Vertical screw conveyors: A vertical screw conveyor conveys material upward in a vertical path. It requires less space than some other types of elevating conveyors. Vertical screw conveyor can handle most of the bulk materials
Power requirement of Screw Conveyors: The driving power of the loaded screw conveyor is given by: P = PH + PN + Pst Where, PH = Power necessary for the progress of the material PN
Design of Screw Conveyor: The size of screw conveyor depends on two factors 1. The capacity of the conveyor 2. The lump size of the material to be conveyed (Maximum dimensions of the particle) Usually
Types of screw flight: The screw of the conveyor may be right hand or left hand, the right hand type being the usual design. The threads of the screw may be single, double or triple.
Application of screw conveyors: Screw conveyors are employed for handling a great variety of materials which have relatively good flowability. Sticky and stingy materials are unsuitable for screw conveying. Screw conveyors have a few favourable
Screw Conveyors Screw conveyors were used as low height lift pump to irrigate the lands. It comprises of an inclined rotating casing with an internal helical screw thread, called flight. When such a casing is
