Shafted Screw Conveyor
a. Rationale
The Shafted Screw Conveyor is driven by a motor to rotate the screw blades, enabling the continuous conveyance of material along the spiral groove in the fixed shell.
b. Classification
There are three main categories of screw conveyor, which are distinguished by their conveying form, structural form and use.
The first category, according to the conveying form, is divided into horizontal, inclined and vertical conveyors.
The second category, according to the structural form, is divided into U-type and tube-type conveyors.
The third category, according to the use, is divided into industrial, agricultural and construction screw conveyors.
c. Role
The Shafted Screw Conveyor is a highly versatile piece of machinery, ideally suited to the conveying of powdery, granular and small lumpy materials. It is used extensively across a range of industries, including agriculture, food, chemicals, mining and construction, where it plays a crucial role in improving material conveying efficiency and automation levels.
