Compound Fertilizer Screw Conveyor Main Structure

The Compound Fertilizer Screw Conveyor consists of a screw shaft, screw blades, a trough, a drive unit, and inlet/outlet ports. It achieves stable material transport through screw rotation, featuring a compact structure and support for non-standard customization to meet diverse production needs.

Screw Shaft: The screw shaft is made of extra-thick seamless hollow steel tubing, combining high strength and lightweight advantages, and facilitating easy assembly. The shaft diameter typically ranges from 50-100mm, and is connected segment by segment using high-strength bolts to meet long-distance conveying requirements.

Screw Blades: Different types of blades are available depending on the characteristics of the compound fertilizer and related materials. Solid screw surfaces offer a simple construction and strong conveying capacity, suitable for dry granular or powdery materials; paddle-type screw surfaces also provide a mixing function, specifically designed for materials with high viscosity or compressibility, ensuring smooth conveying.

Trough: Primarily available in U-shaped and circular shapes. U-shaped troughs are suitable for horizontal conveying and have a simple structure; circular troughs are often used in sealed equipment feeding scenarios. The material is 3-6mm thick steel plate, with a standard section length of 1-3 meters. Sections are assembled by bolting.

Feed Inlet: Equipped with an adjustable gate on the trough cover, it precisely controls the material entry speed to adapt to different conveying rhythms. A multi-point feeding design can be customized to flexibly meet the material supply needs of different stages in compound fertilizer production.

Discharge Outlet: Located at the bottom of the trough, it is also equipped with a gate to regulate the material discharge. Some models support multi-point unloading mode, facilitating connection with subsequent processing equipment such as mixers and packaging machines.

How does the Compound Fertilizer Screw Conveyor work?

The Compound Fertilizer Screw Conveyor uses a rotating screw shaft to convey materials. A motor drives the screw shaft to rotate, and the screw blades fixed to the shaft rotate accordingly, pushing the material along the axial direction of the trough. After falling into the trough from the top feed inlet, the material is driven by the continuous rotational force of the screw blades, forming a stable push flow, and finally discharged from the bottom discharge outlet. The equipment precisely regulates the conveying volume and speed by controlling the screw shaft speed and gate opening. Simultaneously, the gap design between the trough and the blades ensures conveying efficiency and reduces resistance, making it suitable for the continuous and stable conveying of compound fertilizer raw materials, powders, and granular materials.
