Ice Crushed Hose Screw Conveyor

Ice Crushed Hose Screw Conveyor is a flexible conveying device for transporting and transferring crushed ice. It uses a flexible hose as the conveying channel, combined with an internal auger to achieve directional transfer of crushed ice. Unlike traditional rigid conveying equipment, its hose body has flexible bending characteristics, adapting to complex spatial layouts and bypassing obstacles to complete multi-point feeding. The main body is made of low-temperature resistant and wear-resistant materials, suitable for the low-temperature and humid working environment of crushed ice. The product supports horizontal, inclined, and vertical conveying. A single unit can be up to 30 meters long and multiple units can be used in series, with a maximum capacity of 20 tons per hour.

What is the function of the Ice Crushed Hose Screw Conveyor?

The Ice Crushed Hose Screw Conveyor is primarily used for automated ice crushing and conveying, enabling continuous and stable feeding and reducing manual handling. The flexible hose adapts to complex environments, and its enclosed structure minimizes ice melting and spillage, meeting the stable ice supply needs of industries such as seafood, food processing, and cold storage.

It improves the continuity of ice crushing and conveying: replacing manual handling, it enables continuous ice crushing and conveying, making the flow of materials from storage areas to usage points smoother. The equipment can continuously feed along a predetermined path, unaffected by human physical strength or operating rhythm, reducing interruptions and waiting time.

It protects the integrity of the ice crushing: the smooth transition between the internal helical blades and the inner wall of the flexible hose gently applies force to the ice crushing during conveying, reducing excessive compression and breakage, and maintaining the original particle shape of the material.

It adapts to complex conveying environments: the flexible hose can bypass obstacles such as equipment, walls, and stalls, adapting to various complex working conditions such as elevation differences and confined spaces, without requiring large-scale modifications to the site layout. Whether for short-distance point-to-point feeding or long-distance cross-regional transfer, flexible conveying routes can be planned.

Reduced Labor Costs: Traditional ice crushing transfer relies on manual handling, which is labor-intensive and requires a large workforce. This machine can be operated by a single person to complete large-volume ice crushing transfers, reducing labor input and physical exertion.

Ice Crushed Hose Screw Conveyor Structure

The Ice Crushed Hose Screw Conveyor mainly consists of a flexible conveying hose, an internal auger, a drive motor, a feed hopper, and a discharge port. The flexible conveying hose is made of thickened, wear-resistant material, possessing good flexibility and sealing properties, constraining the ice crushing trajectory; the internal auger is made of corrosion-resistant steel, with a blade structure adapted to the characteristics of ice crushing, propelling the material steadily; the drive motor, equipped with a reduction gear, provides stable power to the auger and controls the conveying speed; the feed hopper design facilitates smooth ice crushing into the equipment, and the discharge port allows for directional material discharge.

How Does the Ice Crushed Hose Screw Conveyor Work?

The Ice Crushed Hose Screw Conveyor utilizes the thrust of a rotating helical mechanism for material transport. After the drive motor starts, it activates the reduction gear, which in turn drives the auger inside the hose to rotate at a constant speed. Once the crushed ice enters the hose from the hopper, it is unable to rotate synchronously with the auger due to its own weight and the friction of the hose's inner wall; it only experiences the axial thrust generated by the helical blades. Under this thrust, the crushed ice moves continuously forward along the helical channel inside the hose and is eventually discharged from the outlet.

Types of Ice Crushed Hose Screw Conveyor

Our factory produces two main types of Ice Crushed Hose Screw Conveyors: handheld and vehicle-mounted. The handheld model is lightweight and flexible, suitable for small-scale, small-batch ice transport; the vehicle-mounted model has a longer transport distance and larger capacity, suitable for large-scale transfers and outdoor mobile operations, meeting the transport needs of different scenarios.

Handheld Model: Compact and lightweight, operable by a single person. Hose length is typically 3-6 meters, with a diameter of 100-120mm. The equipment uses a small drive unit with moderate power, facilitating flexible movement and steering, suitable for small-batch, scattered ice crushing.

Vehicle-Mounted Model: Utilizing a vehicle-mounted bracket and an extended conveyor hose, reaching lengths of 8-15 meters, with diameters mostly 110-200mm, suitable for large-volume ice crushing transport. Equipped with a high-power drive motor, the equipment can produce 10-20 tons per hour and can be mounted on trucks, refrigerated trucks, etc., enabling loading, unloading, and long-distance transport of ice crushing.

Ice Crushed Hose Screw Conveyor Technical Specifications

Ice Crushed Hose Screw Conveyor Customer Case Study

A coastal seafood wholesale market purchased a truck-mounted Ice Crushed Hose Screw Conveyor. The equipment features a 12-meter long, 180mm diameter hose, suitable for the market's large-volume crushed ice transport needs. Previously, the market relied on manual handling to supply crushed ice to dozens of seafood vendors daily, which was time-consuming, labor-intensive, and prone to ice loss. After implementing this equipment, crushed ice can be directly transported from the cold storage area to vendors' refrigerated trucks or stalls, with a conveying capacity of up to 15 tons per hour. The hose is flexible and can bend around market stalls and passageways, enabling multi-point delivery.

What is the price of the Ice Crushed Hose Screw Conveyor?

The price range for DaHan Machinery's Ice Crushed Hose Screw Conveyor is $90.00-$1050.00, varying depending on the type of equipment, length, pipe diameter, material, and configuration. Handheld models, due to their simpler structure and smaller size, are generally priced lower in the range; while vehicle-mounted models, due to their larger size and higher configuration, are generally priced higher. Longer equipment and larger pipe diameters result in higher production costs and consequently higher prices. Furthermore, additional configurations such as speed-regulating motors and insulation layers also affect the final price. A detailed quote needs to be determined on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the customer's selected equipment type, conveyor length, pipe diameter, and additional configurations.

The Ice Crushed Hose Screw Conveyor, with its flexible structure and stable conveying capacity, is suitable for various scenarios requiring crushed ice transport. Both handheld and vehicle-mounted models cover small-batch, scattered operations as well as large-scale, mass production.
