Screw conveyor for inhomogeneous bulk materials is a professional equipment developed specifically for handling mixed bulk materials with complex ingredients, different particle sizes, and uneven humidity. It adopts an innovative variable diameter and variable pitch screw design and an intelligent control system, which can automatically adapt to the conveying needs of special materials such as construction waste, mine tailings, and municipal sludge. The Screw Conveyor is equipped with tungsten carbide spray blades and polymer wear-resistant liners, with a service life of 3 times that of ordinary equipment, and integrates intelligent functions such as load sensing speed regulation and automatic anti-blocking, which increases the conveying efficiency by more than 40% and reduces the failure rate by 90%.

What types of conveyors are used for inhomogeneous bulk materials

Conveyors used to convey inhomogeneous bulk materials (such as mixed materials with large particle size differences, containing fibers/blocks, and sticky or easy to entangle) need to match the structural design according to the material characteristics.

Shaftless screw conveyor: No center shaft design, completely solves the entanglement problem of fibrous and ribbon materials (such as domestic garbage and sludge).

Shafted screw conveyor: blade diameter or pitch changes gradually, extruding and conveying gas-containing materials or wet materials (such as chemical wet materials, food waste), reducing volume gaps.

Belt conveyor: Continuously conveying materials using a ring conveyor belt, suitable for bulk, non-viscous mixed materials, especially long-distance transportation.

Trough belt conveyor: The conveyor belt is trough-shaped to prevent material scattering, suitable for conveying granular/blocky mixed materials (such as mining gravel, sand and gravel).

Skirt belt conveyor: The conveyor side has a skirt design, suitable for conveying wet materials, powder materials or scenes with large inclination angles (such as wet slag).

Bucket elevator: The material is lifted vertically through the hopper, suitable for mixed materials with small and medium particle sizes and good fluidity, especially vertical conveying scenes.

Chain conveyor: The scraper is used to transport materials using a chain, suitable for non-uniform materials with high viscosity and high specific gravity.

Scraper conveyor: The chain drives the scraper to push the material, which can convey large particles and high humidity materials (such as slurry, concrete aggregate).

Features of screw conveyors for non-uniform bulk materials

Designed for bulk materials with mixed components, different particle sizes, and uneven humidity, it adopts innovative structures such as variable diameter and variable pitch, shaftless/double spiral, etc. to solve the pain points of easy clogging and fast wear of traditional equipment.

Specially designed spiral blades: spiral blades of different shapes and angles are used to adapt to different types of non-uniform materials and reduce clogging and separation. Some models are equipped with baffles or guides to enhance the mixing effect of materials.

Adjustable conveying speed: By adjusting the speed of the drive device, the conveying speed of the material can be flexibly controlled to adapt to different work needs.

Enclosed design: The closed casing effectively prevents material leakage during transportation, reduces dust pollution, and protects the working environment.

Strong adaptability: Suitable for non-uniform bulk materials of various shapes and densities, widely used in chemical, construction, agriculture and other industries.

Application scenarios of screw conveyors for non-uniform bulk materials

It can quickly convey bulk materials with mixed components and uneven particle sizes. It is an ideal conveying solution for solid waste treatment, metallurgy, mining, and other fields!

Chemical industry: used to convey various chemical raw materials, powders and particles, commonly seen in the production process of plastics, fertilizers, coatings, etc.

Construction industry: used for conveying construction materials such as sand, gravel, cement, etc., and can handle mixed materials of different particle sizes.

Food industry: used in food processing to convey mixed particles, seasonings, etc. to ensure the uniformity and quality of materials.

Agriculture: used to convey bulk materials such as grain and feed, and can handle materials with different humidity and particle shapes.
