Working Principle of Screw Conveyor

The material transportation of Screw Conveyor is mainly liquid, powder and small granular materials. Before understanding the working principle of Screw Conveyor, we need to know what are the components of Screw Conveyor. Only in this way can we clearly know how the Screw Conveyor works.

The components of the Screw Conveyor are actually not many, mainly divided into three parts, the body of the Screw Conveyor, the access device, and the drive device.

Among them, the screw body is mainly composed of head section, middle section, tail section, screw shaft, and screw blades; the entry and exit devices are set at the head and tail of the machine according to the needs of customers; the driving device is composed of motors, reducers, couplings, etc.

The conveying process of the Screw Conveyor mainly relies on the driving device to provide power. The screw bearing is connected by the coupling to move, and the screw blade rotates with the bearing. The material relies on the friction force to generate the driving force with the casing and the screw blade. Move the bottom forward. As the material continues to enter, the material that comes in later generates a certain thrust, pushing the material in front to move forward until it is discharged from the discharge port; this greatly reduces the power consumption of the Screw Conveyor during operation.
