TYPES TYPES OF OF SCREW SCREW CONVEYORS CONVEYORS A SCREW CONVEYOR SYSTEM DESIGNED TO TRANSFER BOTH SEMI-DRY AND DRY BULK MATERIALS EASILY. FOLLOWING ARE SEVERAL TYPES OF SCREW CONVEYORS, DEPENDING ON THE INTENT AND ANGLE OF INCLINATION.
HORIZONTAL HORIZONTAL SCREW SCREW CONVEYORS CONVEYORS Horizontal screw conveyors are the most common type of auger screw conveyor and come in many lengths, sizes, configurations made with different materials. Screw size standard length ranges from 1 to 60 ft. selected according to the type and characteristics of conveying material.
VERTICAL VERTICAL SCREW SCREW CONVEYORS CONVEYORS It elevates bulk materials extremely steep or even vertical inclines. The screw conveyor is located on an incline above 45° to be vertical. Due to its compact setup, it can fit in tight spaces. It's a dependable, cost-effective solution due to very few moving parts.
INCLINED INCLINED SCREW SCREW CONVEYORS CONVEYORS It operates at an incline from the horizontal, below 45°. Due to the increasing degree of inclination, it needs higher horsepower thus the conveying efficiency is reduced. The screw pitch and the trough type used in the screw conveyor can also affect the efficiency.
FLEXIBLE FLEXIBLE SCREW SCREW CONVEYORS CONVEYORS Also called flexible augers or helical conveyors. It can bend in different positions and adjust its angles. It is different from stationary conveyors, which remain fixed. Within a single facility, a flexible screw conveyor can be applied in many situations.
SHAFTLESS SHAFTLESS SCREW SCREW CONVEYORS CONVEYORS It is designed to move materials that are difficult to convey. These are meant to provide a conveying surface that will not clog. While conveying slow and sticky bulk materials, they allow improved efficiency and greater flexibility in the plant layout.
