U-Shaped Screw Conveyor uses rotating helical blades to convey bulk and viscous materials in the U-Shaped casing. Today, I will take stock of the advantages and disadvantages of U-Shaped Screw Conveyor with you. I hope it can help you~

Advantages and Disadvantages of U-Shaped Screw Conveyor

Advantages of U-Shaped Screw Conveyor

1. Stable delivery

It can transport powder, granules, and small lump materials. The materials can also be stirred, mixed, heated and cooled during transportation. The flow of materials can be controlled by adjusting the speed. There are single-axis drive screw and double-axis drive screw, and double helix blades The delivery volume is larger than that of the spiral blade, and the output is 1.5-2 times higher than that of the single shaft.

Conveying stable

2. Multi-point loading and unloading

U-Shaped Screw Conveyor can be loaded and unloaded at any point on its conveyor line, and can be used for intermediate feeding and multi-point feeding at different positions.

Multi-point feed, multi-point discharge

3. Easy maintenance

The upper tank cover of the U-Shaped Screw Conveyor is detachable, which is convenient for checking the operation status and cleaning up the remaining materials in time.

Disadvantages of U-Shaped Screw Conveyor

1. The delivery angle is limited

The delivery angle of U-Shaped Screw Conveyor should not exceed 15°. If the inclination angle is too large, the transmission efficiency will decrease, and the transmission efficiency will decrease by 15% for every 5° increase.

2. The conveying length is limited

Due to the limited pressure bearing capacity of the U-Shaped Screw Conveyor, it is not suitable for long-distance transportation. Suspension bearings need to be installed every 2 meters to prevent excessive wear and tear on the screw conveyor caused by the collapse of the screw shaft.

Summary: The above is an introduction to the advantages and disadvantages of U-Shaped Screw Conveyor. Through the advantages and disadvantages listed above, I believe you have a full understanding of U-Shaped Screw Conveyor. As for whether it is suitable for you, you need to consider it from two perspectives. From the perspective of conveying materials, if it is dusty and has requirements for the environment Occasions, or materials with high water content and poor fluidity, I recommend you to use U-Shaped Screw Conveyor. From the perspective of conveying angle, if the inclination angle is within 25°, you can use U-Shaped Screw Conveyor. If it exceeds this range, it is recommended that you use tube type screw conveyor.
