What is a screw auger conveyor?

Screw Auger Conveyor is a kind of conveying equipment that conveys materials in the form of a spiral, also known as screw conveyor or screw elevator. It is one of the popular and reliable small-scale continuous conveying equipment, which can be widely used in chemical industry, construction, grain processing, light industry, medicine, feed, metallurgy, mining and other industries.

The screw auger conveyor is mainly composed of a screw shaft, an intermediate bearing, a base, a shell, an inlet, an outlet, and a driving device. Among them, the shaft with the screw is the core component of the auger conveyor, which is responsible for transporting the material from the place where the material is stored to the destination. There are many shapes of the screw shaft, the common ones are solid type, hollow type, type with intermediate bearing, etc. In addition, due to its advantages of flexible operation and simple structure, the screw auger conveyor can also be used in combination with other conveying equipment, such as forming a molding production line, or used in conjunction with grate conveyors, belt conveyors, etc. to achieve automated production and seamless people homework.

Spiral auger conveyor can complete functions such as lifting, filtering, and cooling when conveying materials, and is directly connected with trucks, storage tanks or production equipment; in addition, because the materials are directly put into the feeding port, there is no need to It will produce a large amount of dust, has little pollution to the environment, and has great advantages in dealing with flammable, explosive and difficult-to-handle materials.

It should be reminded that because the hopper of the auger conveyor is small, it is suitable for continuous conveying of relatively small materials, such as coal, ash, steel slag, silicate and other granular materials, powder materials or flake materials. However, liquid, viscous and other materials are not suitable for this type of conveyor.

In general, the screw auger conveyor is characterized by simple structure, convenient maintenance, flexible operation, large transportation volume, wide application range, and can meet the requirements of different process transportation. It is believed that in future applications, the auger conveyor will gradually show a broader application value.
