Horizontal Screw Conveyor

Jiangteng is a manufacturer of horizontal screw conveyors based in China. We offer direct-from-factory pricing and reliable after-sales service. Our equipment features leak-proof sealing, is environmentally friendly, operates smoothly, and is adaptable to the specific working conditions of various industries.

What is a Horizontal Screw Conveyor?

A Horizontal Screw Conveyor utilizes a rotating helical blade to smoothly propel materials forward, serving as a critical piece of equipment for continuous production across numerous industries.

It is not only suitable for common materials found in sectors such as grain, fertilizers, mining, plastics, and construction materials (e.g., wheat, urea, mineral powder, plastic pellets, cement, etc.), but can also be flexibly integrated—based on your specific site layout and process requirements—with equipment such as crushers, screening machines, and storage hoppers to form a highly efficient and cohesive production line.

Furthermore—and particularly noteworthy—through Jiangteng’s custom design capabilities, this conveyor can facilitate the simultaneous conveying and mixing of multiple materials, thereby making your production workflow even more flexible and efficient.

Why Choose Our Horizontal Screw Conveyor?

As an experienced manufacturer, Jiangteng offers more than just equipment; we provide practical solutions tailored to your actual production needs:

1. Compact Structure

Featuring an integrated design, this equipment occupies only one-third of the footprint required by traditional belt conveyors, making it ideal for space-constrained environments such as workshops and warehouses.

2. Smooth Operation

Thanks to precision-machined spiral blades and minimal clearance within the trough, materials are conveyed smoothly without accumulation, boosting transport efficiency by 5 to 10 times compared to manual handling.

3. Simple Maintenance

The entire unit features a modular assembly design; components such as the trough, spiral shaft, and blades can be dismantled independently, allowing for the replacement of worn parts without the need for extensive disassembly.

4. High Adaptability & Customization

We can adjust parameters—including rotational speed (0–300 rpm), blade type (solid, ribbon, or paddle), and trough material (e.g., Stainless Steel 304 or Carbon Steel Q235)—based on your specific material characteristics, ensuring a truly bespoke solution tailored to your requirements.

5. Superior Sealing

With a fully enclosed structure—complemented by optional dust-proof and water-resistant seals—the system effectively prevents dust emission and material spillage, thereby maintaining a clean and hygienic workshop environment.

Equipment Workflow

1. The motor starts, transmitting power through the speed reducer.

2. The spiral shaft drives the spiral blades to rotate at a constant speed.

3. Propelled by the blades, the material moves steadily forward along the inner wall of the conveyor trough.

4. Under the combined influence of its own weight and the frictional force from the blades, the material is continuously conveyed from the inlet to the outlet.

5. The conveying process is completed, and the unit is ready to interface with the equipment for the subsequent stage of the operation.

FAQ

Q: Will highly viscous materials (such as sludge) stick to the screw blades?

A: For viscous materials, we offer a specialized blade design equipped with scrapers, combined with a smooth-walled trough interior. By also adjusting the rotational speed, we can effectively minimize material adhesion and ensure continuous conveying.

Q: What should be done if the Horizontal Screw Conveyor generates excessive noise during operation?

A: Noise typically stems from loose components, worn bearings, or improper clearances.

Our equipment undergoes thorough commissioning prior to leaving the factory. We recommend regularly inspecting fasteners, lubricating bearings, and maintaining the specified design clearances to ensure quiet operation.

Q: How can I verify whether the conveying capacity meets the required standards?

A: You can assess this by performing timed weight measurements or by observing the material fill rate within the trough (typically, a fill rate of 50%–80% is recommended).

If the results do not meet the specifications, you can adjust the feed rate or the rotational speed; we also offer on-site commissioning services to assist you.

Q: What is the typical service life of the equipment? How can I extend its lifespan?

A: Under normal operating conditions and with proper maintenance, the main structural components can last for 5 to 8 years or longer.

Regular maintenance, the selection of appropriate materials for wear parts, and avoiding overloading the equipment can all significantly extend its service life.
