Customized Screw Conveyors Factory Direct

Jiangteng is a reliable manufacturer of screw conveyors. We assess specific operational requirements to recommend and specify the most suitable solution. A variety of types are available, including tubular, shaftless, and U-trough models.

What Is a Screw Conveyor?

A screw conveyor moves powder, granules or small bulk solids through a stationary trough or tube by means of a rotating helical flight. It can feed, transfer, meter or discharge material between process equipment when the screw geometry, speed, housing and drive are correctly matched to the product.

Capacity Is Not Determined by Diameter Alone

Conveying capacity is affected by screw diameter, pitch, speed, loading ratio, inclination, material bulk density, flowability and inlet conditions. Increasing speed without checking the material may increase wear, damage particles, create heat or cause unstable feeding.

Information Required for Selection

To provide you with the best equipment selection advice and develop a final project plan, please provide the following information to Jiangteng:

● Material name, bulk density, particle size, and flowability.

● Moisture content, stickiness, abrasiveness, corrosiveness, and temperature.

● Required conveying capacity, conveying distance, and inclination angle.

● Number, location, and connection type of inlets and outlets.

● Operating hours, start-stop frequency, voltage, and hazardous area requirements.

Customization Options

● Diameter, length, pitch, and screw-flight arrangement determined by calculation.

● Carbon steel, stainless steel, or application-specific materials for product-contact parts.

● Horizontal, inclined, vertical, or project-specific routing based on suitability assessment.

● Multiple inlets/outlets, inspection doors, wear liners, supports, and seals.

● Motor, gearbox, coupling, VFD, and specific brands as agreed upon.

FAQ

How does inclination affect screw-conveyor capacity?

Capacity normally decreases as inclination increases. The reduction depends on material behavior, screw geometry, loading and speed, so the inclined duty must be calculated separately.

When should I choose a shaftless screw?

It may be considered for sticky, fibrous or irregular material that could wrap around a center shaft. Liner wear and drive torque must also be evaluated.

Can one conveyor have several inlets or outlets?

Yes. Their positions, gates and loading sequence must be included in the design so the screw is not overloaded.

What causes blockage?

Common causes include excessive loading, unsuitable speed, sticky material, poor inlet design, inadequate clearance or an interrupted downstream process.
