Screw Conveyors / Auger Feeders

Abstract

Screw Conveyors Manufacturer & Supplier for Material Conveying: StratGem

Bulk materials are handled by means of screw conveyors, which are highly adaptable mechanical apparatuses. They are generally used in the construction, mining, food processing, and agricultural industries for the horizontal or mildly inclined transportation of materials. 

Components of a Screw Conveyor:

1. Screw or Auger: This is the central component of the conveyor, usually a helical-shaped blade that rotates within a cylindrical casing. The design of the screw can vary depending on the material being conveyed and the specific requirements of the application.
2. Casing: The casing encloses the screw and provides a channel for material transport. It is typically a cylindrical tube, though variations exist for specific applications.
3. Inlet and Outlet: These are the entry and exit points for material into and out of the conveyor.
4. Drive Mechanism: Screw conveyors are usually powered by electric motors, which provide the necessary torque to rotate the screw. The drive mechanism may be directly connected to the screw or connected via gears, belts, or chains.
5. Bearings and Seals: Bearings support the rotating screw, while seals prevent leakage of material and ensure efficient operation.
