The U-Type Screw Conveyor adopts a structure with a "U" - shaped trough, a low - profile screw assembly and fixed installation. The U - shaped trough is connected by sectional flanges, which facilitates the replacement and maintenance of internal liners. This design of U-Type Screw Conveyor ensures easy maintenance for factory managers and production line engineers.The U-Type Screw Conveyor is suitable for horizontal or small - angle conveying, with an inclination angle not exceeding 25°. It can realize single - point feeding or discharging, and also multi - point feeding or discharging. It has great advantages in occasions with large dust and high environmental requirements, making it an ideal choice for procurement personnel in related industries.In addition, the upper part of the U-Type Screw Conveyor is equipped with a rainproof cover, which has good sealing performance. The conveying process is basically closed transportation, which can effectively reduce the leakage of indoor odors or the entry of external dust, meeting the environmental protection needs of various industrial sites.The U-Type Screw Conveyor is suitable for small - range operations, with stable conveying performance. It can play a good role when there are restrictions on the conveying site, providing a practical conveying solution for production lines with limited space.With excellent sealing performance, the U-Type Screw Conveyor has great advantages in occasions with large dust and high environmental requirements, and can avoid the occurrence of dust raising during the conveying process, ensuring a clean working environment for the workshop.
Details and Structure:
- The U-Type Screw Conveyor is mainly composed of a driving device, head assembly, casing, screw body, trough liner, feed port, discharge port, cover (when needed), base, etc. Each component of the U-Type Screw Conveyor is designed to ensure stable operation, which is convenient for factory managers to understand the equipment structure.
- Driving device: The U-Type Screw Conveyor adopts a cycloidal pinwheel reducer or a shaft - mounted hard - tooth - surface gear reducer. In the design, the driving device should be installed at the discharge port end as much as possible to make the screw body in a tension state during operation, ensuring the stable transmission of the equipment for production lines.
- The head of the U-Type Screw Conveyor is equipped with a thrust bearing, which can bear the axial force generated during material conveying, prolonging the service life of the equipment.
- Screw blade: The general material of the screw blade of the U-Type Screw Conveyor is stainless steel or carbon steel. If considering the service life, it is recommended to use the screw conveying blade processed with high - strength wear - resistant steel, which is a cost - effective choice for enterprise procurement.
- Casing: The casing of the U-Type Screw Conveyor is a "U" - shaped trough, with a rainproof cover on the upper part. The material can be stainless steel, carbon steel or FRP, providing multiple choices for different working environments.
- Trough liner: The trough liner of the U-Type Screw Conveyor is made of high - strength engineering plastic high - molecular polyethylene, which has weak adsorption, no material adhesion, wear resistance and corrosion resistance, reducing the frequency of liner replacement for production lines.
- Inlet and outlet: The inlet and outlet of the U-Type Screw Conveyor have two types: square and circular. Generally, the form of the inlet and outlet is determined by the user, meeting the personalized needs of different enterprises for procurement.
Working Principle:
The rotating shaft of the U-Type Screw Conveyor is welded with screw blades. During operation, the screw blades rotate to generate forward power, thereby forcing the materials to move and complete the conveying. The reason why the materials do not rotate with the blades in this process is that firstly, the materials are affected by their own gravity, and secondly, the inner shell of the U-Type Screw Conveyor generates frictional resistance to the materials. This simple and reliable working principle makes the U-Type Screw Conveyor easy to operate and maintain for production line engineers.
Industry Applications:
- The U-Type Screw Conveyor is suitable for conveying powdery, granular and small block materials at small angles and in small ranges. It is widely used in the grain, chemical, building materials, metallurgy, mining, electric power and other sectors. The following are several common application occasions of the U-Type Screw Conveyor, providing reference for procurement personnel in related industries.
- Sewage treatment plants: The U-Type Screw Conveyor can be used in sewage treatment plants to convey solid impurities, such as grid residues from coarse and fine grid cleaners and mud cakes from sludge dewatering machines, helping sewage treatment plants realize efficient material transportation.
- Garbage treatment plants: For kitchen waste or domestic waste generated by home kitchens, restaurants, hotels, canteens, markets and other industries, the U-Type Screw Conveyor with stainless steel material can prevent damage to the machine caused by corrosive materials, ensuring long - term use in garbage treatment plants.
- Industrial waste treatment: The U-Type Screw Conveyor can be applied to boiler coal feeding systems, solid waste incineration and other industrial waste treatment scenarios, improving the efficiency of industrial waste treatment.
- Cement batching plants: The U-Type Screw Conveyor is used for conveying powder materials such as cement and fly ash. During the conveying process, it can also mix and stir the materials to prevent concrete caking, meeting the material conveying and mixing needs of cement batching plants.
