U-shaped screw conveyor

Category: ProductsScrew conveyor

The U-shaped screw conveyor system is very versatile. The U-shaped rotary conveyor is made of stainless steel and the surface is treated appropriately according to the application situation. During the processing, the surface of the tank is smooth, which reduces the residue of the material to a lower level. The U-shaped screw conveyor consists of the following components: a V-shaped groove body equipped with one less discharge port, end plates at both ends of the groove body, spiral blades welded to the middle pipe (with connecting bushings at each end), two end bearing assemblies with adjustable shaft sealing units, intermediate hanging bearings determined by the overall length of the screw conveyor, and bolted groove covers. In addition, the U-shaped rotary conveyor is equipped with gear reducers and motors to meet practical requirements.

The U-shaped screw conveyor system has a wide range of applications in the transportation of bulk materials. When using a U-shaped conveyor, avoid any contamination of the material while being clean and non corrosive.

In fact, U-shaped screw conveyors are mainly used in environmental technology, grinding of flour and animal feed, food processing and packaging, plastics and chemical products, as well as in the pharmaceutical industry.

Characteristics of U-shaped screw conveyor:

  1. Does the groove body and spiral of standard 304L or 316L stainless steel design standard length comply with WAM? Standard polygonal or cylindrical discharge outlet.
  2. The end bearing assembly with externally adjustable shaft seals (packing box, air purifier, and others) meets the requirements of different situations. The intermediate hanging bearing (self-lubricating) is vertically welded to the end flange of the groove fixture.
  3. The end plate carries a flange connected end bearing assembly and a modular length spiral blade with fixed or variable pitch closure groove is welded to the intermediate shaft, which has couplings at both ends.
  4. The spiral parts are connected by splines or bolted couplings, and the spiral runs smoothly. The bearing components are designed by WAM company and can adapt to various application situations. The groove body is smooth and the residual amount of material is small.

U-shaped screw conveyors can be divided into: shaftless screw conveyors, single axis screw conveyors, and multi axis screw conveyors (double axis screw conveyors).

The U-shaped spiral conveyor box is a U-shaped box with a lid added to the upper opening.

The box is connected by flanges, usually every 3 meters, and a hanging shaft conveyor is installed at the interface to transport materials over long distances.

The advantages of U-shaped screw conveyor are:

  1. The thickness of the box can be controlled, and the length can be freely controlled.
  2. Designed in an open style with a lid above for easy observation.
  3. Easy to clean (simply open the top cover to clean).
  4. Large conveying capacity, not controlled by standard pipes, can customize box size according to customer requirements.
  5. Easy maintenance, every 3 meters per section, replacement parts and boxes can be replaced according to the degree of damage to each section.
  6. Good sealing performance, encrypting the seal on the lid can prevent gas and materials from being exposed.
  7. Will not excessively squeeze the material, there is space above the spiral plate, and the material will not be subjected to excessive squeezing, ensuring the integrity of the material.
