Flexible screw conveyor is an efficient and flexible conveying equipment, suitable for lifting and conveying materials such as soybean meal, soybean powder, bean skin, feed powder, grain pellets, etc. Compared with traditional rigid screw conveyors, flexible screw conveyors can bend and convey, adapt to complex production line layouts, and are particularly suitable for materials such as soybean meal that are easy to absorb moisture and agglomerate and have poor fluidity.

How does the flexible screw conveyor for soybean meal lifting work?

1. Loading at the feed port: soybean meal is loaded onto the spiral screw of the flexible screw conveyor through the feed port.

2. Spiral rotation conveying: The rotation of the spiral screw pushes the soybean meal forward along the spiral channel to realize the conveying of soybean meal.

3. Unloading at the discharge port: When the soybean meal reaches the destination, the soybean meal is unloaded to the next processing stage or equipment through the discharge port.

What are the advantages of flexible screw conveyor for soybean meal lifting?

1. Suitable for light and easy-to-agglomerate materials such as soybean meal

Soybean meal is a high-protein powder or granular material with strong hygroscopicity, easy to agglomerate and stick. Flexible screw conveyor for soybean meal lifting adopts a spring-like spiral structure, which rolls slightly during the conveying process to prevent the soybean meal from compacting.

2. Flexible conveying angle, can bypass obstacles

Flexible screw conveyor for soybean meal lifting can be bent for conveying (up to 90°), adapting to the layout of complex production lines. It occupies a small area and is suitable for workshops with limited space. It can be used for vertical lifting and horizontal conveying.

3. Avoid dust pollution and keep the workshop clean

Flexible screw conveyor for soybean meal lifting adopts a fully enclosed conveying pipeline to avoid the spread of soybean meal dust. It can be linked with dust removal equipment to reduce dust accumulation and meet food/feed safety standards.

4. Low energy consumption and low maintenance cost

Flexible screw conveyor for soybean meal lifting has a small driving power (usually 0.75kW-5.5kW) and a bearingless design. It is suitable for long-term continuous operation and easy to disassemble and clean. It is suitable for the food and feed industry.

Application of Flexible screw conveyor for soybean meal lifting

1. Feed production industry:

① Raw material transportation: flexible screw conveyor for soybean meal lifting can be used to transport soybean meal from storage warehouse to mixer or pellet machine.

② Batching system: soybean meal usually needs to be mixed with other raw materials, and flexible screw conveyor for soybean meal lifting can be used to transport soybean meal to the batching system to achieve uniform feeding.

2. Food processing industry:

① Soy product production: flexible screw conveyor for soybean meal lifting can be used to transport soybean meal to mixing equipment or drying equipment and other processes.

② Soybean meal packaging: flexible screw conveyor for soybean meal lifting can be used to transport soybean meal from the production line to the packaging machine to achieve automated production.

3. Agricultural field:

① Soil conditioner: soybean meal is often used as an organic soil conditioner in agriculture, and is used to transport soybean meal to fertilization equipment or mixers.

② Feed distribution: farms need to transport feed raw materials such as soybean meal to animal feeding areas for feed transportation and distribution.

4. Industrial production:

①Soybean meal processing plant: flexible screw conveyor for soybean meal lifting can be used to transport soybean meal from the production line to the packaging line or other processing equipment.

②Soybean meal storage: The soybean meal is transported from the production line to the storage warehouse, and flexible screw conveyor for soybean meal lifting can play a fast and efficient transportation role.

Precautions for flexible screw conveyor for soybean meal lifting

Material property test: It is recommended to test the oil content, moisture content and particle size distribution of soybean meal before selection to determine the best screw type and speed.

Anti-blocking design: If the moisture content of soybean meal is high, an anti-bridge device can be installed at the hopper to ensure smooth material discharge.

Regular inspection: Pay attention to the wear of the spiral and the pipe wall, and replace parts in time to maintain efficiency.

Flexible screw conveyor for soybean meal lifting is a device specially used for conveying soybean meal and other powdered or granular materials. It is widely used in feed, food and other industries due to its flexible spiral structure and efficient lifting capacity.
