The small screw conveyor is small and light, very convenient to move, especially suitable for users who have little requirement for conveying output. However, when choosing a small screw conveyor, the following issues should also be paid attention to:
1. Material
The price of equipment made of polypropylene pp, ordinary carbon steel and stainless steel varies greatly. When purchasing, we can consider the material of the screw conveyor through the characteristics of the material.
Stainless steel small screw conveyor: mostly used in food, medicine and other industries or enterprises that have high requirements on the sanitation environment. Stainless steel material is acid-resistant, corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant. It is easier to clean up after use, it will last longer than carbon steel, and the price will be higher.
Carbon steel small screw conveyor: Carbon steel is a commonly used material and is also used in many industries. Carbon steel has low cost, good thermal insulation effect, no cooling device and low power consumption. The anti-corrosion and anti-rust effect will be slightly worse, but the normal transportation of materials can also be achieved.
Polypropylene pp plastic small screw conveyor: strong corrosion resistance, mostly used to transport animal manure, sewage, etc.
2. Delivery requirements
(1) The conveying volume refers to the weight of the material conveyed within a certain period of time. Small screw conveyors include LS114, LS159, LS160, LS250 and other models, each with its own advantages and different conveying volumes.
(2) In addition, users can choose shaft or shaftless, tubular or U-shaped. If the material is easy to wrap, choose a shaftless small screw conveyor, and if the material conveying inclination is large, choose a tubular small screw conveyor .
3. Motor
The motor power of the small screw conveyor can be determined according to the output, material specific gravity, etc. Motors can be divided into ordinary motors and speed-regulated motors.
The high-speed motor can adapt to the changes of materials better than ordinary motors, and it is convenient to make changes in time when the materials are conveyed.
4. Length and angle
The length and angle of the small screw conveyor directly affect the propulsion force of the conveyor and the required motor power.
Before selecting, it is necessary to determine the distance that the material needs to be conveyed and the height that needs to be lifted.
