Tuesday March-08 2022 16:37:33
The shape of the U-shaped screw conveyor is a U-shaped groove, which is suitable for conveying powder, granular and small block materials with a small inclination angle and a small range. This article will mainly analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the U-shaped screw conveyor:
Advantage:
1. Good sealing
The cross-section of the U-shaped screw conveyor is U-shaped, and it adopts a fully sealed structure, which can avoid dust pollution when conveying powder. And it is convenient to add auxiliary materials in the process of material transportation.
2. Large conveying capacity
The U-shaped screw conveyor can transport up to 134t of material per hour.
3. Easy to load and unload
The horizontal U-shaped screw conveyor loads and unloads materials at any point on its conveying line. At the same time, the U-shaped screw conveyor also has the function of reverse conveying, and one conveyor can convey materials in opposite directions at the same time.
Summary: U-shaped screw conveyor is suitable for horizontal/small inclination conveying, the inclination angle does not exceed 15°, and the sealing performance is good. produce.
Disadvantage:
It is not suitable to convey materials that are easily deteriorated, viscous, and easy to agglomerate.
