grain screw conveyor

Product introduction of grain screw conveyor

Grain screw conveyor is a type of screw conveyor commonly used in the agricultural industry to move grain from one location to another. It consists of a helical screw blade, or auger, that rotates within a tube or trough, moving the grain along the length of the conveyor. The screw conveyor can be powered by an electric motor or other power source, and can be designed to handle different types of grains, including wheat, corn, soybeans, and barley.

Grain screw conveyor can be designed in various configurations, depending on the specific needs of the application. For example, the conveyor can be designed to handle different capacities of grain, ranging from small quantities for laboratory testing to large-scale commercial quantities. The conveyor can also be designed with different lengths and diameters, depending on the distance the grain needs to be moved and the space available for the conveyor.

Application

Grain screw conveyors are commonly used in the grain industry to move various grains from one location to another. The following are some specific applications of screw conveyors in the grain industry:

1. Conveying grain: It can be used to transport grain from one location to another, such as from a storage silo to a processing machine. Conveyors can be designed to handle different types of grain including wheat, corn, soybeans and barley.

2. Mixing grains: It can also be used to mix different types of grains and introduce them into the mixer through a conveyor. This helps ensure a consistent mix and reduces the physical labor required.

3. Loading and unloading truck: It can be used for grain loading and unloading trucks. The conveyor can be located on the top of the truck to fill the truck with grain, or at the bottom of the truck to unload the grain into the storage bin.

4. Grain Lifting: Can be used to lift grain vertically, such as from a lower level to a higher level for storage or processing. Conveyors can be designed to handle the weight of the grain and the distance it needs to travel.

5. Grain Recovery: Can be used to recover unused or excess grain from storage bins. Conveyors can transport grain back to processing machines for reuse, reducing waste and saving money.

Application Features

1. Efficiency: Screw conveyors can transport large quantities of grain quickly and efficiently, reducing the time and labor required to move grain from one location to another. This helps increase productivity and reduce operating costs.

2. Versatility: Can handle different types of grains, including wheat, corn, soybeans and barley, as well as grains of different sizes and shapes. Conveyors can be designed with different capacities, configurations and flight options to meet the specific needs of the application.

3. Flexibility: Can be designed to move grain horizontally, vertically or obliquely, depending on the layout of the processing facility and the distance the grain needs to travel. Conveyors can also be designed with flexible or telescoping tubes to allow movement around corners or tight spaces.

4. Sanitation: It can be designed with a removable cover and an easy-to-clean surface for easy cleaning and maintenance, which is essential in agriculture to prevent grain contamination and ensure the safety of food animals.

5. Safety: Safety functions can be designed, such as guards and emergency stop buttons to prevent employees from touching moving parts, to ensure the safety of workers and prevent accidents.

Product structure

grain screw conveyor is mainly composed of driving device, head section, middle section, tail section, head and tail bearings, feeding and discharging device and other parts.

1. The connection between the screw shaft and the suspension bearing, the head and the tail shaft are all connected by the embedded tongue, the installation and disassembly do not need axial movement, and the maintenance is convenient. Long mandrel, less hanging, less failure points.

2. The variable diameter structure is adopted to increase the volume of the hanging bearing to avoid the contact between the hanging bearing and the material, and the life of the hanging bearing can reach more than two years.

3. Each transmission part adopts floating connection mode, and the hanging bearing is a universal joint structure, so that the spiral body, hanging bearing and tail assembly form a whole rotating floating body, which can freely rotate and avoid with the conveying resistance within a certain range, without material jam, No clogging.

4. Both the head and tail bearing seats are outside the shell, and all bearings adopt multi-layer sealing and matching sealing technology, so the service life of the bearings is long.
