What Reasons Lead to Screw Conveyor Blade Damage

Damages may occur in the process of using screw conveyor,screw conveyor blade damage is the most common one. Here PK Machinery will discuss the screw conveyor wear in using process.
General wear parts include: hanging bearing, tail & end of the screw conveyor and screw blade,the reasons lead to wear is not only due to natural causes : temperature, environment and material, but also due to structure factor and human factor. Here, we will analyze what are the reasons leading toscrew conveyor blade damage.

 

Generally speaking, screw conveyor is not easy to occur blocking phenomenon in the outlet, it can run at a low speed, reduce the energy consumption, design with a long conveying distance. However, when convey life garbage and organic plant, it may cause the damage of screw blade.
Thicker spiral blade will be anti- wear and durable, it is suitable for conveying materials, screw blade mainly wears in the blade edge.The farther the screw blade away from the axis of rotation, the larger the force it will bear and the more the cracks it will form.  

The package of gear motor on screw conveyor

The package of gear motor on screw conveyor in our company is designed as an alternative to screw conveyor drives. Features include speed reduction ratios combined with a coupled gear motor that eliminates the need for motor mounts, pulleys, belts, or guards. The screw conveyor drive options include a reducer housing, reducer shaft sealing, and output bearings with flange mounting and drive shafts ranging from 1-1/2-in. to 3-7/16-in. A lead taper on the reducer shaft provides mounting and removal, which allows for some screw pipe misalignment and reduced bearing loads.

Stainless Steel Screw Conveyor Used for Gelatin was Delivered to Philippines

Last week, stainless steel screw conveyors which are designed for gelatin left PK factory and was delivered from Qingdao Harbor to the destination of Manila South Harbor.
The screw conveyors are ordered by Philippines clients, the lengths from inlet to outlet are 6m and 3m, considering the conveying material “gelatin” is used for food processing and production line, engineer suggests using stainless steel U type screw conveyor with the model of LS250.

 

After the completion of installation and trial run, there is also a pickling & passivation processing which can not only remove all kinds of oil, rust, oxide skin weld spot, but also improve the corrosion resistance performance of stainless steel greatly.
