The Main Points for Maintenance the Screw Conveyor

Screw conveyor is bulk material handling equipment, which is widely used in chemical, metallurgy, paper making, and construction industries, etc. What is the main point for maintenance the screw conveyor? Here PK Machinery will show you the answers.

1.The connecting shaft, hanger bearing device and head to the tail bearing should be lubricated before operating.

2.Check the each joint, flange whether cracking and open welding or not and whether the connection bolt are loose broken off.

3. If helical blades have rubbed housing phenomenon, you must check the centerline of wear hanging tile and install whether have the deviation.

4.Check the reamer in the daily operation, shut down for inspection if there are some abnormalities.

The key points for screw conveyor selection

1.Conveyor capacity
Screw conveyor conveying capacity refers to the amount of material per unit time.Users should consider whether the conveyor can support the use of other production equipment before design in order to design a reasonable conveyor model.
2.Conveying speed
Conveying speed can improve the transmission capacity. For conveyor which adopts chain as traction, the transporting speed should not be too fast, in order to prevent the power load increasing .
3.Component dimensions
The component dimensions of conveyor includes conveyor trough width or pipe diameter , etc. Which directly affect the transmission capacity of screw conveyor.
4.Conveyor length and inclination
Conveyor length and inclination directly affects the total resistance and required power of the conveyor. Screw conveyors installation can be level and inclined, so please let us know the using condition when select the model.
5.Screw conveyor motors
Motor selection can be speed controlled motor or general motor to control the conveying speed and throughput per hour.
6.Others
Whether hopper should be considered in the inlet or not,as well as the feeding hopper size.  

What is the required parameter for screw conveyor model selection?

In our daily life,screw conveyor is a common used equipment.In order to ask manufacturers  to select model and quote price more quickly and accurately,we need to provide complete machine technical parameter and requirement to manufacturers. Here,PK Machinery lists the parameter needs to offer for reference:
1. Material name _______
2. Material size _______mm
3.Size distribution_______%?
4 .Material water content _______%?
5 .Handling capacity________t/h
6 .Material density ________t/m3?
7 .Material temperature _______ ℃?
8. Material is corrosive or not_______?
9. Distances between inlet and outlet ______m
10.Voltage __V__HZ 3 phase
11.Upstream and downstream equipment _______
12.Working environment _______

 

Thus PK Machinery can select model as per your requirement.Further information please click:www.pkmachinery.com
