Technical specification of APLS screw conveyor

What is the structure of screw conveyor?

It including but not limited to following items. The motor, the gear box, the coupling, the channel, the impeller or blade, the grade or sheet cover, the support leg or frame. If necessary, there is control panel.

Some clients need the screw conveyor to perform at variable frequency. The the VFD can be achieved by control panel, also can be achieved by a mechnical way. Based on different clients' preference, there are horizontal direction gear box and the vertical direction gear box. The gear box can be the helical bevel or the helical worm and wheel type.

Where and why do we need the screw conveyor?

The drilling cuttings waste or the drilling fluids disposal discharged from solids control equipment need to be treated for further drying process. The screw conveyor will help to transfer the disposal to the cerain pit, cuttings dryer or the filter press machine. For example, auger feeder set besides tank and below shaker discharge end. The auger feeder inlet position or channel beginning part can be fit with a hopper in parallel to discharge slide channel

The drilling cuttings waster or the drilling fluids disposal discharged from solids control equipment need to be treated for futher drying process.

The screw conveyor will help to transfer the disposal to the cerain pit, cuttings dryer or the filter press machine. For example, auger feeder

Application of the screw conveyor

Screw conveyor are widely used in various industries, such as building materials, chemical industry, metallurgy, coal coal, food and other industries

Maintenance of screw conveyor

1. Lubricate the transmission parts such as bearings, gears and chains regularly.
2. After the box conveyor is out of service, check the wear of the spiral blades, and repair welding when the wear is serious.
3. The conveying volume must not be overloaded, otherwise the material will not be discharged, causing the screw shaft to bend and the box to swell.
4. When the conveyed medium has a high degree of depression, pay attention to whether the expansion and contraction of the box body is free and there is no stuck place, and if there is any, solve it quickly.
5. When the conveyor is in operation, if the noise is harsh, the cover should be checked to eliminate the fault.

Main components of screw conveyor

Conveyor body, material inlet and outlet and driving device are composed of three parts.
