A Tubular Screw Conveyor is a device used to transport materials from one place to another. Tubular screw conveyors come in three materials: low-carbon steel (with painting or galvanization), stainless steel, and plastic, to meet the requirements of customers and the on-site environment. The pipe diameter of tubular screw conveyors ranges from 100mm to 1250mm. All machines can be customized to meet individual needs. Pipe screw conveyors can choose carbon steel or stainless steel materials based on the properties of the transported materials and the application industry. Additionally, there are two designs available: with shafts or without shafts (the latter is more suitable for transporting wet, sticky, pasty, etc., materials that are prone to tangling).
Tubular Screw Conveyor Working Principle
The tubular screw conveyor transports the materials axially along the pipeline through the rotation of the screw blade. As the screw blade rotates, the materials are pushed by the blade and move forward along the pipeline. During the transportation process, the materials can be controlled to remain within the pipeline to prevent scattering or accumulation. The rotational speed and conveying angle of the screw blade can be adjusted according to the properties of the materials and the conveying requirements.
Tubular Screw Conveyor Feature
The whole sealing structure can make the tubular screw conveyor in operation without material leakage, protect the working environment.
According to different working conditions, the equipment material can choose carbon steel, stainless steel or other alloy steel.
Simple structure, small cross-section size to facilitate the flexible layout of screw conveyor.
Under the same conditions, compared with other conveying equipment, Tubular Screw Conveyor is more cost-effective.
According to end-user requirements, the tubular screw conveyor can be provided with multiple feeding inlets and discharge outlets.
Fully sealed structure can make the screw conveyor used in dust, corrosion, explosion-proof and other hazardous environments.
Tubular Screw Conveyor Applications
Tubular screw conveyors are widely used in industries such as cement, grain, fertilizer, chemical, metallurgy, and mining, and are suitable for horizontal, inclined, and vertical transportation. Specific applications include:
► Cement industry: Tubular screw conveyors are indispensable equipment in cement production lines, used for transporting raw materials such as cement clinker, fly ash, and limestone.
► Grain industry: Tubular screw conveyors are used for grain transportation, capable of transporting grains from warehouses to processing lines or storage equipment.
► Fertilizer industry: Tubular screw conveyors are often used in fertilizer production lines to transport materials such as urea and ammonium chloride.
► Chemical industry: Tubular screw conveyors are used to transport chemical raw materials and products, such as sodium chloride and alkaline chlorates.
► Metallurgical industry: Tubular screw conveyors can be used to transport materials such as ores and slag, and are widely used in the metallurgical industry.
