A screw conveyor involves careful design, material selection, machining, welding, assembly, testing, and
quality control to produce a durable and effective conveying system for bulk materials in various
industrial applications. A screw conveyor involves several key steps to create a reliable and efficient
conveying system for bulk materials. The process begins with the design phase, where engineers determine
the specifications based on the application requirements. Factors such as material type, flow rate, and
system layout are considered in designing the screw conveyor, selecting appropriate materials for the
screw and trough is crucial. Common choices include carbon steel, stainless steel, and
abrasion-resistant alloys, depending on the conveyed material and environmental conditions. Raw
materials are cut and machined to form the necessary components of the screw conveyor, including the
helical screw blade and the trough. The completed screw conveyor undergoes rigorous testing to ensure it
meets design specifications and quality standards. Functional tests may include checking rotational
speed, material flow, and overall performance. Maintenance recommendations are often included to ensure
ongoing reliability and efficiency.
Belt conveyors are versatile material handling equipment used for conveying bulk density less than
1.67t/m³, including powder, granular, small lump, and bagged materials like sand, ore, coal, and cement.
They are economical and practical, suitable for both small and long-distance conveyances. In the cement
industry, belt conveyors are used for transporting raw materials, semi-finished products, and finished
items between mining, crushing, packaging, feeding, metering, and storage. They offer high productivity,
long transportation distances, multi-point loading and unloading, low power consumption, and convenient
operation. Belt conveyors come in various forms, including grooved, flat, climbing, roll, and curved.
They consist of a frame, conveyor belt, roller, tensioning device, and transmission device. The material
is weighed by balancing frames to determine its carrying capacity and connection speed. The conveyor
belt is driven by two end-point rollers and a closed conveyor belt.
