Design issues of screw conveyors
Thread Content
I hope experts can provide me with a calculation formula and some empirical values: It is necessary to transport solid material in the form of sugar residue, with a density of 0.8. The transportation rate is 5 tons per hour. The speed of the screw conveyor should not be too high, as it is needed to serve a crushing function； When talking to others, it is recommended to use a belt screw. The spiral length is 11m.
It seems that your spiral is too long; the conveying effect won’t be good, and there’s a risk of the shaft breaking
