Analysis of solutions for faults in the feed screw cage of flash dryers
Thread Content
The company uses flash dryers for production, with screw conveyors being used for feeding. However, due to the high viscosity and hardness of the material, large pieces of material form during operation, which often leads to damage to the bearing housings of the screw conveyors. Is it possible to install other types of equipment during feeding in order to break down the materials into smaller pieces in advance, thereby reducing the impact on the screw? Has anyone used such devices? Do you have any good suggestions or methods?
Use a sieve for small quantities, and a crusher for large quantities?
Use a belt with a larger pitch, or could a central bearing be added in the middle?
Operates 24 hours a day. Crusher? I haven’t come into contact with it; its hardness isn’t that high.
Due to space constraints, it is not possible to add a bearing in the middle. Replacing the screw belt requires too much modification; it can’t be stopped for that long.
Place a crusher similar to a 30B on top
