A screw conveyor is a continuous conveyor without winding components. Utilizing the rotational power of the working component, namely the screw, to transport materials forward, it is one of the important mechanical devices in modern production and logistics. Screw conveyors are widely used in industries such as mining, chemicals, coal, and fertilizers. Key points to consider when selecting a screw for a screw conveyor: 1. Motor and reducer of the screw conveyor: power level and installation requirements; 2. Inlet and outlet of the screw conveyor: these can be either open or closed, depending on the customer’s requirements, including whether the inlet and outlet should be square or round in shape ； 3. Transport capacity of screw conveyors: When transporting bulk materials, it is calculated based on the mass or volume of material transported per hour; when transporting solids, it is determined by the amount transported per hour ； 4. Conveying speed of screw conveyor: The conveying speed determines the transport capacity; for a certain type of material, the conveying speed should not be too high ； 5. Screw conveyor dimensions: The components and dimensions of the screw conveyor, as well as the diameter of the tube, determine the total amount of material that can be transported ； 6. Inclination angle of the screw conveyor: The length and inclination angle of the screw conveyor are determined based on requirements and the conditions of the material to be conveyed; the inclination angle can be 45° or vertical ； This is an introduction to the methods for selecting screw conveyors today.
