Calculation of the production capacity of screw conveyors
Thread Content
Could you provide more detailed information on the calculation of the production capacity of screw conveyors? I’m interested in knowing what the letters in the formulas represent and what the units are, etc. Thank you!~~~
I wonder if you use it for design or to complete assignments? Production capacity: Q = 60ntπ/4*D^2Φρ. Where Q represents the transfer rate in t/h; n is the rotational speed of the screw shaft in rpm; t is the pitch in m; D is the diameter of the screw shaft blades in m; Φ is the filling coefficient; and ρ is the bulk density of the material in t/m^3. I’m not sure what information you have available. Let’s see and then decide.

It is recommended that LZ refer to relevant design manuals to select the filling coefficient, or consult the relevant manufacturers
There is a very simple principle: the faster the rotation speed of the screw conveyor, and the larger the diameter of its screw blades, the greater the conveying capacity, and these factors are likely to be directly proportional to each other.
