About Screw Conveyor Fabrication
Justifying our reputation in this market, we are readily immersed in the arena of offering to our patrons a broad consignment of Screw Conyer Fabrication Service.
Screw conveyor fabrication involves creating a system to transport materials using a rotating helical screw within a tube or trough. Key components are a shaft with a continuous flight (the helix), bearings to support the shaft, an enclosed housing (tube or trough), a drive mechanism (motor and gearbox), and inlets/outlets for material flow. Fabrication focuses on selecting appropriate materials (like carbon steel or stainless steel) and manufacturing these components to precise specifications, enabling efficient, controlled handling of various bulk solids, powders, and semi-liquids for industries such as agriculture, food processing, and waste management.
Key Components of a Screw Conveyor
- Screw Shaft: The central component, a helical blade (flighting) coiled around a central shaft.
- Trough or Tube: The housing that contains the rotating screw and directs the material flow.
- Bearings: Support the rotating shaft, with hanger bearings potentially used for longer shafts.
- Drive System: Includes a motor and a gearbox to rotate the screw shaft.
- Inlets and Outlets: Points where material enters the trough and where it exits.
- Seals and Covers: Gaskets and inspection covers for sealing the housing and for access.
