Material characteristics determine which screw feeder type is best for each application Below are descriptions of the design and function of each screw feeder type Variable Pitch or Stepped Pitch The pitch of the screw varies from shorter to longer as the screw progresses toward the discharge of the screw feeder
Vertical screw conveyors are also efficient space savers; the maximum height of a screw conveyor can vary as it s dependent on the volume of material it needs to convey However most vertical screw conveyors rarely exceed a height of around 50 feet The size and speed of a conveyor are dependent on the maximum volume being transported
INCLINED AND VERTICAL SCREW 31 SCREW 32 APPENDIX GENERAL ENGINEERING i 1 Introduction The following section is designed to present the necessary engineering information to properly design and layout most conveyor applications The information has been compiled from many
VE Vertical Screw Lift Systems are the most economical and space saving solution for transferring powders or granular materials from a lower to a higher level The bulk material withdrawn from a silo hopper conveying or feeding device may be discharged by the vertical screw into a weigh hopper into one or more bins or silos or into another conveyor or conveying system VE

Above 45 degrees an inclined screw conveyor is considered a vertical screw conveyor and must be designed in accordance with the KWS Engineering Guide for Vertical Screw Conveyors As the degree of incline increases conveying efficiency is reduced and horsepower requirements increase due to the effects of gravity and bulk material fall back
Normally short in length Screw Feeders are designed to regulate the volumetric rate of material flow from a hopper bin or storage unit The inlet is usually flooded with material 100% load capacity but by incorporating changes in the construction of the flighting diameter pitch etc and the speed of the feeder screw the material discharge can be governed to the desired rate
3 Screw Feeders are used to control the flow rate of free flowing bulk material from a bin or hopper The inlet section of the trough is designed to be flooded 100% full A shroud curved cover or tubular trough helps restrict the flooded area to only the inlet section
They are also space and cost efficient in transporting bulk materials Controlling the amount of bulk material fed to the screw conveyor is critical for vertical screw conveyors to maintain a constant speed reduce wear and power consumption and increase the conveyor efficiency Hence bulk metering devices such as screw feeders are necessary
