Using The KWs sCReW COnveyOR gUide Each component specified in the KWS Screw Conveyor Component Guide can be used in the design and manufacture of screw conveyors and screw feeders A very wide selection of components is provided so the engineer or designer can customize each screw conveyor or screw feeder for a specific application or need
phase electric motor The workability of the screw conveyor was test run using beans grain and the result 200 rpm rotation of the screw conveyor The sizes of the pulley selected are 100 mm and 200 mm respectively The 100 mm pulley is attached to
A screw conveyor is a versatile machine capable of fitting a wide verity of applications and moving an almost infinite range of bulk materials One of the first questions asked when designing a screw conveyor is how is it being fed This is a critical question and has a huge influence on the design of the inlet trough flighting and drive
Screw Conveyor Calculator used to calculate screw conveyor capacity screw conveyor speed and screw conveyor power calcutions for conveying equipment fabrication Industry
Every KWS screw conveyor is designed to this criteria with a minimum safety factor of 5 to 1 The motor on the screw conveyor will stall out before there is a mechanical failure of a screw conveyor component Maximum torque ratings for each screw conveyor component are shown in the Torque Tables Maximum torque ratings are based on a safe
GENERAL CAPACITIES FOR SCREW CONVEYORS 250 BPH 3" 3" " " 4000 5000 BPH The below ratings are established in horizontal position using a 45% loading factor based upon dry grains including barley bran brewers grain shelled corn corn germ corn meal cottonseed meal malt maize oats rice rye soybeans timothy wheat and cracked wheat
Primary considerations for the selection of a screw conveyor are Type and condition of the material to be handled including maximum particle size and if available the specific bulk density of the material to be conveyed Checking of component torque capacities including selection of shaft types and sizes
When designing a sludge conveyor system a combination of factors need to be considered when sizing the trough spiral and drive motor/gearbox Conveyed material characteristics; Trough Size length and design; Spiral diameter pitch and model; Motor power and gearbox RPM; Elevation angle of the conveyor; Feed method
The "screw conveyor design procedure" on the following page gives ten step by step instructions for properly designing a screw conveyor These steps plus the many following tables and formulas throughout the engineering section will enable you to design and
Dodge Torque Arm Family Screw Conveyor Driveshafts Dodge provides SCXT TAII or MTA gearboxes that can be used as drives for screw conveyors Figure 1 shows the most common setup for a screw conveyor drive All these gearboxes can be driven by an electric motor belt driven or direct drive or some can also be hydraulically driven
Screw conveyors consist of a trough or tube containing a spiral screw blade wrapped around a central shaft when operating the screw spins driving the material through the enclosed passage Typically Screw conveyors are used horizontally or at a slight incline of up to 45 degrees however when plant space is a premium a vertical screw

Screw Conveyor Sizing Flow Rate and Screw Size Since the purpose of a screw conveyor is to move product from point A to point B you ll want to determine how fast you want the product to move this is called the flow rate or capacity Of course a screw conveyor can only hold so much material at one time but the bigger the screw inside the conveyor and
of the nominal torque of the motor in screw conveyors and even lower in screw feeders However it is impossible to decrease the motor size as it will be unable to start This is why the sizing done in accordance with the standards is quite reliable in screw conveyors; however it is not quite so precise in screw feeders; so it is always

The slope factor indicates that horizontal conveying is most efficient As the upward angle increases more material will "fall back" instead of being conveyed along the upward slope The estimated conveying capacity of average materials will be reduced by 5% for a 10 degree upward angle 10% to 40% for a 20 degree angle and 20% to 70% for a 30 degree angle
