Cement Screw Conveyors for Concrete Batching Plants

 What is a Screw Conveyor used for in Concrete Batching Mixing Plants ?

Screw conveyors are used to convey Cement or Fly Ash from almost any position (vertical, horizontal, or at an incline) and are one of the most reliable methods of conveyance. The screw conveyor is composed of a pipe with a welded steel strip that is formed into a continuous helix.

What is the maximum working angle for a screw conveyor ?

Incline Between 10 and 20-Degrees – Loss in conveying efficiency is typically between 10 and 40-percent on inclines up to 20-degrees . a screw conveyor with U-trough and 2/3-pitch screw is sufficient for most applications . Efficiency of a screw conveyor is maximum while working on a concrete batching plant is 35-40 degree. 

Material used in Screw Conveyors?

Hardened materials like metals having higher carbon content are usually used to manufacture Screw Conveyor. In Case of Concrete batching plants cement & fly ash are the main components to be conveyed.
