The screw conveyor is a device used to transport materials from the inlet to the outlet, and the material is conveyed by the thrust generated by the rotation of the screw blade.
The screw conveyor is mainly suitable for the transportation of powdery, small and non-wet materials, such as cement, lime, mineral powder, bricks, fertilizers, corn, rice bran and other granular or powdery materials.

7 major solutions to the blockage of the screw conveyor
Screw conveyors are sensitive to material due to the small space in which materials are transported, and material tangling can occur when the screw rotates.
Material can get clogged in the intermediate suspended bearing, making clogging a common problem in screw conveyors. Mild blockages can affect yield and increase power consumption, but severe blockages can burn out the motor and twist the screw shaft, affecting normal production.
To prevent blockages in screw conveyors, the following measures can be taken:
measure1#:reasonable technical parameters should be selected, such as reducing the rotational speed of slow-speed screw conveyors.
measure2#:strictly follow the operating procedures, and ensure that there is no load at the start and an empty stop, while ensuring continuous and uniform feeding.
measure3#:increase the material outlet or lengthen the outlet of the material trough to solve the problems of poor discharge or insufficient discharging. Additionally, a short section of reverse rotary blades can be installed at the end of the outlet material trough to prevent material from blocking.
measure4#:necessary cleaning of the material entering the conveyer should be done to prevent large debris or fibrous impurities from entering the machine and causing blockages.
measure5#:reducing the transverse dimension of the intermediate suspended bearing to minimize the possibility of material blockage.
measure6#:install a material leveler and a clogging sensor to achieve automated control and warning.
measure7#:an anti-clogging valve can be installed on the discharging end cover plate. When a blockage occurs, the piled-up material can push the anti-clogging door, and the power supply can be cut off through a travel switch.
In conclusion
The screw conveyor is an important mechanical equipment. In the process of using the equipment, it is necessary to master the correct operation method, and the operator needs to observe to ensure that the material is supplied normally, and to prevent material interruption or jamming.
During the daily use of the vibrating conveyor equipment, regular maintenance is required to find faults and repairs in time to ensure safe, efficient and stable operation of the conveyor equipment.
Correct operation can ensure the stability of the equipment and prolong the life of the equipment and improve production efficiency.
