With the help of inclined conveyors, you can save space, compared to horizontal screw conveyors with the same length, inclined conveyors take up much less space. Mobile screw conveyors have a collapsible design, they can be disassembled and transported to another place of work. All parts of the screw unit consist of separate parts, all these parts are connected to each other by flange connections. This allows you to change the length of the conveyor. The use of screw conveyors made of stainless steel in the food industry eliminates the possibility of oxidation of food products.

Principle of operation of a screw conveyor

The conveyor with the screw mechanism works as follows:

· loose material enters the storage hopper or directly into the inlet pipe;

· the rotating blades of the screw capture portions of the load and push it towards the outlet;

· upon reaching the outlet, the load leaves the mechanism through it.

The screw is driven by a drive device consisting of an electric motor and a transmission. On some models intended for work in places where there is no electricity supply, the conveyor can be equipped with an internal combustion engine. The transmission is a belt transmission or gear reducer.

The screw conveyor can be equipped with an electronic control system, the sensors of which monitor the level of the product in the output storage and control the speed of rotation of the electric motor and the conveyor screw, maintaining the level within the set values.
