Shnekovy conveyor (also known asscrew conveyor or auger) is a type of conveyor that uses a helical screw to move materials along its length. Screw conveyors are widely used in various industries, including agriculture, food industry, construction, chemical industry and others.
The main components of the screw conveyor include: (//tractor-service.com)
Screw: The main part of the screw conveyor is the screw, which is shaped like a cog or a spiral. This auger turns and rotates, moving the material along the conveyor. The screw auger can have different forms (for example, straight, one-level or two-level), depending on the need and specific working conditions.
Frame construction: The screw conveyor frame serves to support and fix the screw and other components. It can be made of steel or other strong materials that provide the necessary strength and stability of the conveyor.
Drive: The drive is responsible for the rotation of the screw auger. It can be an electric motor, a hydraulic mechanism or another device that provides the necessary power for the movement of the auger. The drive can be located at one of the ends of the screw conveyor.
