In the modern world, the principle of an auger or a rotating screw is used everywhere. But most often, the term auger is understood as a conveyor or a conveyor, which allows moving, sifting, packing the most diverse products.
Screw conveyors have gained enormous popularity in various types of production, which in turn has led to their great variety.
Production of screws takes place taking into account production tasks, which include information about the composition of the transported product, as well as its volume, vector of transportation, dimensions and other indicators.
Types and classification of screws
There are several options for dividing screws by production type, and there is no single universal classification.
Screw conveyors are divided into several general categories:
- Movement vector: vertical, horizontal, inclined and flexible screws with an arbitrary trajectory;
- Material from which working elements are made: plastic, stainless steel, steel;
- Variant of the design of the auger itself: here with welded turns of the blade, axisless, spring auger;
- Stationary or mobile with a wheel base.
In addition, production of screws presupposes the observance of certain standards for different types of transported products. This includes: the maximum length of the working part, the diameter of the blade, the pitch of the blade, the power of the motor-reducer.
When choosing a screw conveyor, manufacturers advise to be guided by several principles:
- Dimensions: first of all, it is necessary to be sure that the screw conveyor is placed in the working space and its elements are accessible;
- Productivity. You should not take too powerful units if the load and frequency of use of the auger will be average or minimal;
- Type of production and composition of the transported production. Screws made of plastic and stainless steel are well suited for the food and chemical industry, construction materials and the movement of products of heavy industry require large powerful screws made of carbon steel;
- Maintenance, repair and configuration change. Here, it is best to choose a manufacturer that is nearby and can provide full and fast service of the equipment.
Production of screws domestic producers are recognized as competitive both in terms of quality and cost. For example, the Ukrainian manufacturer, the company "Technician» in Kyiv, offers the widest range of products for any modern type of production.
Individual design and production of screws
An individual project, taking into account the customer's production tasks and the recommendations of engineers, allows you to create the most acceptable option: economical, productive, with opportunity. in the future, increase the length, include the conveyor in the general conveyor line, optimize and automate everything as much as possible.
Recently, individual is very popular production of screws flexible - a special model that allows you to set the trajectory of transportation. Such screws can also be designed and manufactured to order from a Ukrainian manufacturer.
