Augers and spirals
Augers are used to move materials horizontally, vertically, and with slopes
A screw conveyor system or screw conveyor is one of the bulk material transfer systems that are widely used in various industries such as grain transfer etc.These systems are very suitable for transporting bulk materials in short distances due to the possibility of creating multiple inputs and outputs, while chain conveyors are recommended for long distances.
The design and optimization are one of the most important points in the construction, and the use of this type of material transfer system requires the correct, principled design that is following the working conditions.There are effective parameters in the design of screw conveyors that determine the helical pitch, rotation speed, dimensions, and material of the helical material, including the type of material to be transported, material flow, distance, and height of transmission.
With the help of numerous and specialized software today, the optimal and efficient design of spirals has become simpler; however, this process still requires special knowledge and experience.The sheet is made of carbon steel, and according to the customer’s order, it is possible to produce galvanized augers. The necessary predictions have been made for possible repairs in case of spiral failure when the silo is full.The spirals slide is pulled out from under the silo. Spiral shapes and tube screws are different types of spirals.
