Application of Cement Silo Screw Conveyor in Industry

Cement silo screw conveyor, as a conveyor equipment, is widely used in the cement station, it is mainly used for conveying powdery or granular materials, such as lime, cement, sand, etc. and is suitable for transport of low water content, non sticky material.
Cement silo screw conveyor is mainly through the rotation of the spiral blade to make the material be forward, so that the material can be delivered to the designated location. Cement silo screw conveyor working principle is as following: The gravity of the material and the friction force generated by the tank wall make that the material can only be pushed down at the bottom of the conveyor to move forward along the bottom of the conveyor. Therefore, the material in the conveyor transport, is completely a slip movement.
Cement silo screw conveyor generally drive device and discharge port placed at the same end of the conveyor, and the feed port as far as possible in the other end near the tail. The rotating spiral blade passes through the material, so that the material does not rotate with the screw conveyor blade. The force is the material self weight and the friction resistance of the material.
The characteristics of the screw conveyor is reliable, low manufacturing cost, low maintenance cost, simple structure, small cross-section, good sealing, easy between loading and unloading, conveying direction can reverse, but also in the opposite direction of the two conveyor. Can be discharged at both ends can also be unloaded.
During the transportation of the cement silo screw conveyor, the material can be stirred, mixed, heated and cooled. Through the loading and unloading gate we can adjust the material flow. But it is not easy to transport perishable, viscous, easy to agglomerate and bulk materials.
