Screw Conveyor (Variable Speed)
Description :
The screw conveyor is one of the oldest and most versatile conveyor types. These are compact, requiring little headroom and no return mechanism. The material is also mixed as it passes through the conveyor.
Screw or helical flight conveyors consists of a steel shaft having a spiral or helical fin fastened to the shaft and rotating in a trough without touching the through, so that the helical fin pushes the material along the trough. It is fitted with a variable speed motor. Drive with a compatible reduction gearbox to run the screw conveyor at variable speed. A RPM indicator with Proximity sensor indicates the RPM of conveyor.
Experimentation:
- To study the effect of various operating parameters on conveying.
- To study the effect caused by changing the angle of inclination.
- To study the effect of RPM on efficiency of conveyor.
Utilities Required :
- Material for Feed.
- Electric Supply : Single phase, 220 V AC, 1 kW.
- Floor Area 1 m x 2 m.
