What is a Customized Screw Conveyor?
A custom screw conveyor refers to a non-standard conveying system specifically designed and manufactured based on user-provided parameters, such as the type and granularity of the conveyed material, conveying distance, inclination angle, installation space, corrosion resistance requirements, etc. It is widely used in industries such as construction materials, concrete, chemicals, metallurgy, grain, environmental protection, and mining.
Application Scenarios for Customization
1. Limited On-Site Space
For curved conveying or combined horizontal and inclined installation.
2. Special Material Characteristics
For materials with high abrasiveness (e.g., mineral powder), strong corrosiveness (e.g., chemical powders), or that are prone to moisture absorption and caking (e.g., fly ash).
3. Unique Conveying Requirements
For ultra-long distances, large volumes, or low-speed gentle conveying.
4. Special Functional Requirements
Integration of functions such as heating, cooling, mixing, metering, or stirring.
5. Extreme Environmental Conditions
For high-temperature, high-humidity, outdoor, or coastal anti-corrosion applications.
Optional Structural Designs
1. Screw Blade Types
Solid Shaft with Blades: Suitable for most general powders.
Shaftless Screw: Ideal for sticky or entangling materials.
Wear-Resistant Hard Alloy Blades: Enhances durability for conveying ores or stone powder.
2. Casing Design
Tubular Casing: Excellent sealing, dustproof and leakproof.
U-Shaped Casing: Convenient for observation and maintenance.
3. Multiple Inlet and Outlet Structures
Supports multiple inlets/outlets.
Can be equipped with electrically actuated butterfly valves, pneumatic slide gates, rotary valves, and other automated control devices.
Customization Process
1. Customer Requirements Survey
Identify material characteristics (particle size, density, flowability, moisture content, etc.).
Determine conveying distance, height, and site layout.
Confirm any special requirements such as corrosion resistance, wear resistance, or explosion protection.
2. Technical Solution Design
Provide preliminary structural drawings, model selection, and performance parameters.
For system integration projects, ensure compatibility with upstream equipment interfaces.
3. Contract Signing and Drawing Confirmation
Define delivery schedule and warranty coverage.
Final engineering drawings must be confirmed by the customer before custom manufacturing begins.
4. Equipment Manufacturing and Testing
Strict quality control throughout the production process.
Conduct no-load or simulated load trial runs before delivery.
5. Installation and Commissioning
Provide installation manuals or on-site technical guidance.
Support integrated commissioning with batching plants and other related equipment.
Advantages of Customization
High Adaptability: Tailored to on-site conditions, offering greater efficiency.
Safe and Environmentally Friendly: Excellent sealing reduces dust pollution and material waste.
Strong Integration Capability: Seamlessly interfaces with batching plants, metering systems, and other equipment.
Easy Maintenance: Reasonable space reserved for maintenance, making inspection and servicing convenient.
High Cost-Effectiveness: One-time investment with long-term stable operation lowers overall operating costs.
Usage and Maintenance Recommendations
Before each shift, check whether the screw blades and shaft are jammed and ensure bearings are well-lubricated.
Strictly prohibit running without material or prolonged overload operation.
Regularly clean material buildup inside the casing to prevent clogging and material deterioration.
For special powders (e.g., cement, mineral powder), avoid moisture absorption and caking; inspect and repair sealing parts in time.
Replace motor and gearbox lubricants periodically as specified.
Typical Application Cases
Construction Industry: Custom Φ273×8m dual-outlet screw conveyor for simultaneous feeding to two powder silos.
Chemical Industry: 304 stainless steel screw conveyor with anti-corrosion coating for transporting corrosive chloride powders.
Grain Industry: U-shaped screw conveyor with hydraulic discharge valves for precise multi-point distribution.
