Essential Equipment for Efficient Material Handling in Diverse Industries

Screw conveyor is a common material conveying equipment in various industrial applications, widely used in oil drilling, chemical industry, food, medicine and other industries. The main function of the screw conveyor is to move the material along the pipeline through the rotating screw blade to realize the transportation of the material from one location to another. It has the advantages of simple structure, convenient operation, low maintenance cost and high conveying efficiency. The rotation direction of the screw blade determines the delivery direction of the material, which can be forward or reverse. Screw conveyor is usually composed of driving device, screw shaft, screw blades, feeding port, discharging port and casing.

The Crucial Role of Screw Conveyors in Drilling Mud Systems

The screw conveyor is the "key hub" for the effective operation of the entire oilfield drilling mud system. Through this equipment, the drilling mud discharge system and treatment system are accurately connected, so that the mud produced by drilling can be recycled efficiently. The installation form of screw conveyor includes the ground fixed horizontal installation type, tilt installation type, can also provide the special installation type of hanging type, ground and hanging mixed fixed tilt type, mobile type and so on according to the user's different application environment requirements.

The core component of the whole screw conveyor is undoubtedly the screw blade, which is usually made of weal-resistant thickened manganese steel (Q345 (16Mn), 8mm thickness) to ensure that it has sufficient durability and long service life when conveying mud. In some cases, wear-resistant coatings can also be sprayed according to customer requirements to further extend the service life.

The Advantages of Wear-Resistant Screw Blades in Conveyors

 The shell and frame of the screw conveyor are usually made of high-strength steel to withstand the weight and pressure of the mud while maintaining the stability of the structure. As the mud may contain corrosive chemicals, corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless steel or special alloys may be required for some parts to resist corrosion and extend the service life of the equipment.

 In addition, the wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant and high-strength alloy materials used in the equipment can not only effectively reduce mechanical wear, but also availably reduce the downtime caused by equipment failure, improve the efficiency of equipment operation and save the cost of use.

 

The Expanding Role of Screw Conveyors in Modern Applications

The size recommendation of screw conveyors is usually based on factors such as type of material, conveying distance, conveying capacity and working environment. Generally speaking, the size of the common screw conveyor is 10 inches, 12 inches, 14 inches, 16 inches, the length can vary from a few meters to dozens of meters. For example, LS type screw conveyor diameter of 100mm to 1250mm a total of twelve specifications, length can reach 40m (extra 30m), and the maximum length of double drive screw conveyor can reach 80m (extra 60m).

Based on a large number of customer use data, we recommend the use of 10 "and 12" screw conveyor. Although standard size screw conveyors are available, we can provide customized services, which can adjust the size of screw conveyors according to the specific needs of customers. For example, screw conveyors of specific diameter and length can be customized according to the customer's site size, material characteristics and yield requirements to ensure optimal working efficiency and economic benefits.

The screw conveyor has become an indispensable part of the solid control system because of its efficient and reliable conveying capacity and wide applicability. It is designed and manufactured to take into account the characteristics and transportation requirements of a variety of materials, and can meet the needs of material transportation in different industries. With the continuous progress of technology, the performance and application scope of screw conveyor will be further expanded, bringing greater convenience and benefits for industrial production.
