How to solve the blockage problem of the screw conveyor?

 The common malfunction of screw conveyors during use is material blockage, which can delay time. Today, we will explore how to solve the problem of material blockage in screw conveyors.

 
 
1、 If the feeding is not uniform, the screw conveyor must be fed evenly during use, and the feeding speed should not exceed the conveyor's carrying capacity.
 
Solution: Evenly feed or install a vibrating feeder.
 
 
2、 Not considering the conveying materials, conveying volume, conveyor speed, motor power, etc. If the selected conveyor and the materials to be conveyed do not match the achieved effect, it is also easy to cause material blockage problems in the conveyor.
 
Solution: Choose the conveying capacity, conveyor speed, motor power, etc. that match the conveyed materials.
 
3、 Failure to clean impurities in a timely manner after conveying materials can also lead to blockage caused by residual large impurities or fiber impurities if the screw conveyor is not cleaned properly after use.
 
Solution: To reduce the occurrence of material blockage, the interior of the machine should be cleaned in a timely manner after the conveying of materials.
 
 
4、 The lateral dimension of the bearings is too long, and if the lateral dimension of the conveyor bearings is too long, it is very easy to cause material blockage problems.
 
Solution: To reduce the occurrence of material blockage faults, the horizontal size of the suspension bearing should be minimized as much as possible.
 
 
In addition to the above methods, silo level sensors and blockage sensors can also be installed to achieve automatic control and alarm; Increasing the discharge port or lengthening the end of the material groove can effectively solve the problem of poor discharge, and a small section of counter rotating blades can also be installed at the end of the discharge port material groove. These can effectively prevent material blockage at the end.
