Screw conveyors are a common type of conveying equipment that can be used to convey a variety of materials, including powdered sugar. Here is some information about conveying powdered sugar with screw conveyors:

Design parameters: When designing a screw conveyor, several parameters need to be considered, such as the density, flow rate, humidity, particle size and viscosity of the conveyed material, etc. For fine powder materials such as powdered sugar, it is generally necessary to choose a screw conveyor with a smaller screw diameter and a larger pitch to avoid problems such as agglomeration and adhesion of powdered sugar during the conveying process.

 

Conveying method: There are usually two conveying methods of the screw conveyor: horizontal conveying and inclined conveying. For powdered sugar, because it is easy to fly and accumulate, it is generally recommended to use an inclined conveying method, that is, the screw conveyor is inclined at a certain angle to improve the stability and conveying efficiency of powdered sugar.

Conveying features: The screw conveyor has the advantages of continuous conveying, high degree of automation, long conveying distance and small footprint. At the same time, since powdered sugar is easy to absorb moisture, it is necessary to control the environmental humidity during the transportation process and take moisture-proof measures to avoid moisture absorption and deterioration of powdered sugar.

 

Maintenance: In order to ensure the normal operation of the screw conveyor and prolong its service life, regular maintenance work is required, such as cleaning, lubrication, and inspection of transmission devices. For the screw conveyor conveying powdered sugar, it is also necessary to pay attention to cleanliness and prevent foreign matter from entering the conveying system.

 

In short, the screw conveyor is a commonly used conveying equipment, which is suitable for conveying various materials such as powdered sugar. When in use, it is necessary to select appropriate design parameters and delivery methods according to the actual situation, and pay attention to controlling the ambient humidity and performing regular maintenance.
