The screw conveyor has the following characteristics

 The screw conveyor has the following characteristics

1) The structure is relatively simple and the cost is low.

2) Reliable operation and easy maintenance and management.

3) Compact size, small cross-section size and small floor space. It is easy to enter and exit hatches and carriages during truck and ship unloading operations at the port.

4) It can achieve sealed transportation, which is beneficial to transporting materials that are easy to fly, hot and have strong odors, which can reduce environmental pollution and improve the working conditions of port workers.

5) Easy to load and unload. The horizontal screw conveyor can be loaded and unloaded at any point on its conveying line; the vertical screw conveyor equipped with a relatively spiral reclaiming device can have excellent reclaiming performance.

6) It can transport materials in reverse direction, and it can also make one conveyor transport materials in two directions at the same time, that is, toward the center or away from the center.

7) The unit energy consumption is large.

8) Materials are prone to grinding and wear during transportation, and the wear of spiral blades and troughs is also serious.
