Screw & Auger Conveyor Equipment for Dust Collector
Review
Description
Description
A screw conveyor is a key component in a dust collector system, designed to efficiently transport collected dust, bulk powders, and fine particles. It features a rotating helical screw blade inside a tubular or trough-shaped housing, ensuring smooth and controlled material flow. The dust collector screw conveyor helps automate dust disposal, reducing manual handling and maintaining system efficiency. Made from durable materials like stainless steel, it withstands abrasive and high-temperature environments. This conveyor is widely used in industries such as woodworking, metalworking, and cement production. By integrating a screw conveyor into a dust collector, facilities can achieve continuous dust management, improved air quality, and minimal system downtime.
Key Components
>Helical Screw (Auger) – The rotating blade that moves material along the conveyor; available in different designs such as solid, ribbon, or shaftless.
>Trough or Tubular Casing – Encloses the screw to contain and guide material flow; can be U-shaped, V-shaped, or fully enclosed.
>Drive System – Consists of an electric motor, gearbox, and coupling, providing the necessary power for screw rotation.
>Shaft – Connects the screw to the drive system, transmitting rotational force.
>Bearings – Support the shaft and screw, ensuring smooth operation and reducing wear.
>End Seals – Prevent dust and material leakage at both ends of the conveyor.
>Inlet & Outlet Openings – Designed for controlled material entry and discharge; typically integrated with dust collectors or hoppers.
>Hangers & Supports – Structural components that provide stability and alignment, especially for long conveyors.
>Inspection Ports (Optional) – Allow easy access for maintenance and cleaning.
