Flour Inclined Screw Conveyor is a kind of inclined screw conveyor specially used for conveying flour or similar powdery materials. It is usually made of food grade materials and used for packaging, mixing and storage of flour.
The components of the flour inclined screw conveyor together constitute the structure of the flour inclined screw conveyor, which is used to efficiently convey powdered materials such as flour:
Screw: The screw is the core component of the flour inclined screw conveyor, responsible for conveying flour from one port to another.
Conveying pipeline: The conveying pipeline is the outer shell of the screw conveyor, which is used to contain and guide the flour to move along the screw axis.
Motor and transmission device: The flour inclined screw conveyor is usually equipped with a motor and a transmission device to drive the screw to rotate.
Support structure: The conveyor usually requires a support structure to be firmly mounted on the ground or other supports to ensure the stable operation of the conveyor.
Feeding port and discharge port: The flour inclined screw conveyor usually has a feeding port and a discharge port for feeding and discharging flour.
The inclination angle of the flour inclined screw conveyor is usually designed according to the specific production needs and conveying distance. Generally speaking, the inclination angle of the flour inclined screw conveyor can be between 15 degrees and 45 degrees. The specific inclination angle selection depends on the following factors:
1. Material characteristics: The fluidity and stacking characteristics of fine powder materials such as flour will affect the selection of the inclination angle. The inclination angle should ensure that the material can flow smoothly during the conveying process without accumulation or blockage.
2. Conveying distance: The distance of the conveying distance will also affect the selection of the inclination angle. Generally speaking, a longer conveying distance may require a larger inclination angle to ensure the smooth conveying of the material.
3. Production efficiency: The selection of the inclination angle should also consider production efficiency and conveying speed. The appropriate inclination angle can improve the conveying efficiency and reduce energy consumption.
The flour inclined screw conveyor pushes the flour along the inclined conveying pipe through the spiral rotation, and uses gravity and the action of the spiral to realize the conveying process. The flour enters from the feed port, is pushed along the direction of the spiral blade, and finally reaches the discharge port to complete the conveying. The inclined design helps to maintain the fluidity of the flour, reduce the risk of blockage, and improve the conveying efficiency.
Flour inclined screw conveyor is generally made of stainless steel, which meets the food processing hygiene standards. It has the following advantages:
●The motor reducer could be installed on the top or the bottom.
●Conveyor has big transport capacity, long distance available.
●Stable and controllable start, continuous and highly efficient operation.
●The conveying could be the level or the inclined.
●The blade could be entity spiral or belt spiral.
Flour inclined screw conveyor has a wide range of application scenarios in flour processing and production, including but not limited to the following aspects:
Flour production line: used to transport flour from flour storage warehouse to flour mixer, bread machine and other production equipment.
Bakery: In baking production, flour inclined screw conveyor can be used to transport flour to mixer, mixing tank and other equipment.
Food processing plant: In addition to flour, it can also be used to transport other powdered food raw materials, such as starch, powdered seasoning, etc.
Grain processing plant: In the process of grain processing, it can be used to transport flour, wheat flour and other grain products to different production links, such as mill, mixer and other equipment.
Food packaging line: used to transport flour from the production line to the packaging machine to realize the automated packaging process and improve packaging efficiency and accuracy.
