What should I pay attention to when operating a screw conveyor?

In fact, the screw conveyor and belt conveyor have a common point, that is, if the belt conveyor or screw conveyor staff in the operation, once the brains of the error, it is easy to cause the belt conveyor or screw conveyor failure.

In fact, think about it is normal, after all, whether it is a belt conveyor or screw conveyor or, or we usually drive a car, motorcycle, in fact, the essence of the machine, leaving people can not work well. So on the one hand, the good or bad machinery lies in the designer, on the other hand, the good or bad machinery lies in how the operator operates. But for the screw conveyor operator, some personnel proficiency is uneven, and even some of the old staff will inevitably appear a series of problems, in view of this article to talk about the screw conveyor should pay attention to what should be noted in the operation?
First, when conveying viscous materials must pay attention to the water content

In fact, can deal with viscous materials is one of the many advantages of the screw conveyor, but viscous materials often come with a certain amount of water content, for example, say the bottom of the river sludge. Although screw conveyors have significant advantages in handling materials with water content compared to belt conveyors that cannot convey sticky materials, this does not mean that screw conveyors can care nothing about materials with high water content. In fact, the greater the water content of the material, in the conveying process is more likely to adhere to the screw blade or conveyor wall. As the conveying process advances, the adhering material increases accordingly, resulting in a corresponding reduction in conveying capacity. If these adherents are not effectively removed, will seriously affect the transportation efficiency of the screw conveyor, so when conveying materials must pay attention to the water content of the material.

Second, pay attention to the temperature, abrasive and corrosive materials

Why pay attention to these? In fact, this problem is not only you have this kind of doubt, even if the work of several years of the old staff also have this kind of doubt in mind. Screw conveyor full body iron lump, how will be affected by the material temperature, abrasive and corrosive effects? In fact, in the high temperature, high abrasive, high corrosive environment of the pipe wall and the spiral shaft service life has a great impact, and even serious times have to replace the pipe wall. This not only makes the cost of the enterprise greatly increased, but also increases the cost of time. If there has been no measures to prevent processing, resulting in damage to the transporter, easy to cause material leakage, resulting in greater losses.

Third, the working environment of the screw conveyor

In fact, the screw conveyor and belt conveyor, is subject to the constraints of the working environment, if the working environment of the screw conveyor climate change, it will further deepen the corrosive nature of the natural climate on the screw conveyor, so try to choose a stable and well-sealed environment, but also in the beginning of the design of the screw conveyor in a timely manner and the designer of the working conditions.

Fourth, on time to check the tightness of the drive chain

In fact, there is nothing to say, but please remember that the tightness of the transmission chain and gears and gear clearance should be regularly checked and adjusted in a timely manner.

Fifth, timely cleanup of residual debris

Machine groove residual oil materials and debris, if any, should be removed immediately.

Sixth, add lubricant in time

On the timely addition of lubricating oil, I have spoken many times in the belt conveyor, in fact, the screw conveyor motor is also the same, must regularly add lubricating oil to the screw conveyor. Because if the motor lacks lubricant, it may affect the screw conveyor or burn the motor. Safety is no small matter, you must pay attention to it.
