Essential Design Elements for Auger Screw Conveyors
When designing a screw conveyor, there are several important elements to consider: Capacity. To determine the appropriate screw diameter, calculate the volume per hour that the screw conveyor will need to transport. Design and drive. Given the range of different screw designs, the design must consider the ultimate goal of the conveyor.
