Screw conveyor can be applied in many areas, especially in the conveying of bulk and solid materials, it has a broad space for development, mainly in the following aspects: (1) In the conveying process, the conveyor volume is large, the conveying speed is high, and the equipment service life is longer. That means a single screw conveyor can transport more materials in a single time, the efficiency is significantly improved; the so-called high speed refers to the transport of more materials during the same working hours, not only reduced transportation costs, but also increased productivity; The main factor affecting the life of the screw conveyor is wear and tear, in order to extend the service life of the equipment, The friction coefficient between the material and the screw rod and other parts should be minimized, the friction force should be reduced, and then the wear resistance of the blade and helical shaft should be increased, so as to improve the service life of the screw conveyor parts.
(2)Less energy consumption at work. In addition to meeting the normal conveying requirements of the power of the screw conveyor, most of the energy output is consumed in the friction loss between the material and the screw and other components. Therefore, to reduce the friction loss of the screw conveyor can reduce the energy consumption, which is also one of the urgent problems and development direction of the spiral conveyor.
(3) Equipment intelligent development. Nowadays, the application of computer technology is mature, to apply it in the spiral conveyor, can reduce the control, manual operation and other workflows. Intelligent and programmatic management should be achieved in the handling of materials, machine installation and maintenance.
(4) The bend space structure of conveyor. The working environment of the screw conveyor is harsh, it may be difficult to convey materials in a straight line, thus developing a space-bendable conveyor, which overcomes the shortage of materials that can be transported in a straight line.
(5) To achieve green environmental protection design, to reduce the pollution of materials and external environment. At present, China's environmental protection oil requirements are high, in the spiral conveyor design process, should fully consider such as coal powder, fertilizer and other materials scattered, flying and other issues, in solving environmental protection problems, spiral conveyor still has a lot of room for development.
(6) To large-scale and complex development. In the working process of the screw conveyor, it is difficult to meet the requirements of transportation development simply by using the screw conveyor alone, and it should also be combined with other transportation equipment to improve the work efficiency and conveying capacity.
