Reduce failures of screw conveyorin cement sand dry mix plant


There are many equipments in dry mortar production line. Materials from raw materials silo of the mixing production line to the end produt silo. Among them, the  screw conveyor is normally used in material transportation in dry powder cement sand dry mix bagged mortar mixer machine plant

High maintenance frequency of screw conveyor is particularly important. Conventional maintenance is mainly for the screw conveyor bearings regularly filled with lubricating oil. The common fault of screw conveyor is material blockage. Slight blockage will affect the production capacity and increase the power consumption. In case of serious blockage, the motor may even be burnt out and the screw shaft will be broken, which will directly affect the daily production. There are many reasons for screw conveyor blockage. The following methods can effectively reduce the failure rate of screw conveyor.

Methods to reduce the failure rate of screw conveyor.

1. Reasonable selection of technical parameters of screw conveyor, such as slow screw conveyor speed should not be too large;

2. Strictly carry out the operation procedures to start and stop without load to ensure continuous and even feeding;

3. Increase the discharge port or lengthen the end of the chute to solve the problem of poor discharging or too late discharging. At the same time, a small section of counter rotating blade can be installed at the end of the discharge channel to prevent the end from blocking;

4. The materials entering the conveyor should be cleaned to prevent large impurities or fibrous impurities from entering the screw conveyor and causing blockage;

5. Reduce the transverse size of the middle suspension bearing as far as possible to reduce the possibility of blocking when the material passes through the middle bearing;

6. An anti blocking valve is set on the cover plate of the discharge end. In case of blockage, due to the accumulation of materials, the anti blocking door is opened and the power is cut off through the travel switch.

The work of dry mortar production line can not do without the cooperation of screw conveyor. No matter any part of the whole production equipment, we must do a good job of regular inspection and maintenance to ensure the normal work of all parts, so as to ensure that the equipment can produce more products and ensure the output.
