Screw elevator
Corn flaking spiral elevator has the following advantages:
- Good sealing: The sealing design can effectively prevent the leakage of corn dust and avoid pollution to the working environment, while also reducing the loss of materials during transportation.
- Corn flaking spiral elevator can improve efficiency: the rotation of spiral blades pushes the corn upward, and a large amount of corn can be transported per unit time, which can meet the production needs of corn processing or storage companies of different sizes.
- Strong adaptability: The corn flake spiral elevator can adjust the speed, pitch and other parameters of the spiral elevator according to the characteristics of corn and transportation requirements. It is suitable for conveying corn with different humidity and particle size, and can adapt to inclined or vertical conveying conditions to a certain extent.
- Compact structure: The corn flaking spiral elevator occupies a small area and is easy to install. It can be flexibly arranged in different places such as production workshops or warehouses, which can effectively save space and is convenient for use with other production equipment.
- Stable operation: The mechanical structure of the corn flaking spiral elevator is relatively simple, with fewer transmission parts. It has high stability and reliability during operation, reduces the failure rate, has low maintenance costs, and can ensure the continuity of the corn conveying process.
Working principle of corn flake spiral elevator
The rotation of the spiral blades pushes the corn material upward along the spiral line. Due to its own weight and the friction resistance of the casing, the material does not rotate with the spiral blades, thereby achieving the lifting and transportation of the corn.
The structure of the corn flake spiral elevator
- Screw shaft: It is the core component of the corn flaking screw elevator. It is welded with spiral blades and is responsible for driving the material to move.
- Spiral blades: usually have solid surface type, belt surface type, blade surface type, etc., and are selected according to the characteristics of the conveying material and the conveying requirements.
- Driving device: generally composed of a motor, a reducer, etc., providing power for the rotation of the screw shaft.
- Bearings: including head bearing, tail bearing and intermediate suspension bearing, used to support the screw shaft and ensure its stable rotation.
- Casing: Made of seamless steel pipe, the ends are connected to each other through flanges to protect internal components and prevent material leakage.
Product features of corn flaking spiral elevator
- Good sealing: The outer shell is made of seamless steel pipe and flange connection, which can effectively prevent corn dust leakage and keep the working environment clean.
- High conveying efficiency: The appropriate speed and pitch can be selected according to the needs to transport a large amount of corn in a unit time to meet production needs.
- Strong adaptability: It can adapt to corns with different moisture and particle sizes, and can be transported horizontally, inclined or vertically over short distances.
- Easy installation and maintenance: The screw shaft is connected to the hanging bearing, head and tail shafts using an embedded tongue type, which can be installed and disassembled without axial movement, making maintenance simple.
- Compact structure: It occupies a small area and can be flexibly arranged in different locations of the corn flake production workshop to save space.
Technical parameters of corn flake spiral elevator
- Delivery capacity: Common models include TL14 with a diameter of 140mm and a delivery capacity of 4-8m³/h; TL16 with a diameter of 160mm and a delivery capacity of 6-10m³/h; TL22 with a diameter of 220mm and a delivery capacity of 12-16m³/h.
- Power: The power per meter is between 0.5-1.5KW, such as TL14 is 0.5KW/m, TL16 is 0.75KW/m, and TL22 is 1.5KW/m.
- Pipe diameter: There are many specifications such as 140mm, 160mm, 220mm, etc., and other special sizes can be customized according to user needs.
Corn flaking spiral elevator application areas
It is mainly used in corn flaking production lines for conveying raw corn, lifting corn after cleaning, transferring corn after soaking, and conveying corn flakes after flaking. It can also be used for conveying powdery, granular and small block materials in other grain, feed, chemical and other industries.
