Screw feeder
- Simple and compact structure: The corn flake screw feeder is composed of main components such as screw shaft, material trough, drive device, etc. It has a relatively simple structure, occupies a small space, is easy to install and maintain, and is suitable for use in places with limited space such as corn flake production workshops.
- Good sealing: The trough of the corn flaking spiral feeder is usually closed, which can effectively prevent the dust from flying during the transportation of corn raw materials, avoid raw material leakage and environmental pollution, and also reduce the contact between the material and the outside air, preventing the material from moisture and oxidation, etc.
- Uniform and stable conveying: The corn flake spiral feeder pushes the material forward through the rotation of the spiral blades, which can achieve uniform and stable feeding, helping to ensure the continuity and stability of raw material supply during the corn flake production process, thereby improving the consistency of product quality.
- Can convey a variety of materials: The corn flake production process may involve materials in different forms such as corn particles, corn flour, and various auxiliary materials added. The spiral feeder has good adaptability to these materials and can meet the conveying needs of different materials.
- Easy operation and maintenance: The operation of the corn flake spiral feeder is relatively simple. Usually, the feeding amount can be adjusted by controlling the start and stop and speed of the drive motor. In addition, its structure is simple, with fewer parts, and maintenance work is relatively easy, which reduces the maintenance cost and downtime of the equipment.
Structural composition
The corn flake screw feeder is mainly composed of a drive device, a machine casing, a screw shaft, a screw blade, a feed port, a discharge port, etc. The screw shaft is welded with a screw blade, and the blade shapes include full blade type, belt blade type, paddle blade type, tooth type, etc. The full blade type is suitable for conveying dry granular or powdery materials, the paddle blade type can simultaneously convey and mix materials, the belt blade type is suitable for sticky or block materials, and the tooth type has the advantages of both the belt type and the blade type.
How it works
The corn flake screw feeder relies on the rotation of the spiral blades to push the corn material along the spiral axis to achieve the lifting and conveying of the material. The rotating spiral blades push the material, and the force that prevents the material from rotating with the spiral blades is the material's own weight and the friction resistance of the spiral machine casing to the material.
Corn flake screw feeder performance parameters
Common models include LY-140, LY-160, LY-200, etc. Taking the LY series as an example, the conveying capacity of LY-140 is 0.8-1m³/h and the power is 2.2kW; the conveying capacity of LY-160 is 1.5-2m³/h and the power is 3kW; the conveying capacity of LY-200 is 4-6m³/h and the power is 5.5kW, etc. The diameter of the spiral feeder is 140mm, 165mm, 219mm, 273mm and other specifications, and the length can be customized between 1-15 meters according to needs.
