What is Concrete Screw Conveyor?

Concrete Screw Conveyor  is a key tool for handling various bulk materials. It is mainly responsible for materials such as cement, fly ash, mineral powder, sand and gravel aggregates, and semi-dry concrete. This equipment has many advantages in the material transportation process, such as its compact structure, which can adapt to relatively limited installation space; good sealing, which helps to reduce dust in the working environment and reduce material loss during transportation; at the same time, its transportation process is relatively stable, which helps to maintain the uniformity of the material. This type of equipment has different levels of processing capacity, which can meet the needs from precise supply of small amounts of materials to continuous large-scale material transfer. The conveying distance of a single machine is usually within a few dozen meters, which can be adjusted and deployed according to the actual situation on site.

What are the advantages of Concrete Screw Conveyor?

Concrete Screw Conveyor has many advantages due to its unique design and operation mode. It is different from traditional belt conveyors or pumping equipment, and can push materials forward in a specific way in a relatively closed environment. It has the following main advantages:

Compact structure and small footprint: Concrete Screw Conveyor adopts tubular or U-shaped trough body, which contains spiral blades inside, and the overall structure is relatively compact. This allows it to be flexibly arranged on construction sites or production lines with limited space, effectively saving valuable working space.

Good sealing and reduced dust: The tubular screw conveyor is a fully enclosed design, which can effectively prevent concrete dust from flying during transportation. At the same time, the closed conveying avoids the scattering and loss of materials during transportation, ensuring the integrity and transportation efficiency of the materials.

Stable transportation, materials are not easy to segregate: The screw conveyor pushes the concrete through the continuous rotation of the spiral blades, and the conveying process is smooth. This conveying method helps to reduce the segregation phenomenon that may occur during the conveying process of concrete and maintain the uniformity of concrete.

Multi-angle conveying can be achieved: In addition to horizontal conveying, Concrete Screw Conveyor can also be conveyed at an angle. This allows it to adapt to construction needs of different heights and spatial layouts, such as conveying concrete from the ground to a mixing plant or a high pouring point, increasing the versatility of the equipment.

Suitable for various forms of concrete and related materials: Concrete Screw Conveyor is not only suitable for dry powdered cement, sand and gravel aggregates, but also commonly used to convey materials with poor fluidity such as semi-dry hard concrete. The special design of its spiral blades can effectively push such materials and avoid blockage.

Parameters of Concrete Screw Conveyor

What is the price of Concrete Screw Conveyor?

The price of Concrete Screw Conveyor is a relatively wide range because it is significantly affected by many factors. Generally speaking, its price may range from US$200 to US$8,000, or even higher, depending on its specifications and configuration. The price of Concrete Screw Conveyor is affected by many factors. First of all, the model and specifications are the key to determining the price, including the screw diameter (the larger the diameter, the stronger the conveying capacity and the higher the price), the conveying length (the longer the equipment, the higher the cost) and the conveying angle (vertical or large-angle conveyors are usually more expensive than horizontal models due to their more complex structures). Secondly, the material selection is also directly related to the cost. Standard equipment mostly uses carbon steel, which is relatively cheap. If you need to improve wear resistance or cope with special applications, the selection of stainless steel or wear-resistant materials will significantly increase the investment. In addition, the configuration of the drive system also affects the price. The larger the motor power or the choice of a well-known brand and high-efficiency reducer, the higher the cost. The complexity of the automation and control system is also a consideration. From basic start-stop functions to advanced configurations such as variable frequency speed regulation and remote control, there will be price differences. Finally, customized requirements also push up prices. For example, special inlet and outlet designs, structures that are easy to clean and maintain, or equipment that meets special environmental requirements such as explosion-proof and high temperature resistance all require additional design and manufacturing costs.

What are the applications of Concrete Screw Conveyor?

As a material conveying equipment, Concrete Screw Conveyor has a wide range of application scenarios, spanning the needs of bulk material conveying in multiple industrial fields. Its core function is to stably transfer various powdered, granular and semi-fluid materials, especially when handling cement, sand, fly ash, mineral powder and other components closely related to building materials, it shows unique advantages. This type of conveyor is often used for the precise supply of raw materials. Whether it is conveying bulk cement and fly ash from large silos to metering equipment, or conveying fine aggregates from storage tanks to mixing machinery, screw conveyors can ensure the continuous and controllable supply of materials, laying the foundation for subsequent production or construction links. Secondly, it plays an important role in the transfer and distribution of materials. In the production process, Concrete Screw Conveyor can transport mixed dry powder or semi-finished materials from one process point to the next processing equipment. For example, conveying pre-mixed dry mortar to the packaging area, or transferring fresh concrete from the mixer to the forming mold, its airtightness effectively prevents dust or spillage of materials during the transfer process, improving the cleanliness of the working environment. In addition, the equipment is also suitable for the lifting of specific materials. When the production line needs to transport materials from the lower ground to the storage tank or processing equipment at a higher position, the inclined or vertical Concrete Screw Conveyor can achieve efficient vertical or large-angle transportation, effectively utilize space and simplify material flow lines. In some links that require precise batching or have strict requirements on material uniformity, the screw conveyor can maintain the uniformity of the material to a certain extent and reduce the occurrence of segregation through its unique conveying method.

Concrete Screw Conveyor Cases

Concrete Screw Conveyor is widely used in construction, building materials and related industries. It is mainly used to transport various forms of concrete materials and bulk raw materials such as cement, fly ash, mineral powder, sand and gravel aggregates. In a concrete mixing plant, the screw conveyor is an important link between each material silo and the mixing host. For example, the bulk cement in the silo is accurately transported to the metering hopper or mixer. In some cases, especially for fine aggregates (such as sand), the screw conveyor can also be used to transport from the silo to the batching system. In ready-mixed concrete plants, screw conveyors are used to transfer fresh concrete, especially in precast concrete production. They can transport fresh concrete from forced mixers to various molds. Compared with belt conveyors, they can better prevent concrete from segregation during transportation and maintain the uniformity of materials. In addition, screw conveyors are also widely used in dry mortar production. Convey various dry powdered raw materials such as cement, sand, additives, etc. from their respective silos to mixers for proportioning and mixing. Convey the mixed dry mortar to packaging machines or bulk tanks. In certain links of construction waste recycling and treatment, screw conveyors can be used to transport separated fine aggregates or powdered waste. For some concrete with special formulas, poor fluidity or specific requirements for the conveying process, screw conveyors can provide a more stable conveying method. In general, Concrete Screw Conveyor has become a reliable choice for handling cement, fly ash, and various dry powder and semi-dry hard concrete materials due to its good airtightness, stable conveying, and compact structure.

Concrete Screw Conveyor has become an indispensable equipment in construction and related fields due to its inherent characteristics in material transportation. It can complete the transfer task of powder, granular and some semi-fluid materials in a relatively controlled environment. The selection and configuration of the equipment needs to be determined based on the specific material characteristics, the required conveying volume, the spatial conditions on site and the requirements for material uniformity. By selecting the appropriate screw diameter, length, material and drive mode, this type of conveyor can be reliably integrated into the existing production process or construction plan to provide a stable material conveying path.
