Oil Screw Conveyor for Vegetable Oil

What is Oil Screw Conveyor for Vegetable Oil?

Oil Screw Conveyor for Vegetable Oil  is a device used to convey vegetable oil or other similar viscous liquids. This type of equipment can adapt to different conveying distances, such as short or medium distances of several meters to tens of meters within the factory. In terms of processing capacity, the specific amount depends on the size of the equipment and the nature of the material, but it can usually meet the needs of conveying several tons to tens of tons of vegetable oil per hour on the production line. The equipment usually adopts a shaft design and a tubular closed structure, and uses food-grade stainless steel to cope with the liquid properties, viscosity and hygienic requirements of vegetable oil.

What are the types of Oil Screw Conveyor for Vegetable Oil?

Oil Screw Conveyor for Vegetable Oil is mainly used to transport oil (such as oilseeds, cakes) or finished products in various links. Its types can be classified according to structure, conveying direction and application scenarios:

Tubular screw conveyor: The conveying trough is a closed circular tube, and the spiral blades rotate inside the tube. This type has good sealing, which can effectively prevent dust spillage and material contamination. It is more suitable for conveying powdered or hygienic materials, such as refined powdered products or materials that need to avoid oxidation.

Horizontal screw conveyor: It is used to convey materials on the same horizontal plane. It is the most commonly used conveying method inside the oil mill and connects various processing equipment.

Inclined screw conveyor: It is used to lift materials to a certain height, such as conveying oilseeds from the ground to the feed port of the silo or pre-treatment equipment (such as a cleaning machine, steaming and frying pan). Depending on the inclination angle and material characteristics, the spiral blades may require special design to prevent material backflow.

Shafted screw conveyor: The spiral blades are fixed on the central shaft, and the blades are driven by the rotation of the central shaft to convey the material. This is the most traditional type, with a stable structure and large conveying capacity.

Shaftless screw conveyor: The spiral blades have no central shaft and propel the material in the U-shaped groove or tube by rotating themselves. This type is particularly suitable for conveying materials that are viscous, easy to entangle, and easy to agglomerate, such as wet cake, oil sludge, etc., because it has no central shaft to hinder, is not prone to clogging, and is easy to clean.

Basic parameters of Oil Screw Conveyor for Vegetable Oil

What are the advantages of Oil Screw Conveyor for Vegetable Oil?

As a device for conveying vegetable oil, Oil Screw Conveyor for Vegetable Oil has some obvious characteristics and advantages in its structure and function. The following are the advantages of Oil Screw Conveyor for Vegetable Oil.

The shaft design can achieve relatively stable volumetric conveying, which is convenient for controlling the conveying flow. The shaft structure allows the shaft end seal (such as mechanical seal, packing seal) to be designed more rigorous and reliable.

As a liquid conveying equipment, the tubular closed structure can reduce the contact between vegetable oil and air, help slow down the oxidation process, and inhibit the emission of odor. In addition to horizontal conveying, the tubular structure can also convey materials at a certain inclination angle.

The surface of stainless steel is smooth and dense, and it is usually polished to make it difficult for vegetable oil to adhere. Stainless steel itself has good mechanical strength and wear resistance, can withstand the test of long-term operation, and extend the service life of the equipment.

Vegetable oil usually has a certain viscosity. Screw conveyors can effectively handle such viscous liquids. Compared with some pump-type equipment, their pushing mechanism is more suitable for conveying materials with poor fluidity and reducing the stagnation of materials during the conveying process.

Some vegetable oils change viscosity or solidify at a certain temperature. Oil Screw Conveyor for Vegetable Oil with heating or cooling jacket can manage the temperature of the oil during the conveying process and maintain its suitable flow state, thereby avoiding conveying obstacles caused by temperature problems.

What are the applications of Oil Screw Conveyor for Vegetable Oil?

Oil Screw Conveyor for Vegetable Oil is mainly used in occasions where vegetable oil is conveyed in a controlled manner, especially when it is necessary to handle liquid materials with a certain viscosity or specific requirements for hygiene and airtightness.

Transfer and conveying of materials: The main function of Oil Screw Conveyor for Vegetable Oil is to move vegetable oil from one point to another, such as from a storage tank to a processing or packaging area. It can also adjust the conveying direction, such as lifting horizontally moving materials at a small angle.

Maintaining a specific state of the material: For some vegetable oils that tend to thicken or solidify at a certain temperature, the device can maintain its fluidity through temperature control. This helps to avoid solidification or interruption of conveying due to temperature changes.

Handling materials with specific viscosities: The device is particularly suitable for conveying vegetable oils with relatively high viscosities. It uses the volumetric principle to effectively handle some viscous liquids that are difficult for traditional pumps to handle.

Metering and feeding of materials: The device can provide a stable and controllable flow of vegetable oil. This makes it a suitable conveying tool in production links where a specific amount of vegetable oil needs to be accurately added.

Manufacturers of Oil Screw Conveyor for Vegetable Oil

Manufacturers of Oil Screw Conveyor for Vegetable Oil can provide a variety of screw conveyor types to meet various needs in vegetable oil production, from oilseed pretreatment to cake and meal transportation. For example, for horizontal transportation of oilseeds, cake and meal or refined products, trough (U-type) or tube screw conveyors are standard configurations. They are stable in structure and easy to maintain. If the material needs to be lifted to a certain height, the manufacturer will recommend an inclined or vertical screw conveyor to ensure smooth climbing of the material. More importantly, for materials with high viscosity or easy entanglement, the manufacturer can provide shaftless screw conveyors to effectively avoid blockages, reduce cleaning frequency, and significantly improve production efficiency. In addition, manufacturers can also customize the appropriate type of screw conveyor and provide precise solutions based on specific parameters such as viscosity, humidity, abrasiveness, temperature and conveying volume of the conveyed material. Our customization capabilities are not only reflected in the structural type, but also in the material selection of spiral blades (carbon steel, stainless steel, to meet corrosion or hygiene requirements), blade form (continuous, segmented, with paddles, to adapt to the propulsion characteristics of different materials), and optimization of the drive system (to ensure stable operation even under harsh working conditions).

The Oil Screw Conveyor for Vegetable Oil provides a way to handle viscous liquid materials. Its operating principle is the physical push of the spiral blades, which allows the oil to move on demand in a closed pipe. The actual performance of the device is related to the viscosity and temperature of the vegetable oil being conveyed and the specific configuration of the conveyor (such as spiral design and drive parameters). As a mechanical device, it can adapt to specific production environment requirements, such as places where material cleanliness needs to be controlled or leaks need to be avoided.
