Shaftless Screw Conveyor
Model SSC
Shaftless Screw Conveyors, Model SSC
Model SSC are a type of material handling equipment used to move bulk materials horizontally or at an inclination. Unlike traditional screw conveyors, shaftless spiral conveyors do not have a central shaft running through the middle of the spiral, which offers several advantages. These conveyors usually find their application for conveying most of the hygroscopic and difficult materials with high discharge rates. The design is well-suited for handling materials in environmentally sensitive applications, such as handling sludge or other materials in wastewater treatment plants.Here are some key features and benefits of shaftless spiral conveyors
Design
The screws are housed within a trough or casing that contains the material being fed. This trough can be opened or closed, depending on the specific requirements of the application.
Material Construction
Can be offered both in mild steel and stainless-steel construction.
Screw Design
No central shaft: The absence of a central shaft eliminates the risk of material buildup and blockages around the shaft, making these conveyors suitable for handling sticky or viscous materials.
Versatility
The shaftless design allows for a larger carrying capacity, as there is more space for bulk materials within the spiral. This makes them ideal for applications where high-capacity transport is required.- Shaftless spiral conveyors are versatile and can be used for various applications, such as wastewater treatment, industrial processes, food processing, and more.
Drive Options
Motor Types: Screw conveyors can be powered by various types of electric motor configurations. The choice of motor depends on factors such as the required capacity, speed, and the nature of the materials being conveyed.
Inlet and Outlet Options
Generally, these conveyors can be manufactured for customized inlet and outlet options.
Reduced Wear and Tear
Since there is no central shaft to cause friction, wear and tear on the conveyor components are minimized. This can lead to a longer operational life and less frequent replacement of parts.
Maintenance and Safety
Access Points: Consider designs that facilitate easy access for maintenance and cleaning.
Low Maintenance: The design simplifies maintenance by reducing the likelihood of material buildup and the associated wear and tear. This results in lower maintenance costs and increased reliability.
Safety Features: Incorporate safety features such as guards and emergency stops to ensure safe operation.
Capacity and Power Requirements
Capacity: The conveyor’s capacity is influenced by factors like the screw diameter, pitch, and rotational speed.
Power Requirements: The power needed to drive the conveyor depends on factors such as the material’s characteristics and the conveyor’s design parameters.
