This page explains how Feeding Screw/Conveyor is classified within Machinery and Equipment Manufacturing. Technical values and manufacturer relationships are research references; confirm the current specification and supplier evidence for each order.
A mechanical component that transports bulk materials from a hopper or storage area into a processing system using a rotating helical screw or conveyor mechanism.
Technical details and manufacturing context for Feeding Screw/Conveyor
| Parameter | Typical range | Notes & selection driver |
|---|---|---|
| Screw Diameter | 100–500 mm | Determines throughput and particle size compatibility. |
| Screw Length | 1000–6000 mm | Affects conveying distance and residence time. |
| Pitch | 80–400 mm | Influences conveying speed and fill rate. |
| Conveying Capacity | 5–100 m³/h | Matches required production throughput. |
| Screw Speed | 10–120 rpm | Higher speed increases capacity but may cause wear. |
| Operating Temperature | -20–150 °C | Material properties degrade beyond this range. |
| Material Hardness | 45–62 HRC | Higher hardness improves wear resistance. |
| Surface Roughness | Ra 0.8–3.2 µm | Smoother finish reduces material buildup. |
| Drive Power | 2.2–30 kW | Depends on material density and screw length. |
| Weight | 200–3000 kg | Affects installation and structural support. |
| Ingress Protection | IP54–IP65 | IP65 for dusty or washdown environments.IEC 60529 |

Manufacturer profiles associated with Feeding Screw/Conveyor.
Manufacturer listings support early research and capability understanding. They are not certification, ranking, or transaction guarantees.
A practical evidence checklist for RFQ preparation and supplier evaluation.
CNFX does not score or rank suppliers. Buyers must verify all claims and documents with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
The feeding screw/conveyor is designed for bulk materials such as powders, granules, and other free-flowing substances. The specific material compatibility depends on the screw design and material of construction, which can include stainless steel, carbon steel, or food-grade plastic. Always verify with the manufacturer for the intended material.
The feed rate is determined by the screw pitch, diameter, and rotation speed. Variable speed drives can be used to adjust the rotation speed for precise flow control. The conveying capacity range is typically 5 to 100 m³/h, but the actual rate must be confirmed for the specific model and application.
The operating temperature range is -20 to 150°C. Exceeding this range may degrade material properties or affect the component's performance. Verify the temperature limits with the manufacturer for your specific process conditions.
The ingress protection rating can be IP54 to IP65, as per IEC 60529. IP65 is suitable for dusty or washdown environments. Confirm the required rating for your installation environment with the supplier.
