Process engineers are responsible for the design, implementation, control, and
optimisation of industrial processes.  In this article, we’ll take a deep look at process
engineering, and discuss everything you need to know about this field. From the
basics about what process engineering is, to typical industries served by process
engineering companies, job responsibilities, tools used and much more.

Process engineering, as touched upon above, is a field that’s primarily interested in

processes – especially continuous processes within the chemical, agricultural,
petrochemical, mineral food, and pharmaceutical industries.  

Process engineering is the means by which raw materials are turned into some kind of
end product or commodity. Process engineers are responsible for designing the
processes that allow for the creation of some kind of product – as well as their
optimisation to ensure that there is minimal waste during the process, and profits are
maximised.  

To this end, process engineering is a very complex engineering specialisation. Process

engineers must create and develop product specifications, develop equipment
requirements, implement manufacturing strategies, and monitor all of the processes
they develop – to ensure maximum productivity. 

These processes vary from simple mechanical processes – such as the stamping of
metal or CNC machining of plastic components – to complex biochemical reactions,
and everything in-between. While process engineers do develop new, innovative
processes for new facilities, they are also often involved in the analysis, upgrading,
and modification/optimisation of equipment and processes that are already being used
by a company.
Process engineering is an inherently cross-departmental discipline. Process
engineers usually must work with people from every sector of the
manufacturing industry – including R&D staff, production personnel,
operations personnel, management, and even customers, in some cases.

Cement Screw Conveyor

Model: LSY
Screw Diameter: 160/200/250/300/370mm
Screw Pitch: 160/200/250/300mm
Rotating Speed: 160/200/260/300rpm
Capacity: 15~120 m³/h
Max. Conveying Distance: 25m

Introduction
Cement screw conveyor offers highly versatile and numerous solutions for cement feeding and
conveying in concrete batching plants, which usually consists of a tube containing rotating
helical screw blade coiled around a shaft, driven at one end and held at the other. The main parts
also include inlet and outlet chutes and driving device. In addition, cement screw conveyor also
widely used for granular and powdery materials at an inclination in many industries, such as
concrete mixing station, bulk material transit storage, etc.

Advantages and Features

1.Adopts continuous spiral blade made of high strength wear-resistant steel with smooth surface,
which ensures the uniformity and stability of conveying material, so as to ensure the repeatability
of the material measurement
2.The continuous spiral blade is processed with cold rolled surface hardening treatment, hardness
and wear resistance are twice higher than ordinary blade, the hardness of outer edge is up to
HB240.
3. Front and rear screw blade adopt sparse and close screw pitch, which can prevent plugging
effectively. Meanwhile, the high precision making blasé can ensure the material fully filled
with pipe casing.
4. Screw shaft with a certain interval are arranged with intermediate hanging bearings, which
makes the front and rear blade jointed break interval smaller, and maximize the material passing
flow section, thus material flow is smooth and unimpeded.

5. Simple structure, easy operation, low power consumption, flexible layout arrangement.
6. Small screw diameter with impact structure, high rotation speed which maintains large
capacity.
7. Total enclosed structure, no pollution to environment, working environment are improved.
