Screw Conveyor

Capacity Required : 40 tph

Distance : 3 mtrs

Density given: 1.8 T/M^3.

RPM required : 20 rpm

Q = 15 x pi x CS area x Pitch x rpm x loading efficiency x density x inclination factor.

= 15 x 3.142 x .42 x .42 x .42 x 20 x 0.32 x 1.8 x 1 tph

Q = 40.225 tph.

where
loading efficiency, 0.32 for free floe & mildly abrasive material.

Inclination factor, 1 for 0 deg inclination.

Hence we took 420 mm screw dia with 420 mm pitch. And Shaft 6 “ pipe.

Power calculation

N = QL x Wo / (367 x gear reducer efficiency) kW for 0 deg inclination.

= 40 x 3 x 4 / (367 x .85)

= 1.54 kW.

So N = 2.05 hp.
