Screw conveyor standards include the recommended dimensional values for screw conveyors, their components, and associated parts. Additionally, screw conveyor standards include the design rules for drive power of the rotating screw, as well as the safety code for the associated hazards, particular attention being paid to the shearing or trapping points between the fixed and moving parts of the screw conveyor.
A book of accepted engineering and application practice as compiled by engineers of leading screw conveyor manufacturing companies based on the experience of many years. The book is profusely illustrated and contains much tabular data on conveyor selection and handling characteristics of the materials ordinarily handled in screw conveyors. Attention is given to horizontal, inclined, vertical and a number of special types of screw conveyors both for straight handling and for processing.
Includes 34 recommended dimensional standards (300-001 thru 300-034) for major screw conveyor components. Included are tables for troughs, trough ends and covers, screws helicoid, sectional flight, cut-flight, cut-and-folded flight, ribbon flight, plain discharge spouts. Included at no charge with orders for Book No. 350.
Lays down the recommended values of the main dimensions of the screw conveyor's elements.
Establishes a method for the calculation of drive power of screw conveyors. Applies only to a screw conveyor used in a horizontal or inclined position for a regular, controlled and continuous supply of the bulk materials, excluding the special screws for the following uses: extracting, calibrating, mixing, moistening, inclined (above 20 ) and vertical screws.
Gives examples of the kinds of hazards associated with screw conveyors at danger points, in particular trapping and shearing points located between the moving screw and the fixed parts of the conveyor or surrounding structures. Describes different safety devices, illustrated by examples of design sheets, capable of meeting the general safety requirements.
