Abstract
Mechanization and automation are one of the crucial areas of interest in any industry handling materials for efficient conveying and transportation. Screw conveyor is the most efficient mechanized conveying device for free-flowing or relatively free-flowing bulk solids with a moderate capacity of 1200 ton/h. And small conveying distance less than 40 m for horizontal configuration, while in case of vertical operation lifting material up-to 15 m at a rate of 50 ton/h. The application area of the screw conveyor is agricultural grains and bulk material conveying. The objective of the research work is to compare two different values of trough height (112 and 180 mm) with various screw speed along with dry, coarse sand as conveying material and type of screw as cut flight one. Hence to draw characteristics curves of volumetric capacity and loading efficiency within a predetermined speed range.
