Screw Feeders

Multi-screw configurations (1-5 screws) in horizontal/vertical arrangements for chemical industry.
Product Overview The Multi-Screw Feeder series is a highly customizable material handling solution engineered for precision dosing and bulk solid transfer in chemical manufacturing processes. Featuring modular 1-5 screw configurations with horizontal or vertical orientations, this equipment complies with GB/T 36865-2018 (Spiral Conveyor Standards) to ensure reliable operation in corrosive, abrasive, or explosive environments. Ideal for polymers, catalysts, and hygroscopic powders, it bridges the gap between batch processing and continuous production lines.

    • Shaft Assembly:
      • Type: Solid shaft (standard) or shaftless (for sticky materials).
      • Suspension: Intermediate hanger bearings (maintenance-free polymer).
  5. Performance Metrics
    • Pressure Rating: Up to 1.6 MPa (pressure-rated barrel variants).
    • Inclination Limit: 0–30° (horizontal); 60–90° (vertical).
    • Noise Level: ≤72 dB(A) at 1 m.
    • MTBF: ≥25,000 hours (corrosion-resistant components).

Design Innovations
  • Quick-Change Screws: Tool-free disassembly via split trough design.
  • Smart Lubrication: Centralized grease distribution with IoT monitoring.
  • Anti-Bridging: Integrated fluidizing decks or vibration-assisted flow.
  • Explosion Protection: Passive suppression vents + HRD isolation valves.
Typical Applications
  • Multi-component additive dosing in polymer compounding.
  • Hazardous material transfer under inert gas (N₂/Ar) blanket.
  • Precision feeding for FCC catalyst regeneration systems.
Product Positioning Positioned as a high-end solution for specialty chemical producers, this series combines GB-standardized safety with API 670 (vibration monitoring) compatibility. It serves as the backbone of Industry 4.0-ready plants requiring adaptive feeding systems.
Compliance & Standards
