Power necessary for the progress of the material PH: For a length L of the screw conveyor (feeder), the power PH in kilo watts is the product of the mass flow rate of the material by the length L and an artificial friction coefficient , also called the progress resistance coefficient. PH = Im.L. .g / 3600 (kilowatt) = Im.L. / 367 (kilowatt)

Where, Im = Mass flow rate in t/hr = Progress resistance coefficient Each material has its own coefficient . It is generally of the order of 2 to 4. For materials like rock salt etc, the mean value of is 2.5. For gypsum, lumpy or dry fine clay, foundry sand, cement, ash, lime, large grain ordinary sand, the mean value of is 4.0. In this connection it should be noted that the sliding of the material particles against each other gives rise to internal friction. Other resistance due to grading or shape of the output discharge pattern contributes to the resistance factor. That is why the parameter is always higher than that due to pure friction. Drive power of the screw conveyor at no load, PN: This power requirement is very low and is proportional to the nominal diameter and length of the screw. PN = D.L / 20 (Kilowatt) Where, D = Nominal diameter of screw in meter L = Length of screw conveyor in meter Power due to inclination: Pst This power requirement will be the product of the mass flow rate by the height H and the acceleration due to gravity g. Pst = Im.H.g / 3600 = Im.H / 367 H should be taken positive for ascending screws and will be negative for descending screws. Total power requirement: The total power requirement is the sum total of the above items P = (Im (.L + H) / 367) + (D.L /20) (Kilowatt)

The size of screw conveyor depends on two factors 1. The capacity of the conveyor

2. The lump size of the material to be conveyed (Maximum dimensions of the particle) Usually there are three ranges of lump sizes which are considered for selection of screw size. These are:
A mixture of lumps and fines in which not more than 10% are lumps ranging from maximum size to one half of the maximum, and 90% are lumps smaller than one half of the maximum size. A mixture of lump and fines in which not more than 25% are lumps ranging from the maximum size to one half of the maximum, and 75% are lumps smaller than one half of the maximum size.

 A mixture of lump only in which 95% or more are lumps ranging from maximum size to one half of the maximum size and 5% or less are lumps less than one tenth of the maximum size.

Stats

The allowable size of a lump in a screw conveyor is a function of the radial clearance between the outside diameter of the central pipe and the radius of the inside of the screw trough, as well as the proportion of the lumps in the mixture. The lump size of the material affects the selection of screw diameter which should be at least 12 times larger than the lump size of a sized material and four times larger than the largest lumps of an un-sized material. Example, if screw diameter is 250mm means radial clearance is 105mm, & Maximum lump size is 60mm of 10% lumps. Capacity of Screw Conveyor:

The capacity of a screw conveyor depends on the screw diameter, screw pitch, speed of the screw and the loading efficiency of the cross sectional area of the screw. The capacity of a screw conveyor with a continuous screw: Q = V. Q = 60. (/4).D2.S.n...C Where, Q = capacity of a screw conveyor V = Volumetric capacity in m3/Hr = Bulk density of the material, kg/m3 D = Nominal diameter of Screw in m S = Screw pitch in m N = RPM of screw = Loading efficiency of the screw C = Factor to take into account the inclination of the conveyor Screw Pitch: Commonly the screw pitch is taken equal to the diameter of the screw D. However it may range 0.75 1.0 times the diameter of the screw.

RPM of Screw: The usual range of RPM of screw is 10 to 165. It depends on the diameter of screw and the type of material (Max RPM of screw conveyor is 165) Loading efficiency: The value of loading efficiency should be taken large for materials which are free flowing and non abrasive, while for materials which are not free flowing and or abrasive in nature, the value should be taken low: = 0.12 to 0.15 for abrasive material = 0.25 to 0.3 for mildly abrasive material = 0.4 to 0.45 for non abrasive free flowing materials Inclination Factor: The inclination factor C is determined by the angle of screw conveyor with the horizontal. 0 1 5 0.9 10 0.8 15 0.7 20 0.65
