| The type
of material being moved can have a significant affect on the size and type of conveyor.
The following charts will help classify your material and will help in selecting the
proper conveyor components. For screw conveyor design purposes, conveyed materials are classified in accordance with the codes system show in Table A. This system conforms to that of the Conveyor Equipment Manufacturers Association (CEMA) which ranks each material in five categories. Table B lists the codes for many materials that can be effectively conveyed by a screw conveyor. If a material is not listed in Table B, it must be classified according to Table A, or by referring to a listed material that is similar in weight, particle size and other characteristics. |
