Design Steps Step 5 - Determine Size of Components |
 |
| To
properly select the screw conveyor components for a particular duty, they are broken down
into three component groups. These groups relate both to the material classification code
and to the screw size, pipe size, type of bearings and trough thickness. The following service tables are a guide to proper selection of the appropriate component group for the material being conveyed. Other componentsare then selected from the Components Section of this catalog to suit the physical layout of the conveyor. The components shown in the tables below are the types most commonly used for each of the component groups shown. However, special applications and certain environments require special consideration that may not fall within the same parameters (see special materials and applications). Light Service (Groups 1A,1B,1C) Heavy Service (Groups 2A,2B,2C,2D) Extra Heavy Service (Groups 3A,3B,3D) |
