The water content and viscosity of sludge are two important factors affecting the selection of
screw conveyors.
For sludge with high water content, it is necessary to choose a screw conveyor that can effectively discharge water. Usually, you can choose a screw conveyor with a drain, or install a steam spray device at the feed end of the conveyor to evaporate the water in the sludge by steam heating, thereby improving the conveying efficiency.
For sludge with high viscosity, it is necessary to select the screw blade of the screw conveyor with a large gap and inclination angle to effectively discharge the sludge during transportation. In addition, it is also necessary to select a motor with high torque output and strong driving capacity to ensure that the conveyor can operate normally when conveying sludge with a high viscosity.
Therefore, when choosing a screw conveyor, factors such as the water content and viscosity of the sludge need to be fully considered to select a suitable conveyor model and configuration. At the same time, the screw conveyor needs to be cleaned and maintained regularly to ensure its normal operation and prolong its service life.
