Technical Handbook For Industrial Screw Conveyors

1. GENERAL FEATURES
-Tubular screw conveyors are suited to draw, batch and handle concrete or concrete-like
materials.
-These conveyors have been developed according to all safety rules according to EC directives.
-They are available in different sizes in order to satisfy any capacity needs (139, 168, 193,
219, 273, 323)
-They are developed in big series and consist of interchangeable sectional parts being
connected one to each other by sturdy flangings to reach a total length approximately
equal to 12 - 13 metres.
-The extensions are equipped with sturdy in-between cast iron supports with plain bearing,
which is protected from wear by suitable seals as well as lubricated through special
lubricating points.
-The in-between splined bolt allows a quick coupling with the broached bushes welded at the
flight pipe end to occur creating in this way a perfectly balanced screw conveyor
movement.
-The standard flight is produced with reduced pitch at the inlet and normal pitch in the
remaining length, in order to avoid cloggings near the in-between supports and assure a
good functioning of the machine.
-The inspection doors are fixed to the screw conveyor pipe by the push of a bolt being screwed
on a bar, which levers on a protection welded on the pipe; such protection allows the door
to be fixed and hinders a water penetration in the inspection opening.
-Standard POFER reduction gear is directly splined on the flight shaft (at the inlet hatch) and is
equipped with an exclusive flanging contanining the seals.
-If the drive is mounted at the outlet, a head with an exclusive POFER sealing unit is mounted
at the inlet.
-Reduction gears are available with power from 1.1 kW to 15 kW and with reduction ratio 1/5,
1/7, 1/10, 1/15, 1/20 to meet different capacity needs.
-Only environment friendly paints are used according to the law being in force.
-A standard supply includes:
-cylindrical inlet and outlet hatches (one as inlet, one as outlet) with rubber coupling
edge;
-in-between flangings;
-inspection door under the inlet hatch and under every in-between support;
-in-between supports complete with lubricator and relevant protection;
-direct drive at the inlet;
-two lifting hooks for each screw conveyor piece;
-cable hose;
- chrome yellow RAL 1007 final painting; by request, different paintings can be carried
out;
-every conveyor is supplied with an EC declaration of compliance;
-adhesive labels indicating how to properly behave near dangerous areas.

? At the inlet the flight pitch is reduced to approximately 2/3 of the working pitch for a length
between 12 meters.
? The flight thickness is measured at approximately 2/3 of the section height from the point of
contact with the inner pipe.

The rubber coupling stop edge is obtained from hatch rolling before the hatch is welded on the screw
conveyor. In case of additional loose ordered hatches, they are always supplied with rolled edge and
rust preventing painting.

HATCHES
-Standard inlet and outlet hatches are cylindrical and have a rubber coupling edge.
-The outlet hatch cannot have a diameter being smaller than the screw conveyor one.
-No screw conveyors with dimensions being smaller than the reported ones (see table) can be
ordered, unless our technical department communicates its approval.
