What is Shaftless Screw Conveyor?

The shaftless screw conveyor is an efficient and environmentally friendly material conveying equipment, which is widely used in many industrial fields. It adopts a center shaft-free design and uses the rotation of the spiral blades to push the material along the conveying trough. This design effectively solves the problem that traditional shafted screw conveyors are prone to blockage when conveying sticky and easily entangled materials.


The working principle of the shaftless screw conveyor is to rely on the motor to drive the cycloid reducer to rotate the spiral blades, thereby pushing the material along the conveying trough. Its unique shaftless design makes material conveying smoother, reduces the risk of blockage, and improves conveying efficiency.


The equipment has many remarkable features: first, it has strong anti-winding performance, and is particularly suitable for conveying strip-shaped, viscous, and easily entangled materials; second, it has a large conveying capacity and is much more efficient than traditional shafted screw conveyors; in addition, it has a long conveying distance, and the conveying length of a single machine can reach 60 meters. It can be installed in a multi-stage series according to user needs to achieve longer distance conveying; at the same time, it has good sealing performance, which can prevent material contamination and odor leakage, ensuring the hygiene of the conveying environment; finally, it can also work flexibly, support multi-point feeding and bottom or end discharge, and flexibly meet different production needs.


The advantages of shaftless screw conveyors lie not only in their high efficiency and environmental protection performance, but also in their low maintenance cost. Due to the shaftless design, the equipment structure is simpler, the failure rate is reduced, and it is easy to maintain and clean. At the same time, its high torque and low energy consumption also save operating costs for enterprises.


In terms of application areas, shaftless screw conveyors are widely used in environmental protection, chemical industry, food, construction, mining, metallurgy, electricity and other industries due to their excellent performance. For example, in the field of environmental protection, it is often used to transport waste such as sludge and screen residue; in the chemical industry, it can be used to transport powdered or granular chemical raw materials; in the construction industry, it is used to transport materials such as concrete and mortar.

How to choose Shaftless Screw Conveyor?

When purchasing a shaftless screw conveyor, you need to consider factors such as material characteristics, conveying capacity, conveying distance, working environment conditions, power supply and control system, maintenance requirements, and cost and budget. The following provides six detailed purchase suggestions to help you choose a suitable shaftless screw conveyor. 1. Clarify the conveying requirements: According to the production process requirements, accurately calculate the required conveying capacity, that is, the weight or volume of materials that need to be conveyed per unit time. Determine the conveying distance and height, which will directly affect the design and power requirements of the shaftless screw conveyor. For longer distances, it may be necessary to use multiple conveyors to relay conveying.

2. Consider material characteristics: Understand the basic characteristics of the conveyed material, including the material form (powder, granular, block, etc.), particle size, humidity, temperature, corrosiveness, and fluidity. The requirements for shaftless screw conveyors for materials of different forms and characteristics vary greatly. For example, powdery materials are prone to dust, so a conveyor with good sealing needs to be selected; for corrosive materials, a screw conveyor made of corrosion-resistant materials, such as stainless steel, should be selected.

3. Choose the right model and specification: Choose the right shaftless screw conveyor model and specification according to factors such as conveying distance, conveying volume and material characteristics. Pay attention to the standard model length range of the conveyor to ensure that the selected equipment can meet the actual conveying needs.

4. Pay attention to equipment quality and performance: Choose equipment with high quality and material manufacturing to ensure long-term stable operation and reduce maintenance costs. Pay attention to whether the structural design of the equipment is convenient for maintenance and replacement of wearing parts, and choose equipment with simple maintenance and low cost.

5. Consider the working environment and installation conditions: Consider the working environment conditions of the shaftless screw conveyor, such as temperature, humidity, dust prevention requirements, etc. Determine the size and layout of the shaftless screw conveyor according to the space limitations of the workplace.

6. Choose a reliable supplier: Choose a reliable supplier with rich experience and technical strength. Understand the application experience and successful cases of related industries, and refer to the selection experience and implementation of similar projects. Compare the prices of products from different suppliers, and comprehensively consider the cost-effectiveness in terms of performance, quality, service and after-sales support. When purchasing a shaftless screw conveyor, you need to fully consider factors such as material characteristics, conveying requirements, working environment, equipment quality and performance, installation conditions, and supplier selection. By carefully analyzing and comparing, choosing a suitable shaftless screw conveyor can ensure that it operates stably and efficiently during the production process, bringing good economic benefits to the company.

It also has stable conveying, low energy consumption, simple maintenance, long service life, can adapt to a variety of complex working conditions, and has high conveying efficiency.

Working principle

The shaftless screw conveyor is an efficient and environmentally friendly material conveying equipment. Its working principle is based on the design without a central shaft, and the rotation of the spiral blade is used to push the material along the conveying trough. This design effectively solves the problem that traditional shafted screw conveyors are prone to clogging when conveying sticky and easily entangled materials.


The main structure of the shaftless screw conveyor includes a drive mechanism, a U-shaped trough and a bracket, a shaftless screw, a lining strip, a cover plate, a feed port, a discharge port, and fasteners. The drive mechanism consists of a motor reducer and a transmission shaft, etc., which provide power for the operation of the conveyor. The U-shaped trough and the bracket serve as the main frame of the conveyor to fix the shaftless screw and other components. The shaftless screw is the core component of the conveyor. Its shape is spiral and is designed according to the movement requirements of the material to ensure that the material can be conveyed smoothly. The lining strip and the cover plate are used to reduce friction and protect the screw from being worn by the material, respectively.


During operation, the motor drives the cycloid reducer to rotate, causing the spiral blade to rotate. The material enters the U-shaped trough from the feed port, and after being pushed by the spiral blade, it gradually moves to the discharge port and is discharged at the discharge port. The entire conveying process is carried out in a sealed trough, which reduces noise and prevents material contamination and odor leakage.


The working principle and characteristics of the shaftless screw conveyor include: it adopts a center-shaft-free design, uses a flexible integral steel screw to push materials, and has strong anti-winding properties; it is suitable for conveying belt-shaped, viscous, and easily entangled materials to prevent accidents caused by blockage; it has good environmental performance and adopts fully enclosed conveying to ensure environmental hygiene and the conveyed materials are not polluted; it has a large conveying capacity and its efficiency is much higher than that of traditional shafted screw conveyors; it has a long conveying distance, and the conveying length of a single machine can reach 60 meters. It can also be installed in a multi-stage series according to user needs to achieve longer distance conveying; it has a compact structure, saves space, has a beautiful appearance, is easy to operate, and is economical and durable.
