How to choose the Powder Hopper Feeder model?

The selection of the screw feeder should first consider the characteristics of the conveyed material, such as whether there is grinding, viscosity, water content, acidity and alkalinity, etc., so as to design a suitable model for different materials.

The size of the conveying volume will directly determine the selection of the equipment model size. The larger the output required by the user, the larger the type of screw feeder to be selected. The user needs to choose the appropriate model according to his own demand for output.

The conveying speed of the screw feeder will affect its conveying volume, but in order to prevent the increase of dynamic load, its conveying speed should not be too large. If the speed of the drive shaft is increased in the future to increase the conveying capacity, it will have a greater impact on the helical blades, resulting in increased wear of the blades and the U-shaped groove, which will affect the service life of the equipment.

It mainly includes conveyor belt width, slat width, hopper volume, pipe diameter and container size, etc. These component sizes directly affect the conveying capacity of the screw feeder. For example, the larger the diameter of the screw conveyor, the higher the efficiency. Of course, it is not necessarily the conveyor itself that can affect efficiency, and various properties of materials will also affect efficiency.

The conveying length and inclination directly affect the total resistance of the conveyor and the required power. The longer the conveying length and the larger the inclination, the greater the power required by the screw feeder, so it is necessary to explain this point when selecting the model.
