The VE Vertical Screw Lift System consists of a Horizontal Screw Feeder and a Vertical
Screw Conveyor.
The Horizontal Screw Feeder, which may feed material from a silo or
hopper or simply convey it being fed by an upstream feeding device, consists of a
U-shape or tubular trough in carbon steel with appropriate surface finishing. In
any case the outlet zone consists of a short tubular section flanged at a right angle
on the bottom section of the Vertical Screw Conveyor. A flange is welded at each
end of the Horizontal Screw Feeder. The trough / tube contains a rotating screw with
shaft coupling bushes at each end that are connected with the shafts of the two end
bearing assemblies. The Horizontal Screw Feeder is equipped with one or more intermediate
hanger bearings should its overall length require any. Furthermore, it is equipped
with a drive unit suitable for the application.
The Vertical Screw Conveyor consists
of a tubular housing complete with a tangential inlet in the bottom section which
connects with the outlet of the Horizontal Screw Feeder, an inclined outlet spout
in the top section, end flanges welded on each conveyor tube section, a rotating
screw in one or more sections with shaft coupling bush at each end, a base bearing
assembly complete with slide bush, and a number of intermediate hanger bearings should
the overall height of the conveyor require any. The top-mounted drive unit with integrated
end bearing assembly (from which the screw is suspended) and self-adjusting shaft
sealing unit is suitable for the application.
The VE Vertical Screw Lift System is
available in a medium-heavy-duty version only.
