Screw conveyors are mainly used to convey powder, granular, and small pieces of materials, and various bearings are working in dust. Therefore, the reasonable operation and maintenance of the screw conveyor under this working condition is of greater significance. The following Kunwei Machinery will explain to you the use and maintenance methods of the screw conveyor:

1. The moving parts of the screw conveyor should be lubricated according to the time specified in the manual.
2. The cover of the screw conveyor should not be removed when the machine is running to avoid accidents.
3. Any abnormal phenomenon that occurs during the operation of the screw conveyor should be checked and eliminated. Forced operation is not allowed.
4. Do not mix hard and bulky materials into the conveyed materials to avoid screw jams and damage to the screw conveyor.
5. When the machine is started and stopped, do not add materials before starting the machine. Before stopping the machine, ensure that the materials have been transported. Reduce the pressure of the drive device when the machine starts and stops. 6. Special attention should be paid to whether the screw between the spiral tube and the connecting shaft is loose. If this phenomenon is found, it should be stopped immediately and corrected.
6. The reducer uses 30# mechanical lubricating oil in winter and 45# mechanical lubricating oil in summer; calcium-based grease is used for suspension bearings and front and rear rolling bearings.
7. In use, always check the working status of each part of the screw conveyor. Pay attention to whether the fastening parts are loose. If the parts are found to be loose, you should immediately tighten the screws to re-fasten them.
8. During the initial feeding of the screw conveyor, the feeding speed should be gradually increased to reach the rated conveying capacity, and the feeding should be uniform, otherwise it is easy to cause the accumulation of conveyed materials.
