auger conveyor with a 130-liter hopper, hopper agitator, and a 2200mm discharge height is a specialized material handling system designed for transporting and feeding powders, granules, or other bulk materials vertically. Here are the key components and features:
1. 130-Liter Hopper with Agitator:
• Hopper Capacity: The 130-liter hopper stores bulk material before it enters the auger screw for transport.
• Agitator: The hopper agitator ensures smooth flow of materials, preventing clogging or bridging, which is essential for handling materials prone to sticking or clumping, such as powders.
2. Auger Conveyor:
• Transport Mechanism: The auger, or screw conveyor, moves material through a rotating screw housed in a tube or trough. This ensures continuous feeding of the material from the hopper to the desired discharge point.
• Material Compatibility: Auger conveyors are commonly used to transport materials like flour, cement, coffee, and other powders or granules in industries like food processing, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals.
3. Discharge Height:
• 2200mm Discharge Height: The auger conveyor is designed to lift the material up to a height of 2200mm (2.2 meters). This vertical lift is ideal for feeding into higher processing equipment such as mixers, packaging machines, or silos.
4. Drive System:
• The system typically includes a motor-driven mechanism to power both the auger screw and the agitator in the hopper. Adjustable speed settings can allow for control over the material flow rate.
Applications:
This type of auger conveyor system is suitable for:
• Food Industry: For handling ingredients like flour, sugar, or coffee.
• Pharmaceuticals: For feeding powders into tablet or capsule machines.
• Chemical Processing: For conveying fine chemical powders to mixers or reactors.
This system is highly efficient for continuous material feeding processes and helps prevent material loss or contamination during vertical transport
