Mild Steel Screw Conveyor

A 3-start screw conveyor is a type of screw conveyor designed to efficiently transport bulk materials using a screw or auger mechanism. The term "3-start" refers to the screw’s design, which has three helical threads or "starts" wrapped around the central shaft. This design significantly affects the conveyor’s capacity and performance.How It Works:Design: A 3-start screw conveyor consists of a central shaft with three helical threads or flights wound around it. The flights are typically spaced equally around the shaft, providing multiple paths for the material to move along the conveyor.Operation: As the screw rotates, the material is lifted and moved along the length of the conveyor. The multiple starts help in distributing the material more evenly and improving the overall flow efficiency.
