INTRODUCTION
Generally, conveying is accomplished by a combination of mechanical, inertial,
pneumatic, and gravity forces. Application of screw conveyors can be seen almost in every industry
nowadays. Conveyors utilizing primarily mechanical forces are screw, belt, and mass conveyors.
Screw conveyors are widely used for transporting and elevating particulates at controlled and
steady rates. They are used in many bulk materials applications in industries ranging from
industrial minerals, agriculture (grains), pharmaceuticals, chemicals, pigments, plastics, cement,
sand, salt and food processing.
The main reason why the screw conveyors are popular because they can be used for uniform
and continuous supply of various materials in manufacturing machinery and transport devices in
many industries as stated above. So it is a very effective way of elevating bulk materials.
Some advantages of Vertical Screw Conveyors are,
• Ideal for handling dry to semi-fluid materials
• Capacities up to 6,000 cubic feet per hour.
• Ability to elevate bulk materials up to 30-feet without use of internal bearings.
• Totally enclosed design for dust and vapor-tight requirements.
Since they operate over a wide range of speeds and angles of elevation up to the vertical. In
this mini project, we have focused on and designed a Vertical screw conveyor which is fully
enclosed.

Screw blade thickness = 4 mm
Where, D = screw diameter (in dm)
d = drive shaft diameter (in dm)
s = pitch (in dm)
n = revolutions per minute
sg = specific weight of the material
i = degree of through filling
� = Progress resistance coefficient
for Cement, sg = 1600 g

The driving power of the loaded screw conveyor is given by,
P = PV + PN + Pst
Where, PV = required power to move the material

Screw Conveyor Power = PV + PN + Pst

From the belt ratio,
Let Pitch diameter of smaller pully (d) = 125 mm
Pitch diameter of larger pully (D) = 250 mm

∴ Taking minimum C value for calculations,
