Abstract
This Screw conveyors are widely used for transporting and / or elevating particulates at controlled and steady rates. They are used in many bulk material applications in industries commonly agriculture, chemicals, plastics, cement, food processing. They are also used for metering (measuring the flow rates) from storage bins and adding small controlled amount of trace materials or powder. Many studies on screw conveyors were conducted to examine the performance and to develop new types. The purpose of this paper is to study the effect of percent trough load upon the horizontal screw conveyor power requirement and also gives the idea about selection of conveyor speed and diameter of screw. After considering previous papers it is noticed that percent trough load is a one parameter which is not considered effectively and it is discussed in this paper by taking examples.
Keywords- Screw conveyor, trough load, horsepower
