Calculations Screw Conveyor Bechtel

The document provides formulas for calculating key metrics for screw conveyors including belt speed, capacity, and power. Belt speed can be calculated based on screw diameter and rotations per minute. Capacity in m2/hour or kg/hour is calculated based on screw diameter, pitch, rotations per minute, degree of trough filling, and material specific weight. Power in Kw is calculated based on capacity, conveyor length, and friction coefficient.

Screw conveyors
Calculations for screw conveyors
Belt speed in m per sec

Screw diameter Rotations


x 3,14 x
(in meters) per minute
v =
60

v = speed in m per sec

Calculations for screw conveyors


Capacity in m2 per hour (Q)
Q = 47,1 x ( D2 - d2 ) x s x n x i
Capacity in kg per hour (Q)
Q = 47,1 x ( D2 - d2 ) x s x n x i x sg
D = screw outside diameter in dm
d = screw inner diameter in dm
s = pitch in dm
n = rotations per minute
sg = specific weight of the material (see table)
i = degree of trough filling (eg. 30%: i=0,3)

Calculations for screw conveyors


Power in Kw (P)
Q x L x K
P =
3600 x 102
P = power in Kw
Q = capacity in 1000 kg per hour
L = conveyor screw length (m)
K = friction coefficient
