What Is The Use Of Screw Conveyor?

APLS Screw conveyor is popular in the oil gas industry for transferring the drilling cuttings to feed to the cuttings dryer, and cuttings collection box. It's a combination of motor and gearbox, the screw blade, and the U shape or circular channel. U-shaped screw conveyor is widely used in food, chemical, building materials, metallurgy, mining, electric power, and other departments, mainly used for conveying small granular, powdery, small lump materials. It is not suitable for conveying materials that are easy to deteriorate, have a high viscosity and easy to agglomerate, and have large water content. There are fixed speed and VFD ones.

The drilling cuttings waste or the drilling fluids disposal discharged from solids control equipment need to be treated for the further drying process. The screw conveyor 

will help to transfer the disposal to a certain pit, cuttings dryer, or the filter press machine. For example, the auger feeder is set beside the tank and below the shaker discharge end. The auger feeder inlet position or channel beginning part can be fitted with a hopper in parallel to the discharge slide channel 

Screw conveyor can help us get a convenient transfer drilling cutting and waste between equipment to further treatment center for the drilling waste. The screw conveyor 

 is not only used in oilfield waste management but also in other applications. Such as the chemical industry, construction industry, food industry, mining industry, and so on. The angle of the conveyor is customizable for the different work sites. For cuttings transfer, we usually use U type conveyor and a round tube-type conveyor.

As a professional manufacturer of solids control, we know better about the job site. We know how to design and configure an auger feeder is more convenient for users' operations. And from the raw material of steel to the different standard components (motors, gearbox) we select the high quality and excellent performance product.
