How does the Conical Screw Barrel achieve smooth conveying of high-viscosity materials?

In many industrial production fields, the conveying of high-viscosity materials is often difficult. These materials have poor fluidity due to their special physical properties, which poses a great challenge to traditional conveying equipment. However, the emergence of the Conical Screw Barrel provides an effective solution for the smooth conveying of high-viscosity materials.
1. Unique structural design
The structural design of the conical screw barrel is the key to its ability to achieve smooth conveying of high-viscosity materials. Unlike traditional cylindrical screw barrels, the screw of the conical screw barrel is conical, and the barrel is also conical accordingly. This unique structural design gradually increases the pressure on the material during the conveying process, thereby effectively improving the fluidity of the material.
In the conical screw barrel, the pitch and diameter of the screw will also gradually change with the conveying direction of the material. The part close to the feed port has a larger pitch and a smaller diameter to facilitate the smooth entry of the material. In the part close to the discharge port, the pitch gradually decreases and the diameter gradually increases, so that the pressure on the material during the conveying process gradually increases, thereby improving the conveying efficiency of the material.
2. Optimized screw parameters
In addition to the unique structural design, the screw parameters of the conical screw barrel have also been optimized to meet the conveying needs of high-viscosity materials. The screw pitch, diameter, speed and other parameters will be reasonably adjusted according to the characteristics of the material and the conveying requirements.
For high-viscosity materials, a smaller pitch and a lower speed are usually used to avoid excessive shear and friction of the material during the conveying process, thereby reducing the viscosity of the material and improving its fluidity. At the same time, the diameter of the screw will also be reasonably selected according to the flow and pressure requirements of the material to ensure that the material can flow smoothly in the screw barrel.
3. Advanced heating and cooling system
The fluidity of high-viscosity materials is often affected by temperature. During the conveying process, if the temperature is too high, the material may degrade or deteriorate; if the temperature is too low, the viscosity of the material will increase and the fluidity will deteriorate. Therefore, the conical screw barrel is usually equipped with an advanced heating and cooling system to ensure that the temperature of the material during the conveying process is always kept within the appropriate range.
The heating system can be electric heating, steam heating or hot oil heating, etc., and can be selected according to the characteristics of the material and the conveying requirements. The cooling system can be water cooling or air cooling to quickly reduce the temperature of the material and avoid overheating of the material during the conveying process. Through precise temperature control, the fluidity of high-viscosity materials can be effectively improved to achieve smooth conveying.
4. Good sealing performance
In the conveying process of high-viscosity materials, sealing performance is crucial. If the seal is poor, the material may leak, which will not only cause environmental pollution, but also affect the conveying efficiency. Conical screw barrels usually use advanced sealing technologies such as mechanical seals, packing seals or magnetic seals to ensure that the material does not leak during the conveying process.
At the same time, the gap between the barrel and the screw of the conical screw barrel will also be strictly controlled to avoid the accumulation of materials in the gap and affect the conveying efficiency. Good sealing performance can not only ensure the smooth conveying of high-viscosity materials, but also improve the reliability and service life of the equipment.
In the face of high-viscosity materials, Conical Screw Barrel achieves smooth conveying of high-viscosity materials through unique structural design, optimized screw parameters, advanced heating and cooling systems, and good sealing performance. In industrial production, the application of conical screw barrel can not only improve production efficiency and reduce production costs, but also ensure product quality, providing strong support for the development of enterprises.
