Screw conveyor

The use of a screw conveyor in blasting is an advanced method in surface treatment technology that is widely used in industrial applications. This technique allows materials to be efficiently and continuously transported through a blast room where they are subjected to blast treatment.

In this process, the screw conveyor, also known as a screw conveyor, is an integral part of the system. It consists of a spiral-shaped screw that is placed inside a closed housing or tube. As the screw rotates, it moves the material to be treated along its spiral path through the blast chamber.

The blast chamber is a specially designed chamber that is optimized for the blasting process. It can be made of robust materials such as steel or aluminum and has transparent windows or viewing openings to monitor the blasting process. During blasting, the abrasive, such as sand or steel shot, is shot onto the material under high pressure to remove contaminants, rust, paint or coatings from the surface. The movement of the material through the screw conveyor ensures uniform processing and enables continuous blasting treatment over longer periods of time.

By using a screw conveyor in blasting, companies can increase the efficiency and productivity of their surface treatment processes. This method allows materials to be transported in a controlled and automated system, resulting in a consistent and precise blasting treatment.
