KWS Shaftless Screw Conveyors efficiently convey dry, semi-fluid or sticky bulk materials. The shaftless design provides a non-clogging conveying surface by eliminating the need for intermediate shaft bearings. Bulk materials discharged from centrifuges, filter presses or mixers can easily be metered or conveyed using a shaftless screw conveyor.
The five steps are: Establish characteristics of the bulk material to be conveyed. Determine conveyor size and speed based on capacity. Calculate horsepower requirements. …

Note: High starting torque motors must not be used without design verification by Kase's Engineering Department. Example: A 12-inch carbon steel conveyor has been selected with a required shaft horsepower of 8.9 and a speed of 64 RPM. The drive to be used has an efficiency of 85%, thus requiring a drive input of 10.46 horsepower. Therefore, a 15 …
The chart above illustrates the distance/length requirement for the level of incline on an inclined conveyor. In addition to a lower profile, the "L" and "S" configurations of the steep incline conveyor allow it to replace multiple pieces of handling equipment; one S-type steep incline conveyor can replace two belt conveyors and a bucket elevator, significantly …
Bucket Elevator Engineering Guide. One of the most efficient ways to elevate bulk materials vertically is with a bucket elevator. A Bucket Elevator consists of a series of buckets attached to a belt or chain with pulleys or sprockets located at the top and bottom of the unit. The buckets are located in a casing or housing to contain the material.
Before proceeding to design a conveyor belt system, engineers must set a design specification.
