Shredder screw conveyor for insulation plates – 9438

Shredder screw conveyor for insulation plates manufactured to degrade insulation plates inside an insulation factory plant.

Which tasks does a shredder screw conveyor solves?

• The shredder screw conveyor combines transport and degrading of the transported material
• During the transport buil-in knives break down the material into smaller lumps for further treatment

The shredder screw conveyor has to go with a relatively small speed on the screw rotor – app. 20-25 RPM. The knives have to be able to cut down the material. The speed can be adjusted by using a frequency inverter on the electrical motor.

A shredder screw conveyor can be an efficient solution if you want to create a system where you break down material into smaller pieces. The shredder screw conveyor can be used as the first step to start the degrading process.

The shredder screw covneyor can be combined with a conventional shredder in the outlet to degrade the material further.

Shredder screw conveyor are applied as machine for recycling.

Which types of material are applicable for a shredder screw conveyor?

1. Insulation plates
2. Lumps that are easy to break when meeting a knife
3. Leight weight stones
4. Porous material

It is not possible to predict the material size after treatment in a shredder screw conveyor. The final result can be obtained after finally fintuning the speed of the screw rotor.

General guidelines for the design of a shredder screw conveyor

1. Ensure that the diameter is large enough to handle the material that comes into the conveyor
2. Make the length as long as possible to increase the number of knives
