4. Sizing the main devices
We'll mention four: the Archimedean screw, the bucket elevator, the mass elevator conveyor and the belt conveyor.
It's up to the manufacturer to calculate the unit, but when planning a project, it's essential to be able to quickly check the unit's dimensional characteristics. For this reason, we provide the reader with simple formulas for calculating the main quantities: flow rate and power to be installed.
4.1 Archimedes screw conveyor
Let's not forget that its driving principle is the rotor or propeller. Through the combined action of its rotation and gravity, the rotor moves the product forward in the trough.
