This book offers the reader clear and accessible advice - whether seeking a standard screw feeder for a well-proven application, or designing from scratch for a new duty where no prior experience can be drawn upon for performance verification.

Screw feeders today play an increasingly important role in the drive towards improved quality, reduced costs, increased capacity, better working conditions, and flexibility in solids processing. Advances in control methods are being matched with improved predictability and reliability of the processes being controlled. The intensive and integrative nature of many production lines crucially depends upon each element working to its full design capability. Solid feeding operations comprise a key activity, renowned for operating difficulties out of all proportion to the cost of the equipment. This excellent book, by an acknowledged expert in the area, provides a valuable introduction to the subject together with guidance on the selection and application of a range of screw feeders.

  • Introduction
  • Classes of Screw Equipment
  • Screw Feeder Types
  • Construction
  • Interfacing Screw Feeders with Hoppers

The British Materials Handling Board, following their long-term promotion of bulk storage and handling interests, perceived the need to make available a practical guide to the design, selection, and application of screw feeders. the author, Lyn Bates, as an international renowned expert in this field, was commissioned to prepare this user Guide.

As Managing Director of Ajax Equipment Limited, a company that specializes in screw-type equipment for solids handling, he enjoys a 'hands-on' attitude to powder handling problems. He has introduced various design innovations and patents in the field and designed various instruments for measuring flow-related powder properties. As a member and past chairman of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers Bulk Materials Handling Committee, he produced a 'Guide to the Specification of Bulk Solids for Storage and Handling Applications'. An active member of the European Federation of chemical Engineers Working Party on the Mechanics of Particulate Solids, and sitting on various BSI and other technical committees, he is dedicated to promoting education in this specialized section of engineering.

Lyn Bates has written many technical papers and publications on aspects of bulk solids handling. This book complements related publications by the BMHB, which include the author's earlier book 'A User Guide to Segregation', as well as 'User Gide to Particle Attrition in Mechanical Handling Equipment', prepared by a working party chaired by Lyn Bates.
