What particular problems (list at least three) should be anticipated with this system?1. Wood chips have irregular shapes and sizes and are likely to fit together and be easily struck. The smaller ends of irregularly shaped chips can become stuck in the space between the flying tip and the trough wall. This can lock/block the screw conveyor, resulting in bending and torque loads on the screw, which ultimately leads to mechanical failure of the machine.2. When designing an inclined screw conveyor system, the most common problem encountered is that the conveying efficiency will be reduced when the inclination angle increases.3. For the inclined screw conveyor system, the power required is higher than for other conveying systems, because the principle is based on friction. How can we combat the particular problems of (v)?1. The wood chips try to fit together. To deal with this, we need to choose a conveyor with sturdy construction and components, such as a screw with oversized pipe and thicker threads, and also feed the system at a controlled rate rather than feeding it by flooding. Some established companies may also recommend widening or narrowing the clearance from the flight tip to the trough to prevent materials from becoming trapped there.2. A general rule of thumb is to set a flexible screw conveyor at an angle no greater than 45 degrees. Considering the characteristics of wood chips, we may need to reduce the angle below 45 degrees to avoid backflow.3. The required power of the transport system results from the torque required for the transport process. From a theoretical point of view, the torque is a function of the volume of material in the conveyor. In our assessment...... middle of paper ......chain conveyor lubrication is generally governed by speed, environment and accessibility. A method of continuous or periodic lubrication of the chain conveyor in service should always be considered. Not lubricating a chain conveyor is only a reasonable option if one of the special chains (watertight seal, etc.) is used. Manual lubrication is normally sufficient for slow speed conveyors. Manual lubrication can sometimes be adequate for moderate speed conveyors, but drip or brush lubrication is often necessary. Drip lubrication is often required for high-speed conveyors, and continuous oil flow lubrication may sometimes be necessary. Regardless of the method, the oil should be applied to the top edges of the link plate or sidebar at the bottom of the chain. This allows gravity and centrifugal force to carry lubricant into critical areas of the bearing.:
