DEVICE FOR TRANSPORTING STICKY AND/OR WET MATERIAL

摘要

The invention concerns a device for transporting sticky and/or wet material (16) in horizontal direction comprising a shaftless spiral or screw (3) having an outside di- ameter (D) and an inside diameter (d) , a stationary trough (4) having a prismatic shape with at least at its underside a cylindrical part with a liner (17) for supporting the outside diameter of the shaftless spiral or screw, and drive means (1) for rotating the shaftless spiral or screw (3) around a stationary straight centreline (9) , the stationary trough (14) having an inlet opening (11) for receiving transportable material and at its underside an outlet opening (19) for discharging transported material. According to the invention the shaftless spiral or screw is provided over its active length between the inlet opening (11) and the outlet opening (19) along the centreline (9) with a pipe (12) which is rotatable in the inside diameter (d) of the haftless spiral or screw.
