Theoretical analysis of the spherical particle velocity in a brush screw conveyor
One solution to environmental and resource problems is the reuse or recycling of waste. Recycling requires intermediate treatment in which waste is sorted by material. Conveying waste after sorting in a jig thickener using a screw conveyor with brushes has been considered. However, there are no examples of its use in water, and the effects of conveyor angle, speed, and pitch on conveyance are unknown. In this study, the theoretical and experimental particle velocities were compared. At low rotational speeds, the screw feed rate significantly influenced particle velocity.
