The spiral blade is the main component of the screw conveyor. It is mainly used to transport materials with relatively high viscosity that can be compressed. In the process, it also completes functions such as stirring and mixing. Users who often use spiral blades have a question about the spiral blades. The problem of left and right rotation.
Spiral blades can be divided into left and right. The so-called rotation refers to the direction of rotation. Generally, spiral blades are mostly right-handed, just like the screws we use are mostly screwed. When we buy blades, we must state the direction of rotation in advance. If your machine has been using right-hand rotation, one part is broken. If you buy a left-hand blade, you cannot use it. If the equipment does not indicate left-hand rotation, it is recommended to use right-hand rotation. Most of the time, when you buy a left-hand one, it will not affect the use. You just need to change the direction of the motor.
A simple way to distinguish left-hand and right-hand spiral blades is to hold the leading end of the spiral blade vertically with your finger and walk around the direction of rotation of the blade. If it is clockwise, it is a sinusoidal spiral blade; if it is counterclockwise, it is a left-handed spiral blade.
