An even flow in a screw conveyor requires proper geometric design of the stepped pitch, tapered shaft, and tapered screw diameter. Yu and Arnold (1996) indicated that a stepped pitch and tapered shaft can provide uniform withdrawal in the feed direction by increasing the screw conveyor capacity.
A screw conveyor with the housing diameter of 15.5 cm, screw diameter of 13 cm and screw shaft diameter 3.5 cm having the length of 150 cm was constructed by Hemad, Mohammad, and Mohammad (2010 ...
In general, linear relationship was obtained between the feed rate and the rotating speed of screw although the linearity is somewhat weak for two types of untreated powder and those treated with 0.2wt% stearic acid. As the stearic acid concentration increased, the feed rate, that is, the slope of straight line α, increased.

30%A Trough Loading. Bulk materials with a density range of 15 to 60 lbs/ft 3 that are mildly abrasive and free-flowing such as carbon black, fish meal or spent brewers grain will flow through a screw conveyor. The trough loading can be raised to a level below the center pipe without causing undue wear on the conveyor components such as screws, hanger bearings, couplings shafts and troughs.
Mass flow screws utilize a combination of internal cone and variable pitch to provide increasing volume with every flight and are used in screw feeders to provide uniform withdrawal of bulk materials from hoppers, bins or silos.

Efficient screw design requires a good geometric design of the outlet/feeder combination in order for the bulk solids to be entrained over the full length of the outlet.
The most common way in the pharmaceutical industry is to use twin-screw feeders where it is worth changing the type of the screw according to the applied material . Since a lot of polymer-based ASD prepared by solvents method can be described as a sticky powder, a fine concave screw would be the best choice for precise feeding.

Contrary to screw speed, increasing material feed rate leads to an increase in motor torque (Vercruysse, Córdoba Díaz et al., 2012). Liquid to solid (L/S) ratio (ratio between liquid flow rate and solid blend flow rate) has been widely acknowledged to be the most important factor regarding granule properties in TSWG.

Five different screw designs (Fig. 9) were tested during the extrusion of HPMCAS, and the critical extrusion conditions were determined on a pass or fail basis (Table I). The screw design No. 1 was the least aggressive one that was applied as a control, while the No. 5 was the most aggressive one that contained two mixing sections.
The multi-terminal SOP, which is a controllable power electronic device installed to replace the normally open point, provides accurate active and reactive power flow control to enable the flexible connection of feeders. An enhanced SOCP-based method for feeder load balancing using the multi-terminal SOP is proposed in this paper.

extrusion process. Based on the results obtained, it was found that, the feed rate applied to drive the filament into the extruder head should be between 5 mm/s to 15 mm/s approximately. Meanwhile, the high temperature was affected on the filament extrusion flow through the different nozzle diameter of 0.4 mm and 0.6 mm in size.

Another type employs a screw or helix from the bottom of the hopper through a tube opening slightly larger than the diameter of the screw or helix. Rate of feed is governed by the speed of screw or helix rotation. Some screw-type designs are self-cleaning, while others are subject to clogging. Figure 5-16 shows a typical screw-feeder.
