Description and working
principle
|
In over thirty years the ES-type Screw
Feeder has become a synonym for cement feeding in concrete batching plants all over the
world. In this period WAMŪ have supplied more than 150,000 units which have been
operating ever since, the very first one still running with its original screw. After the
turn of the new millennium it is hard to find a batching plant manufacturer anywhere in
the world who would not appreciate the unrivalled technical features and quality of the
ES. Apart from cement, ES-type Screw Feeders are nowadays also used for filler and other
materials similar to cement.
Basically the ES is an offspring of the TU series. The unique design of its
maintenance-free intermediate hanger bearings and end bearing assemblies c/w splined shaft
couplings, as well as drive units with incorporated shaft sealing unit and its widely
appreciated ball-jointed universal inlets and outlets set new standards in the industry.
Although some have tried to copy the ES, WAMŪ have been wise enough to continually invest
into further industrialization of this product, and there is no end in sight yet. |
