Excessive humidity can cause screw feeder malfunctions, material lock-up, corrosion, and uneven feeding. These optimization techniques should ensure smooth operation for feed, fertilizer, and biomass manufacturers in wet conditions and extend the life of the equipment used.
5 Key Solutions for Humid Conditions
Choose the Right Materials
Compared with carbon steel, stainless steel has a more rust-resistant structure.
A special coating is used to prevent moisture.
The non-stick surface prevents material buildup.
Improve Material Flow
Slightly increase the screw speed to prevent blockages
Increase the screw shell clearance
Installation of a mixer for viscous materials
Control Moisture Exposure
Cover the exposed parts of the feeder.
Use sealed bearings to protect moving parts.
Install a moisture barrier at the transfer point.
Regular Maintenance Matters
Check daily for early signs of moisture damage
Clean regularly (to prevent material hardening)
All moving parts must be well lubricated
Smart Operational Adjustments
Reduce downtime - keep materials moving continuously
Preheat materials to dry them whenever possible
Check humidity and plan ahead for difficulties
Troubleshooting Common Problems
| Problem | Quick Solution |
| Material accumulation | Increase screw speed, add vibrator |
| Rust formation | Switch to stainless steel components |
| Inconsistent feed | Check for moisture clumps, clean more frequently |
| Motor strain | Reduce material load, check lubrication |
Why do these solutions work?
Avoid costly downtime and repairs
Maintain consistent production quality
Extend equipment life
Reduce energy usage
