    The document provides details on designing a screw conveyor system to convey rice over a distance of 45 meters with a capacity of 35 tons per hour. Key details of the design include: 1. The design specifications calculate the conveyor will need a 15 inch screw diameter, 16 inch casing diameter, 26 hanger bearings, and have a capacity of 42.67 tons per hour. 2. Calculations show the design has 7.43% excess capacity and will require 17 horsepower. 3. The recommended screw shaft diameter is 2.57 inches based on the conveyor specifications.
