At the beginning of October 2024, the cooperation project "High-precision hollow vane shafts" funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection as part of the Central Innovation Program for SMEs was launched. The company Segler-Förderanlagen Maschinenfabrik GmbH will develop a heating screw conveyor with an innovative production of the high-precision hollow vane shaft. The Private University of Economics and Technology (PHWT) is focusing on the development of an algorithm for the exact calculation of blanks for vane production.
The heating and degassing of fine petroleum coke is to be carried out on the basis of an innovative heating screw. For this purpose, a new manufacturing process for the hollow vane shaft is being developed so that for the first time welding on the shaft itself is no longer necessary. The calculation algorithm will also help to significantly reduce the manufacturing tolerances in the longitudinal and transverse directions. All of this should enable more homogeneous conveying and more efficient heating of the product in the heating screw.
