Answer»

Correct option is (c) 60 – 120 rpm

The explanation is: The screw ALONG with the shaft in screw conveyor rotates at about 60 rpm to 120 rpm and carries coal from one end to another. Screw CONVEYORS are DESIGNED to suit different load capacities. These can only be used in very SHORT ranges and tend to get hot if used for longer amount of time.
