All Screwed Up.
I once seriously asked Olds for some performance information and was completely ignored although the email went through. As a project reviewer, and designer I follow the principle that if the Sales people can't be bothered at the enquiry stage then the Client has next to no chance of getting spare parts in time. Olds probably saved me a lot of time and my Client a lot of anguish.
It might be best to post in the Ask Lynn forum hereabouts. Lyn Bates is the business when it comes to screw conveyors and associated stuff. And a lot more besides.
There has been very little recent publicity about this promising elevator and in this case 'Silence is not Golden'. Lyn can, and will, advise you further and better and if your situation is urgent you must re-post without delay. ■

Thank you so much for an advice, I hopefully to get it asap! :-) ■
Design Calculation for Olds Elevator
Dear, Everyone who concern
We're the engineering students of KING MONGKUT'S UNIVERSITY of NORTH BANGKOK in Thailand. We're studying on 4th year(senior).Our major is Materials Handling Engineering.We're doing research about the Olds elevator on our senior's project.
May we ask you some questions about the Olds elevator?
Our project purpose is researching and inventing the Olds elevator. In Thailand,no one knows about the Olds elevator and we need to show them that the Olds elevator is the best one for vertical handling(for bulk materials). Our problem is we don't know how to
(1)calculated flow rate, (2)angular velocity, (3)motor power.(Mostly of screw conveyor is rotating screw with static tube)
Could you possibly give us a full research about the Olds elevator? (on the internet have an only short passage)
Or answering us some questions (above on this post)?
If that too hard to give us a full Olds elevator's manual design (equation) for free, we're glad to pay for it.
We would be grateful if you could attend to this matter as soon as possible.
With Best Regards, ■
