In the article the overload clutch design, which makes it possible to increase the efficiency of screw conveyors in extreme conditions. A test bench has been developed and made in order to determine the optimum engineering data and operation conditions of a screw conveyer if an operating device is overloaded. In order to determine the intensity of the influence of such factors as a slope angle of an operating device relative to a horizon, the frequency of the rotation of an operating device and the rate of increase in the moment of resistance on the value of a torque of on a drive shaft, which arises when moving bulk and lump cargo a multifactor experiment has been conducted. As a result of the calculations the dependencies of the response surfaces of the optimization parameter and the two-dimensional section of response surfaces for the visual display of the results of the experimental investigation.
