U Trough Type Screw Conveyor
Our U-Trough Type Screw Conveyor is a reliable and efficient material handling system designed for the controlled transfer of powders, granules, pellets, flakes, and other bulk materials. Built with a U-shaped trough and rotating screw, it ensures smooth, dust-controlled, and continuous conveying for a wide range of industrial applications.
A U-Trough Type Screw Conveyor is widely used for conveying bulk materials over short to medium distances in horizontal, inclined, or slightly vertical configurations. The system consists of a helical screw flight rotating inside a U-shaped trough, enabling consistent material movement with minimal spillage and excellent process control.
Designed for continuous-duty operation, our U-Trough Screw Conveyors are manufactured using SS304, SS316, or Mild Steel, depending on the material being handled and the application environment. The conveyor can be supplied with removable covers, inspection doors, inlet and outlet hoppers, wear liners, and multiple discharge points for easy maintenance and operational flexibility.
The conveyor integrates seamlessly with Storage Silos, Lump Breakers, Mixers, Blenders, Reactors, Feeding Systems, Bag Dump Stations, Weighing Systems, Filling Machines, and Complete Material Handling Plants, making it an ideal solution for automated production lines.
