Product Overview: U Trough Screw Conveyor
The U Trough Screw Conveyor is a highly efficient mechanical conveying system used for transporting bulk materials horizontally or at a slight incline. It is widely utilized across industries such as food processing, cement, chemical, pharmaceuticals, and agriculture. Designed for durability and reliability, this conveyor ensures smooth and consistent material flow, minimizing spillage and operational downtime.
Design and Functionality
The U Trough Screw Conveyor derives its name from its U-shaped trough, which houses a rotating screw (also known as a flight). As the screw rotates, materials are pushed forward through the trough, making it an ideal system for handling powders, granules, and semi-solid materials. The U-trough design provides easy access for cleaning, maintenance, and inspection — making it a preferred choice for industries that prioritize hygiene and operational efficiency.
Material Construction and Customization
These conveyors are typically constructed from mild steel (MS), stainless steel (SS304/316), or galvanized iron, depending on the material being handled and environmental conditions. Saksham Industrial Engineers offers complete customization options, including varying screw diameters, lengths, pitch configurations, and drive types to meet unique material handling requirements. Optional covers and liners can also be added to enhance performance and safety.
Applications Across Industries
U-Trough Screw Conveyors are versatile and suitable for a broad range of industries:
* Food & Beverage: For flour, grains, and sugar.
* Pharmaceutical: For powder transfer and blending.
* Cement & Construction: For sand, cement, and ash.
* Chemical & Fertilizer: For granules, salts, and chemicals.
* Waste Management: For sludge, biomass, and recycling materials.
Their flexibility and efficiency make them indispensable for continuous bulk handling operations.
