Conveyors Low-Cost Manufacturer Direct Supply
A U-shaped screw conveyor uses a helical screw inside a U-shaped
trough to transport bulk materials like powders, granules, and
pellets. This design is favored for its better sealing, easy
cleaning, and maintenance, making it ideal for industries requiring
dust control and hygiene, such as chemical and food processing.
Features and benefits

Mining, Other
· U-shaped trough: This design provides higher capacity than traditional cylindrical
screw conveyors and offers easier access for inspection and
cleaning, especially when compared to sealed tube conveyors.
· Sealing: The design can be enclosed to prevent dust leakage, making it
suitable for dusty environments and applications where
environmental contamination is a concern.
· Easy maintenance: The open-top design of some U-trough conveyors facilitates
straightforward cleaning and inspection for blockages.
· Material compatibility: They can handle a wide range of materials, including powders,
granules, and flakes, across various industries.
· Rigidity: The U-trough design provides increased rigidity to the conveyor.
Applications
· Chemical industry: Transporting plastic pellets and fertilizers.
· Food processing: Conveying flour, sugar, and grains.
· Construction materials: Handling cement and fly ash.
· Wastewater treatment: Transporting dewatered sludge.
Limitations
Not ideal for long distances: The U-shaped design is generally better suited for shorter
transport distances compared to standard tubular screw conveyors.
· Fragile materials: It may cause damage to fragile materials being conveyed.
