U-Type Screw Conveyor – Reliable Powder & Bulk Material Handling

A U-Type Screw Conveyor consists of a helical screw blade housed inside a U-shaped casing with a top cover. As the screw rotates, it moves material forward in a controlled manner. Designed for both horizontal and inclined conveying, it can handle free-flowing and non-free-flowing materials with ease.

Built using high-quality stainless steel or mild steel, our U-Type Screw Conveyors are robust, hygienic, and customizable as per process requirements. Options like single or multiple inlets/outlets, dust-tight covers, and jacketed designs make it versatile for a wide range of applications.
