1. Product Overview

U-Type Screw Conveyor is a common type of screw conveyor, featuring an open U-shaped trough matched with a rotating screw blade to realize continuous conveying of bulk materials. It is designed for conveying powdery, granular, and small lumpy materials, with the advantages of simple structure, easy loading and unloading, convenient maintenance, and low cost. Compared with tubular screw conveyors, it has the characteristics of open trough design, which is convenient for observation and cleaning, and is widely used in various industries that do not require strict sealing requirements.

2. Features

• Open U-Shaped Design: The U-shaped trough is open, which is convenient for manual feeding, observation of material conveying status, and regular cleaning and maintenance, suitable for scenarios where material loading and unloading are frequent.

• Simple Structure & Easy Installation: The overall structure is simple, consisting of U-shaped trough, screw blade, motor, reducer and supporting components, with low installation difficulty and short installation cycle, which can be quickly put into use.

• Cost-Effective: Compared with enclosed tubular screw conveyors, the production and installation cost is lower, and the maintenance workload is small, which is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises or scenarios with limited budget.

• Stable Conveying Performance: The screw blade and trough are closely matched, the conveying speed is stable, and the material conveying is uniform, which can ensure long-term continuous operation with low failure rate.

• Strong Adaptability: It can convey various powdery, granular and small lumpy materials (such as grain, coal, sand, fertilizer, etc.), and can be customized with different trough widths, lengths and blade materials according to actual needs.

• Flexible Layout: It can realize horizontal and inclined conveying, and the conveying length and angle can be adjusted according to the on-site layout, which is flexible to adapt to different working environments.

3. Applications

• Grain and Feed Industry: Conveying wheat, corn, rice, soybeans, feed pellets, bran and other materials in grain depots, feed factories and farms, convenient for loading, unloading and stacking.

• Building Materials Industry: Conveying sand, gravel, lime, fly ash and other materials in construction sites, concrete mixing stations and brick factories, matching the needs of on-site material transfer.

• Mining Industry: Conveying coal, coal powder, crushed stone and other materials in small and medium-sized mines, quarries and coal yards, with strong adaptability to harsh working environments.

• Chemical Industry: Conveying non-corrosive or low-corrosive powdery and granular chemical raw materials (such as urea, ammonium nitrate) in chemical plants, with optional corrosion-resistant materials for special needs.

• Agricultural Industry: Conveying agricultural by-products, seeds, fertilizers and other materials in farms, agricultural product processing plants, facilitating agricultural production and processing.

• Other Industries: It can also be used in environmental protection, waste treatment, and other industries for conveying bulk materials that do not require strict sealing.
