U-screw conveyor

Shaftless screw conveyors are highly efficient for transporting large volumes of material with reliable operation. Autofric’s U-screw conveyor, our very first model, combines proven performance with modern innovation, delivering superior efficiency and output.

The U-screw conveyor is the ultimate choice for horizontal material transport. Its shaftless design and large trough buffer volume allow it to handle substantial amounts of material without interruption.

The enclosed construction enables a dust-free environment, preventing odors and spillage.

The U-screw conveyor is the perfect solution for a wide range of applications and installations. Typical uses include wastewater treatment plants, industrial facilities, agriculture, food production, and biofuel handling.

What are screw and spiral conveyors used for?

• Loading and lifting: Efficiently distribute bulk materials to different locations using multiple inlet and outlet points.
• Feeders: Can be configured as screw feeders to control material flow in processes that require precise dosing, such as automated feeding systems.
• Mixing products: A screw conveyor can be used as a mixer or agitator to blend dry or liquid ingredients.
• Heating/Cooling: Suitable for various materials.
• Drying: For different types of materials.
