    Screw Conveyors | U-Trough, Pipe & Mobile Screw Conveyor

    Dust-Free & Reliable Conveying Solutions

    Orchid’s Screw Conveyors (U-Trough & Pipe Type) ensure dust-free and reliable conveying. Available in fixed, mobile, and trolley-mounted designs for food, pharma, chemical & industrial applications.

    Also known as Auger Conveyors, these systems use a helical screw blade inside a trough or pipe to move materials continuously. Available in U-Trough and Pipe (Tubular) designs, these conveyors are versatile for multiple industries including food, pharma, chemicals, plastics, minerals, and agriculture.

    Types of Screw Conveyors

    •  U-Trough Screw Conveyor:Open or covered U-shaped trough, best for free-flowing and non-abrasive materials, easy to clean, suitable for short to medium conveying distances.
    •  Pipe (Tubular) Screw Conveyor:Fully enclosed pipe housing with a rotating screw, ideal for powders, fine granules, and dusty materials, prevents spillage and contamination, can be used for inclined or vertical conveying.

    Mobility Option

    •  Mobile / Trolley-Mounted Screw Conveyor:Portable frame with wheels for easy movement across process areas. Ideal for multi-point feeding, temporary setups, and quick relocation inside the plant. Ensures operational flexibility, space efficiency, and ease of use.
