Trough Conveyor Design
Trough conveyors are designed exactly as the name suggests. They are conveyors which form a trough shape and are used to carry and move bulk materials.
Quite often, the sides of a standard conveyor are placed at different angles to contain the load. Using innovative techniques, our conveyors eliminate the requirement for side guides. It makes for a more hygienic option, encapsulating the product and minimising falling.
The belt itself is run over idler rollers and requires very little maintenance.
Our trough conveyor design is predominantly made of a stainless steel construction, utilising the latest PU belts on the market to help facilitate the highest quality end product. So whether you’re looking to handle light, medium or heavy duty products – Unitech can provide and deliver a system suitable to your exact needs.
