Horizontal, Inclined and Vertical Conveying
Dutch Spiral’s shaftless screw conveyors—available in horizontal, inclined, and vertical configurations—provide efficient, clog-free transport of sludge, screenings, and grit, with a customisable design that optimises space and minimises maintenance.
Shaftless Screw Conveyors
- Designed to handle sticky, fibrous, and high-moisture materials without clogging
- Ideal for transporting dewatered sludge, screenings, and grit
- Eliminates the need for intermediate bearings, reducing maintenance
Inclined Screw Conveyors
- Customisable for various angles, optimising space usage in compact treatment plants
- Ensures efficient material transport even at steep inclines
Horizontal Screw Conveyors
- Suitable for long-distance transport of sludge and solids
- Can be installed with multiple inlets and outlets to fit plant layouts
Benefits of Dutch Spiral Conveyors
High Efficiency – Engineered for smooth and reliable material transport with minimal energy consumption.
Low Maintenance – Shaftless design reduces wear and eliminates the need for internal bearings.
Customisable Solutions – Available in various sizes, lengths, and configurations to suit specific plant requirements.
Corrosion-Resistant Materials – Constructed from high-quality stainless steel for long-term durability in harsh environments.
Seamless Integration – Designed to work with Hydroflux Epco’s wastewater treatment and biosolids processing systems for optimised plant operations.
Reduced Blockages – The Shaftless design prevents clogging, making it ideal for materials with high solids content.
Trough Liners for Dutch Spiral Shaftless Screw Conveyors
Trough liners are a critical component of Dutch Spiral’s shaftless screw conveyors, providing durability, wear resistance, and smooth material transport. These liners protect the conveyor trough from abrasion and reduce friction, ensuring efficient movement of sludge, screenings, grit, and other challenging materials in wastewater treatment and industrial applications.
Types of Trough Liners
UHMW-PE (Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene) Liners
- High wear resistance for extended service life
- Low friction for smooth material flow and reduced energy consumption
- The non-stick surface minimises material buildup and blockages
Ceramic-Reinforced Liners
- Designed for highly abrasive materials like grit and sand
- Superior hardness and impact resistance for extended durability
Stainless Steel Liners
- Used in high-temperature or corrosive environments
- Provides extra rigidity for heavy-duty applications
