The Arlat SC shaftless screw conveyors are of rugged design with a shaftless spiral
housed within a stainless steel enclosed U-trough. Elimination of the internal shaft results
in higher performance and lower maintenance because it eliminates clogging, wrapping and
bridging. There are no end or hanger bearings common with shafted conveyors. These
conveyors are used in both municipal and industrial applications.
Design is customized to meet project specifications. Spiral screw diameters, pitch,
thickness, length and inclination are determined by type and quantity of material being
conveyed. Screw rotational speed is determined by the application capacity and loading
requirements.
The shaftless screw design can be used in horizontal, inclined and vertical applications.
Arlat protects against wear on the screw and trough with use of replaceable hardened steel
wear bars or UHMW-PE trough liners; this in turn minimizes maintenance costs.
