WAM Australia Showcases Industry-Leading TU Tubular Screw Conveyors for Versatile Bulk Material Handling

Designed with modularity and performance in mind, the TU system offers exceptional versatility in handling powdery and granular materials. From concrete production applications such as fly ash, filler dust, and silica fume, to premixed building materials including dry plasters, sand, cement, and additives, the TU range is engineered to meet diverse operational requirements. Additional applications include glass processing (calcium carbonate, soda, sand) and foundry operations (sand, bentonite), among many others. 

Engineered for Performance and Durability 

Manufactured from carbon steel with high-quality surface finishing, TU Screw Conveyors and Feeders are built to perform in demanding industrial environments. The system features a tubular trough with inlet and outlet spouts, helicoid screw flighting welded onto a central pipe, and robust end bearing assemblies with self-adjusting shaft seals. Intermediate hanger bearings ensure stability across varying conveyor lengths, while integrated gear motors are carefully selected to suit each application. 

Available in a medium heavy-duty design, TU conveyors are also offered with ATEX Zone 22 certification, ensuring safe operation in potentially explosive dust environments. 

Compact Design, Maximum Efficiency 

The TU system stands out for its compact footprint combined with high throughput rates. With seven available tube diameters and a streamlined design featuring a limited number of components, the conveyors are easy to install, operate, and maintain. Maintenance-free versions are also available, further reducing operational downtime. 

Key features include:

• Powder-coated construction for durability
• Inspection hatches for easy access
• Splined shaft couplings for reliable transmission
• Lifting eyelets for simplified handling and installation
• Multiple screw flighting options to suit material characteristics  

Flexible Configuration Options 

WAM Australia offers a wide range of customization options to ensure optimal performance in any application. These include:

• Direct drive systems or alternative transmission options (chain, belt, or semi-elastic coupling)
• Variable speed drives for precise material flow control
• Configurable inlet and outlet designs
• Custom end bearings, shaft seals, and screw configurations upon request
