Trough – commonly stainless steel, also available in mild steel painted, galvanized or FRP/GRP.

Spiral – special high tensile micro-alloy steel (HTMAS) cold formed and welded into multiple layers to provide extremely high strength, corrosion resistance and long life.

Liner –  Duraflo® SPX liner features integral lubricant, added hardeners and two colour wear indicator.

Features and benefits of shaftless spiral conveyors include:

• High volume capacity for a small cross section 
• Intended for the transport of difficult, stringy, spongy, sticky, wet, lumpy materials – suitable for a wide range of moisture contents and viscosities
• Complex geometries and limited space easily satisfied
• Low RPM for long life expectancy to wear components
• Totally enclosed troughs for odour and mess containment
• Very high load/torque capability
• Low maintenance costs
• Long continuous runs on a single gearbox
• Easily able to handle large foreign objects or product lumps
• Forgiving operation allows for wide capacity range
• Custom designed to match field equipment
• High resistance to corrosion provides for very long equipment life expectancy in the harshest of conditions
