Unitrak Introduces Flexible Screw Conveyors for Efficient Material Handling

In modern industrial production, material handling serves as the vital circulatory system that connects various production stages, ensuring smooth flow of raw materials, semi-finished products, and final goods. Traditional conveying methods often suffer from inefficiency, excessive space requirements, and high maintenance costs - limitations that constrain productivity improvements.

The UniTrak flexible screw conveyor represents an engineering masterpiece combining precision design with outstanding performance. Its unique operating principle and exceptional adaptability redefine material handling standards, delivering unprecedented efficiency gains for industrial operations.

UniTrak's operation principle is elegantly simple: a precisely engineered metal screw rotates within a fixed tube, generating directional force to move materials from intake to discharge points. The system's remarkable flexibility allows customized configurations adapted to specific material characteristics.

The system handles diverse bulk materials including fine powders, uniform granules, smooth pellets, and irregularly shaped small items. Both free-flowing materials like sand and grains, and non-free-flowing substances such as pigments and additives can be transported with consistent reliability.

With its compact design and adaptable layout, the UniTrak maximizes space efficiency - particularly valuable in constrained production environments. Its ability to perform both horizontal and vertical transport enables three-dimensional space optimization.

While operating most efficiently at 45° angles, the system maintains stable performance at horizontal orientations and other angles. Optional mobile bases facilitate relocation between production areas, serving multiple processes.

The enclosed tube design prevents dust generation while simplifying maintenance. Durable construction and high-quality materials ensure prolonged operation with minimal downtime.

The system's defining characteristic is its ability to bend within recommended radii, navigating around obstacles and enabling complex routing configurations unavailable to rigid conveyors.

For delicate items like chips, crackers, or certain pharmaceuticals, the screw's rotational action may cause breakage. Specialized screw coatings or reduced speeds can mitigate this concern.

Sticky or high-moisture materials may cause clogging, while abrasive substances accelerate wear. Proper material evaluation ensures optimal configuration selection.

Maximum recommended conveying distance is 40 feet (12 meters) for maintaining efficiency and equipment longevity. Longer distances may require multiple connected units or alternative conveying methods.

Throughput depends on material density, particle size, screw specifications, tube dimensions, hopper size, and operating angle. Professional consultation ensures proper capacity matching.

This compact, economical unit suits shorter distances and smaller volumes, ideal for laboratories, small production lines, and food processing applications.

The heavy-duty workhorse handles longer distances and larger volumes in industries like chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and plastics. Optional accessories enable automation integration.

Designed for hygiene-critical sectors, this version features tilt functionality, smooth surfaces, and quick-disassembly components to facilitate sanitation and prevent contamination.

UniTrak's comprehensive approach extends beyond equipment supply to include needs analysis, system design, installation supervision, and ongoing support - ensuring optimized material handling solutions for diverse industrial applications.
