U-Trough

Angle Flanged is the most commonly employed U-trough.  The top flange is fabricated with heavy duty structural steel angles welded flush with the top housing edge.  End flanges are jig welded to insure proper alignment with other trough sections.

Angle Flange

Formed Flange housing are lightweight, yet rigid, housing section.  The top flange is formed from the same sheet as the trough.  End flanges are jig welded for perfect alignment with other sections 

The Channel U-trough is well suited for applications requiring long distances between conveyors supports.  Upper trough sides are fabricated with structural steel channels to which the lower  contoured section may be bolted or spring clamped.  Useful for abrasive applications where frequent replacement of lower formed section is anticipated.

Drop Bottom is intended for applications where quick and convenient assess to the conveyor interior is required.  The drop bottom trough consists of rigid upper side angles to which a lower contoured section is attached.  One side of the lower formed section is hinged while the other is attached by use of spring clamps or other type of quick opening device.

The Jacketed housing consists of a U-trough and continuously welded steel jacket which forms a chamber between the inner and outer walls for heating or cooling media.  Built to specifications to suit individual requirements

Flared Trough are intended primarily for sticky or slightly viscous materials.  The trough is most often employed with ribbon conveyors.  Top flanges are formed from the same sheet as the housing.  End flanges are jig welded for perfect alignment with other sections. 

Tubular housings are inherently dust and weather tight, rigid and may be readily loaded to a full cross section.  The standard tubular housing is rolled from a single sheet and continuously welded at the seam.

Angle Flanged Tubular housings consist of semi- circular formed halves, each of which includes and angle flange of structural steel.  The two sections are bolted together to form the tubular housing.

Formed Flange Tubular housing is similar to the angle flanged except that the flanges are formed from the same sheet as that of the contoured half sections, thus resulting in a regid, lightweight tubular section.  The halves are bolted together to form the complete housing.

Rectangular trough housings are well suited for highly abrasive applications.  The material is allowed to form on the trough bottom, thus preventing abrasion directly against the housing wall.  Top flanges are fabricated of structural steel angle welded flush with the top edge.

The top flange for this type of housing is formed from the same sheet as the trough, thus providing a rigid, yet lighter housing.
