Hutchinson U-Trough Auger/Screw Conveyor

Hutchinson U-Trough Augers
U-Trough Screw Conveyor

The U-Trough screw type grain conveying systems are available for farm and commercial applications. Components of this grain auger series are constructed of heavy gauge materials to withstand the rigors of high use. In all our grain systems we recommend consideration of this series. The same high quality components such as reducer drives, roller gated wells, rack and pinion controls, control pipe kits and many other accessories are available with the screw type as with the en masse conveyors.

Available in 9", 12", 14", and 16" diameter sizes.
Capacities from 300 to 10,000 BPH
Pre-assembled: flight and bearings are installed for easy field installation

Choice of Hangar Bearings
Wood - 9" through 16"

Design Requirements:

To have custom U-Trough conveyor designed to your specifications, you need to consider the following factors:

• Capacity and type of grain material.
• Length of conveyor required
• Drive required. Determined by capacity and length. The drive will be mounted at the discharge end unless otherwise specified. Special instructions for intake drive or side mounted drive should be noted.
• Internal bearings are used on all U-Trough. Wood is recommended in most conditions.
• End plate - Most U-troughs require an end plate with bearing at the end away from the drive. For a direct feed out of a trough, an internal bearing may be used instead.
• Inlet - U-Trough installations will require at least one inlet, some will require several.
• Outlet - All U-Troughs will require one outlet. Where the U-trough is used to fill several bins, multiple outlets may be required.
