Mechanical UNI Conveyor
Continuous, precise and safe transport of powders and bulk materials over long distances
The UNI mechanical conveyor is the ideal solution for controlled multi‑point transport and distribution of powders and granules in complex industrial systems.
Based on an internal chain equipped with discs and driven by a drive unit, this system enables:
- Mechanical movement of the material within a closed circuit, even over 200 metres;
- Multi‑point loading, transport and distribution of the material at different locations thanks to discharge systems (free fall, guillotine or rotary).

Main System Components
Load
Loading spout (LHG)
Simple and flexible gravity inlet, suitable for all conveyors.
Gravity dosing hopper (TRB)
Loading hopper with hatch for dosing the material entering the line.
Motorized hopper (LHM)
Hopper equipped with motorized screw for the metered material insertion into the line.
Unload
Free unloading
Simple, compact and economical, it allows the descent of the material
Discharge with knife gate closure
This discharge allows automatic selection for the distribution of the material and is activated by a pneumatic damper.
Rotary discharge
The rotary discharge, which can be operated automatically (both pneumatically and electrically), allows the selective descent of the material with simple or hermetic closure.
Components
Idel curve
All UNI system corners are non- motorized, and standard models come with angles of 45°, 90°, and 180°. Other angles are defined based on specific requirements.
Drive unit
The drive units impart motion to the chain within the system. A large-sized door allows the inspection of the interior. They can be installed in both indoor and outdoor environments. Chain tensioning is achieved through a spring or pneumatic piston.
Tangent curve
90° idle curve to facilitate the material flow.
Pipe joint
They are quick to install and guarantee the robustness of the connection as well as the prevention of dust escaping into the environment and electrical continuity for earthing.
Accessories
Diverter valve
Pneumatically operated valve that directs the material in one or the other direction.
Bridge braker
Special machine to avoid the formation of bridges in the material.
Rotary brushes
A set of rotating brushes for complete chain cleaning.
Sight glass
Optional transparent tube section to allow inspection of the rope or chain inside the line.
