Would it be better to use for a zero slump concrete such as in a landscape curbing machine where the aggregate is sand? Trying to develop a good alternative to a plunger style curbing machine.
for applications where you're wanting to move material out of a liquid. The open center allows the fluid to remain in place while the material is extracted. I've seen them used in large machining equipment to extract shavings from the cutting lubricant/coolant, but they are also popular in sewage treatment facilities as well.
Have you ever seen a shaft conveyor try to bend around a slight incline , obviously impossible , However it can be done with a spring steel shaftless screw .Also you have no clogging or wrapping of debris when dealing with screening . They are more expensive however .
Below a list of the main benefits to the shaftless spiral conveyors: - Intended for the transport of difficult, stringy, spongy, sticky, wet, lumpy materials - suitable for a wide range of moisture contents and viscosities. - The shaftless spiral conveyor has a high volume capacity for a small cross section. - No intermediate or end bearings. - Complex geometries and limited space easily satisfied. - High resistance to corrosion provides for very long equipment life expectancy in the harshest of conditions. - Low RPM for long life expectancy. - Liners are the only wear component in a shaftless screw conveyor. The DURAFLO® Type SPX liner has a built-in wear indicator with a snap-in, snap-out feature, making it as painless as possible when the time comes to replacing the liner. - Totally enclosed troughs for odor 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. - The forgiving operation allows for a wide capacity range. - Custom designed to match field equipment.
If you include a hydroplane on the surface of the tube it will increase flow for smooth running.

Can we use this for dry river sand
Yes, you can transport dry river sand with shaftless spiral conveyors.

Just to show some thing different but as such one thing to save material
