Custom sectional screw flights for augers and screw conveyors, manufactured using cold press forming technology. Available in carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steel and wear-resistant steel, with dimensions tailored to your project requirements.
What Are Sectional Flights?
Sectional flights are individual helical segments formed from steel plate. Each segment is shaped to achieve the required diameter, pitch and thickness, allowing multiple flights to be assembled into a complete screw conveyor or auger.
Unlike continuous flighting, sectional flights are manufactured as separate pieces, making them suitable for applications requiring custom dimensions and specific flight configurations. They can be used in equipment for agriculture, mining, construction and bulk material handling, depending on the application requirements.
Our sectional screw flights are produced using die-based cold press forming and can be manufactured according to customer drawings and project requirements.
Sectional Flighting vs. Helicoid Flighting
Sectional flighting and helicoid flighting are both used in screw conveyors and augers, but they differ in how they are manufactured and assembled.
Sectional flights are formed as individual segments from steel plate, typically maintaining uniform thickness from the inner diameter to the outer diameter. These segments can be joined to create a complete screw, making sectional flighting a practical option for custom dimensions, thicker materials and individual flight replacement.
Helicoid flighting is continuously formed from steel strip, making it suitable for longer spiral lengths and consistent flight profiles. The most suitable option depends on your equipment design, material requirements and operating conditions.
| Comparison | Sectional Flighting | Lot helikoidalny |
|---|---|---|
| Manufacturing Process | Die-Based Cold Press Forming | Continuous Forming |
| Flight Construction | Individual Segments | Continuous Spiral |
| Thickness Profile | Uniform Thickness | Typically Varies Across Width |
| Custom Dimensions | Based on Customer Drawings | Based on Required Flight Profile |
| Thick Plate Applications | Often Suitable | Depends on Forming Capability |
| Replacement | Individual Sections Possible | Often Longer Continuous Lengths |
| Typical Applications | Custom Augers, Screw Conveyors | Continuous Augers, Screw Conveyors |
Note: Actual manufacturing capabilities and product suitability depend on material grade, dimensions, equipment design and operating conditions.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What are sectional flights used for?
Sectional flights are used in screw conveyors, augers and other material handling equipment. Individual helical segments can be assembled to form a complete screw, with dimensions and configurations tailored to specific equipment requirements.
2. What is the difference between sectional flighting and helicoid flighting?
Sectional flighting is formed from individual steel plate segments, typically with uniform thickness across each flight. Helicoid flighting is produced as a continuous spiral, generally with thickness variations between the inner and outer edges.
Sectional flights are often selected for projects requiring specific dimensions, thicker materials or individual flight segments.
3. Can sectional flights be manufactured to custom dimensions?
Yes. We offer sectional flights manufactured according to customer drawings and specifications, including outside diameter (OD), inside diameter (ID), pitch and thickness.
Manufacturing feasibility depends on the dimensions, material and forming requirements.
4. What materials are available for sectional screw flights?
Available material categories include carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel and wear-resistant steel.
The appropriate material depends on operating conditions, mechanical requirements and the material being conveyed. Specific steel grades can be reviewed during quotation.
5. How are sectional screw flights manufactured?
Our sectional flights are produced using die-based cold press forming. Steel plate blanks are shaped into individual helical segments using hydraulic forming equipment.
The forming process is selected according to the required flight dimensions and material specifications.
6. Can you manufacture replacement sectional auger flights?
We can review replacement flight requirements based on technical drawings or measurements of existing components.
Please provide the outside diameter, inside diameter, pitch, thickness, flight direction and required quantity so that manufacturing feasibility can be assessed.
7. What information is needed to request a sectional flight quotation?
For an accurate quotation, please provide:
– Outside diameter (OD) and inside diameter (ID)
– Pitch and flight thickness
