Steel Flights manufactures continuous auger flighting, also known as shaftless auger flighting , in a large range of thicknesses and diameters.In a shaftless auger, the flighting is directly attached to the outer casing or trough. This design has several advantages, including:

• Improved Conveyance of Materials: The absence of a central shaft allows for a larger open space for material to move through, reducing the risk of clogging. It’s particularly effective for conveying sticky, viscous, or fibrous materials.
• Reduced Maintenance: Since there is no central shaft, there is less risk of material buildup around the shaft, reducing the need for frequent maintenance and cleaning.
• Flexibility in Design: Shaftless augers can be designed with various diameters and pitches to suit specific applications and materials.
• Easy Maintenance and Cleaning: The lack of a central shaft makes it easier to access and clean the conveyor, contributing to lower maintenance costs.

Shaftless augers are commonly used in wastewater treatment plants, industrial processes, and other applications where the conveyance of sludge, sticky substances, or large, irregularly shaped materials is required. Their design allows for efficient and reliable material transport while minimizing the risk of blockages and reducing maintenance efforts.
