Sectional auger flighting designed for attachment via welding offers a practical solution for constructing or repairing screw conveyors. This method typically involves helical segments fabricated from steel, which are then affixed to a central pipe or shaft through welding. This adaptable approach allows for customization of conveyor length and pitch, accommodating diverse material handling needs, from agricultural grains to industrial minerals. An example includes attaching hardened flighting segments to a worn conveyor shaft, effectively extending its lifespan.
The ability to replace worn sections without replacing the entire screw conveyor significantly reduces downtime and maintenance costs. Historically, this segmented approach arose from the need to transport materials efficiently across longer distances and through challenging environments. The durability and adaptability of welded construction allowed for the creation of robust conveyor systems capable of handling heavy loads and abrasive substances. This flexibility extends to customizing the flighting’s thickness and pitch, optimizing performance based on the specific material being conveyed.
