Screw Section Designs
Styles of Screw Sections
Different applications will require different styles of screw sections.
Full Pitch
Standard design, used for conveying material horizontally or on slight inclines.
Half Pitch
Used in screw feeders, also in conveyors where material is being conveyed up an incline.
Double Flight Full Pitch
Used in conveyors where an even discharge of materials is required.
Ribbon Flight
Used in conveyors to convey sticky materials.
Cut Flight
Used in conveyors where mixing materials is desired.
Varied Pitch Flight
Used in screw feeders, short pitch below inlet, full pitch beyond to allow material loading to drop.
Cone Screw with Varied Pitch Flight
Used in screw feeders where an even loading across the inlet length is desired.
