Component Specifications

Definition
Auger flighting is a helical screw component designed to move bulk materials laterally within transverse spreading augers or plows. It consists of a continuous spiral blade wrapped around a central shaft, engineered to provide controlled material flow, uniform distribution, and precise discharge patterns in industrial applications.
Working Principle
Operates on the screw conveyor principle: as the central shaft rotates, the helical blade creates axial displacement of material along the auger's length. The pitch, diameter, and helix angle determine material flow rate, mixing efficiency, and distribution uniformity.
Materials
Typically carbon steel (AISI 1018/1020), stainless steel (304/316), or abrasion-resistant alloys. Surface treatments include hot-dip galvanizing, powder coating, or hard-facing for wear resistance.
Technical Parameters
  • Pitch 80-400 mm
  • Diameter 100-500 mm
  • Helix Angle 15-30 degrees
  • Rotation Speed 50-300 RPM
  • Blade Thickness 3-12 mm
Standards
ISO 7119, DIN 15262
