CO-Type Screws (Worm-On-Pipe)

CO-Type screw conveyors, also known as Worm-On-Pipe, are an advanced solution for conveying materials in various industries. These screws, designed to be robust and efficient, can be customised according to specific customer requirements.

In the following, we will explore the main features, advantages and applications of CO-Type screws, highlighting how they can improve operational efficiency in various sectors. 

Characteristics of CO-Type (Worm-On-Pipe) augers

CO-Type screws are manufactured using high-quality materials such as carbon steel and 304/316 stainless steel. These materials guarantee durability and strength, making the screws suitable for a variety of operating conditions.

Used materials:

  • Stainless steel 304/316: stainless steel 304 is corrosion resistant, while steel 316 offers superior corrosion resistance, particularly useful in aggressive environments and in the food and pharmaceutical industries.
  • Carbon steel: this material is known for its strength and durability, ideal for applications requiring high mechanical resistance.

Size and specifications

CO-Type augers are customisable on request, allowing them to meet specific customer requirements. Dimensions and specifications may include:

  • Outer diameter (Ø D): on request
  • Pitch (P): constant or variable
  • Inside diameter (Ø d): on request
  • Thickness (Spp): on request

These flexible specifications allow the screws to be adapted to a wide range of applications, ensuring efficiency and versatility.

Available finishes

CO-Type screws offer a wide range of finishes to meet different operational and environmental requirements:

  • MIG or TIG welding
  • Painting
  • Glass bead blasting
  • Electropolishing
  • Anti-wear coating
  • Conical pitch screws
  • Balancing

These finishing options improve the durability, appearance and performance of augers in various applications.

Shaft joints

Upon request, CO-Type screws can be supplied complete with shaft couplings, facilitating installation and integration into existing systems. This feature adds a further level of customisation and practicality.

Advantages of CO-Type Screw Conveyors (Worm-On-Pipe)

CO-Type augers offer numerous advantages over other material handling solutions. Some of the main advantages include:

  1. Customisation: the ability to customise sizes, specifications and finishes allows the screws to be adapted to the specific needs of each application, improving operational efficiency.
  2. Durability and reliability: the choice of high quality materials such as carbon steel and stainless steel ensures long life and consistent reliability.
  3. Corrosion resistance: 304/316 stainless steel offers excellent corrosion resistance, making the screws suitable for chemically aggressive environments and hygienic applications.
  4. Transport efficiency: the design of the CO-Type screws ensures continuous and uniform transport of materials, minimising waste and blockages.
  5. Flexibility in use: finishing options and the ability to supply shaft couplings offer greater flexibility in applications, allowing specific operational needs to be met.
  6. Simplified maintenance: the screws are designed for easy installation and maintenance, reducing downtime and operating costs.
