SR-Type Continuous Flighting

Continuous metal spirals, also known as screw conveyors, are essential components in many industries.

These metal structures, used for material handling, are designed for efficiency and reliability. In particular, SR-Type metal augers represent an advanced solution, suitable for various operational requirements.

Let's take a detailed look at their characteristics, advantages and possible applications.

Features of SR-type Continuous flighting

SR-type metal augers are made of carbon steel or 304/316 stainless steel. This choice of materials ensures a long service life and high resistance to various external influences, making the augers suitable even for extreme operating conditions.

Used materials:

  • Stainless steel 304/316: chosen for applications where corrosion resistance is crucial, such as in the food, chemical and pharmaceutical industries. 316 steel, in particular, offers greater corrosion resistance than 304.
  • Carbon steel: ideal for applications requiring strength and durability. It is cost-effective and offers good performance in non-corrosive environments.

Size and specifications

SR-Type spirals are available in standard sizes ready for delivery, with the possibility of customised sizes on request. The available dimensions are as follows:

  • Outer diameter (Ø D): From 50 to 700 mm
  • Pitch (P): Up to 1/2 D
  • Inside diameter (Ø d): For standard pipes (inch sizes)
  • Thickness (Spp): 3 to 20 mm

These specifications allow the spirals to be adapted to a wide range of applications, providing flexibility and versatility in use.

Right-hand (RH) or left-hand (LH) pitch

SR-Type spirals are available with either right (RH) or left (LH) pitch, offering further options to suit the specific needs of each application. This feature is important to ensure the correct movement of materials, depending on the required direction of rotation.

Advantages of SR-Type continuous metal spirals

SR-Type metal spirals offer numerous advantages over other material transport solutions. Some of the main advantages include:

  1. Transport efficiency: thanks to their helical design, the spirals ensure continuous and uniform transport of materials, minimising waste and blockages.
  2. Versatility: different material options, sizes and pitches make SR-Type augers suitable for a variety of industries, from the food industry to the chemical and mining industries.
  3. Durability and reliability: the choice of high quality materials and precision manufacturing guarantee a long service life and constant reliability.
  4. Easy maintenance: the augers are designed for easy installation and maintenance, reducing downtime and operating costs.
