Conveyor screw with pitch spacing equal to the diameter are considered standard and are suitable for most augers of conventional horizontal design.
Half pitch conveyors are recommended for inclined or vertical conveying and for materials which are very free flowing.
The screw flight periphery is notched to supplement the conveying action with a moderate mixing action.
Ribbon flights are excellent for sticky or gummy materials where the gap between the screw and the pipe prevent material build-up.
Double pitch flights produce a smooth gentle flow, and assist in removing product from hoppers, or post hole digging.
Flights with pitch progressively increased are used to draw fine, free flowing materials uniformly from the entire length of the feed opening.
Ribbon flights are excellent for sticky or gummy materials where the gap between the screw and the pipe prevent material build-up.
