Auger flights are core components in industries such as screw conveyors, drilling machines, and mixing equipment. The forming quality of these flights directly impacts the conveying efficiency and durability of the equipment. So, how to choose a proper auger flight forming machine is crucial for manufacturers.
Understand the two machine types
Before making a selection, it is essential to clarify which type of auger flight forming machine is required. Shuliy offers two equipment models to meet diverse processing needs:
Type 1: Single screw flight forming machine
Ideal for processing thick plates and high-hardness materials such as carbon steel, stainless steel, and wear-resistant plates.
Processing thickness: 8–30mm
Wide diameter range
Ideal for heavy-duty industries like mining machinery and mixers
Type 2: Continuous auger flight forming machine
Suitable for mass-producing conveyor flights with fast forming speed and precise pitch.
Processing thickness: 2–6mm
Capable of continuous roll forming
Suitable for grain conveyors, environmental equipment, and similar industries
Select based on material and thickness
Different materials and thicknesses determine the machine model you need.
2–6mm thin steel strip → Choose a continuous cold rolling machine
8–30mm thick plate → Choose a single-piece auger spiral screw blade making machine
Determine machine model based on blade diameter and pitch
Larger spiral blade diameters and wider pitches impose higher pressure and mold requirements on machinery.
Shuliy offers:
- Small-diameter continuous blades (15–150mm)
- Large-diameter auger flights (200–700mm)
- Customizable bore and pitch
If your industry requires special pitches or thickened flights, select models supporting customization.
Consider automation and production efficiency
When buying the high-efficiency auger flight forming machine, customers pay attention to:
- Whether it features automatic feeding
- Whether it supports continuous forming
- Whether operation is straightforward
Continuous equipment suits high-volume production, while single-piece models are better for multi-specification, small-batch processing. To reduce labor costs, selecting a model with higher automation is most suitable.
Evaluate equipment maintenance and spare parts supply
The auger flight forming machine is long-term use equipment requiring regular maintenance of core components such as molds, rollers, and spindles.
When selecting equipment, confirm the following:
- Whether molds are wear-resistant
- Whether spare parts can be supplied quickly
- Remote technical support availability
Shuliy provides comprehensive spare parts and technical guidance to ensure long-term stable operation.
