Basic Conveyor Flight and Pitch Types

Standard Pitch, Single Flight

Standard Pitch Single Flight

Conveyor screws with pitch equal to screw diameter are considered standard.  They are suitable for a wide range of materials in most conventional applications.

Half Pitch, Single Flight

Half Pitch Single Flight

Similar to short pitch, except pitch is reduced to 1/2 standard pitch.  Useful for vertical or inclined applications, for screw feeders & for handling extremely fluid materials.

Variable Pitch, Single Flight

Variable Pitch Single Flight

Flights have increasing pitch & are used in screw feeders to provide uniform with- drawal of fine, free flowing materials over the full length of the inlet opening.

Tapered, Standard Pitch, Single Flight

Tapered Standard Pitch Single Flight

Screw Flights increase from 2/3 to full diameter.  Used in screw feeders to provide uniform with- drawal of lumpy materials.  Generally equivalent to and more economical than variable pitch.

Cut & Fold Flight, Standard Pitch

Cut & Fold Flight Standard Pitch

Folded flights segments lift and spill the material.  Partially retarded flow provides thorough mixing action.  Excellent for heating, cooling or aerating light substances.

Standard Pitch With Paddles

Standard Pitch With Paddles

Adjustable paddles positioned between screw flights oppose flow to provide gentle but through mixing action.

Short Pitch, Single Flight

Short Pitch Single Flight

Flight pitch is reduced to 2/3 diameter.  Recommended for inclined or vertical applications.  Used in screw feeders.  Shorter pitch retards flushing of materials which fluidize.

Long Pitch, Single Flight

Long Pitch Single Flight

Pitch is equal to 1-1/2 diameters.  Useful for agitating fluid materials or for rapid movement of very free flowing materials

Double Flight, Standard Pitch

Double Flight Standard Pitch

Double flight, standard pitch screws provide smooth, regular material flow and uniform movement of certain types of materials.

Single Cut-Flight, Standard Pitch

Single Cut-Flight Standard Pitch

Screws are notched at regular intervals at outer edge.  Affords mixing action & agitation of material in transit. Useful for moving materials which tend to pack.

Single Flight Ribbon

Single Flight Ribbon

Excellent for conveying sticky or viscous materials. Open space between flighting & pipe eliminates collection and build-up of material

Paddle

Paddle Screw

Adjustable paddles provide complete mixing action & controlled material flow
