SHAFTLESS SCREW FLIGHTS
Main applications in the metallurgical industry
- Chip and machining waste management:
In machine tools (lathes, milling machines, CNC machining centers), shaftless spirals are perfect for evacuating metal chips. Long, stringy chips would easily wrap around the shaft of a standard screw conveyor, causing jams and machine downtime.
- Industrial wastewater and sludge treatment:
Foundries and metallurgical industries generally produce heavy sludge and wastewater loaded with residues (e.g., cooling liquids and emulsions mixed with metal dust). Shaftless spirals excel at transporting these dense, sticky sludges to filtration and water purification systems.
- Handling of blanking and stamping scraps:
They are used to remove sharp, irregular waste coming from stamping presses or sheet metal cutting processes.
- Conveying of scale and powders:
They are useful for handling highly abrasive materials, such as rolling scale, mill scale, or waste metal powders.
