What is flighting on an auger?

Flighting is cold rolled into continuous one-piece helicoid screw. It’s smooth, hard surface reduces friction wear and power requirements.

How is auger flighting measured?

The measurement from the outer edge of the auger’s rotation peak to the outer edge of the trough. We recommend using 3/4″ to 1″ smaller outside diameter than the tube the flighting will be installed into.

What is the pitch of an auger?

Auger pitch refers to the distance between corresponding points on consecutive turns of the auger flighting or the distance the conveyed material moves with one revolution of the auger. Most augers are standard pitch with pitch approximately equal to the auger diameter.

What is a double flight auger?

The Double Flight Auger has two flights on the auger set directly across from each other, allowing the auger to make contact with the concrete twice per revolution instead of once. As the concrete is moved by two flights, the auger lasts longer.

Which is the correct way to flight an auger?

Most augers move clockwise but some turn the other way. Be sure to check so you know whether to order right or left hand flighting. While most flighting is straight from the inside to the outside edge, some has a bit of a cup in it, which helps it to handle grain more gently.

How is sectional Auger flighting made in Princeton IL?

Sectional Auger Flighting. We manufacture sectional flighting by cutting blanks from plate metal and forming into individual one-pitch segments with precise outer diameter, inner diameter and pitch dimensions. We produce flighting in thicknesses ranging from 3/16″ to 1″ with the flight thickness maintained constant from inner to outer edge.

How big is a G and H Auger?

With a constant stock of flighting diameters ranging from 2″ to 24″, G&H maintains a comprehensive selection for most auger applications and offers quantity discounts on sizing combinations of 50ft or more. G&H is the only stocking distributor of an unrivaled new helicoid flighting product called UltraFlyte™.

What kind of stainless steel is used for Auger flighting?

Stainless Auger Flights – Helicoid and sectional flighting can be provided in stainless steel material. We sell 5′ or 10′ sections and offer same day shipping. Used in screw conveyors for moving bulk materials. Flighting is cold rolled into continuous one-piece helicoid screw. It’s smooth, hard surface reduces friction wear and power requirements.
