Introduction
In the modern industrial world, augers and screw coils are widely used in various sectors of the economy. From the food industry to construction technology, these mechanical parts help automate processes, increase productivity, and reduce costs.
BVN-GROUP Engineering LLC from Minsk, Belarus, offers to buy augers and screw coils at low prices with fast delivery. In this article, we will talk about the types of screw coils, their production methods, technical features and applications.
What are screw coils and what are they used for?
Definition of the screw spiral
A screw spiral is a helical structure made in the form of a coil wound on a cylindrical axis. Such spirals are used to move, grind or mix various substances.
Why screw coils?
- Easy movement of materials: allows you to transport loose, coarse or viscous substances.
- Mixing support: components are mixed in technological processes.
- Mechanical processing: used in extrusion, crushers and other machines.
Application areas
- Food production (movement of flour, sugar, cereals)
- Construction industry (sand and cement movement)
- Mechanical engineering (plastic and metal extrusion)
- Chemical industry (waste and powder processing)
- Power supply (deepwater pumps)
Types of screw coils and screw coils
1. One-sided and two-sided coils
- One-way turn: rotating the screw in one direction moves the material forward.
- Two-way turn: allows you to switch directions.
2. The shape of the coil
- Smooth turn: for easily moving substances.
- Toothed coil: for coarse or viscous materials.
- Curved or spiral: in special cases to achieve unique effects.
3. Types of augers by design
There are several main types of augers, which differ in shape and principle of operation. The screw design is selected depending on the tasks of the equipment and the characteristics of the material being moved.
-
Piston augers are used for compressing and transporting materials, and are often used in the oil industry.
-
Parallel augers ensure uniform movement of raw materials and are widely used in the food industry.
-
Cone augers are designed to gradually increase the pressure of the material and are used in waste recycling equipment.
-
Trapezoidal augers are used for mixing and transporting various
