Augers, Flighting, and Components

Severe Duty Shot Blast Distribution Screw:

This auger assembly was built for severe duty due to the customer’s extremely abrasive operating environment. Upgrades include extra heavy wall A4140 H.T. tubing, AR-420 BHN flighting vs. original A36 mild steel, and A4140 H.T. stub & drive shaft - extended in length for better weight distribution.

The result was an increase in service life from 9 months to 31 months.

Chromium Carbide Overlay Auger Section:

This removable auger section was upgraded from A36 mild steel to 3/4" Thk. (3/8” on 3/8”) Chromium Carbide Overlay for better material conveying in this particular sand/shot environment.

Service life was increased from 12 months to 30 months.

Shot Blast Scalping Drum Assembly:

Scalping drum assemblies can be rebuilt complete, or in stages. Screen sections can be upgraded from OEM A36 mild steel to 40 Rc. abrasion resistant wire or 11-14% Austenitic Manganese Steel - depending on the application, with an increase/decrease in opening size for better flow control. Outer flighting is available in A36 mild steel, 11-14% Austenitic Manganese Steel, or AR-400 BHN.

Variable Pitch Shot Blast Auger:

This completed auger assembly utilizes a variable right hand / left hand pitch in order to convey material away from the initial flow entrance.

Upgrades of AR-400 BHN on the flighting and A4140 H.T. for the stub shafts (drive and idler) were used to increase the service life.

Scalping Drum Rebuild:

Scalping drum assemblies can be rebuilt complete, or in stages. Screen sections can be upgraded to 40 Rc. abrasion resistant wire, with an increase/decrease in opening size for better flow control. Outer flighting is available in A36 mild steel, 11-14% "Hadfield Grade" Austenitic Manganese Steel, or AR-400 BHN.

Replacement Auger Stub Shafts:

Auger Stub Shafts are available in standard C1045 or A4140 H.T. material depending on the application. Lengths and O.D. may be adjusted to match auger load requirements.

Stub shafts are also available in various mounting configurations (weld-in, bolt-on, etc.)

Replacement Auger Flighting:

Flighting sections are available in a wide variety of materials including 11-14% Austenitic Manganese Steel, AR-400 BHN, Stainless Steel, and A36 mild steel.

In many instances, worn flighting may be replaced during shutdowns, without the removal of the entire auger assembly. This savings in time and labor cost can contribute to a more productive shutdown.

Scalping Drum Rebuild Kit:

Custom rebuild kits can be made available including flighting, screen sections (pre-rolled to exact customer requirements), and stub shafts for scheduled shutdown rebuilds.
