Short-Pitch Conveyor Screws

Short-Pitch conveyor screws are of regular construction except that the pitch of the flights is made less than the outside diameter of the screw.

These short-pitch screws are recommended for use in inclined screw conveyors of slopes 20° and over. They also are used extensively as feederscrews, especially as the feeder portion of a uniform diameter conveyor screw consisting of a section of short-pitch flights and the balance regular pitch. The cross-sectional loading of the regular pitch portion of the screw thus is controlled.
