Screw Conveyor Flight (AR plate)

AR Plate Screw Conveyor Flights for Industrial Blasting

In a shot blasting machine, the screw conveyor continuously transports spent abrasive, dust, scale, and other contaminants away from the blast zone. The flighting—the helical blade of the screw—is subject to intense sliding abrasion. Standard mild steel flights wear rapidly, leading to unplanned downtime and reduced conveying efficiency.

SPA2Z addresses this by offering screw conveyor flights fabricated from AR (Abrasion-Resistant) plate. AR plate is a high-carbon, alloy steel with a through-hardened microstructure, providing significantly higher hardness and wear resistance compared to structural steel. This makes it the preferred material choice for shot blast machine screw conveyors, directly translating to longer replacement intervals and lower total cost of ownership.

Key Features of Our AR Plate Screw Flights

• Superior Wear Life: AR plate construction resists the gouging and erosion common in abrasive media handling, extending flight life by a factor of 2-3x over mild steel in typical applications.
• Consistent Performance: Maintains its profile and conveying capacity for longer, ensuring consistent media recovery and machine productivity.
• Direct Replacement: Manufactured to replace worn OEM flights in popular shot blasting machine brands. We work from your sample or dimensional drawings.
• Reduced Maintenance Downtime: Fewer change-outs mean more machine uptime and lower annual spare parts expenditure.

Ensuring the Correct Fit for Your Machine

An exact fit is non-negotiable for screw conveyor flights. The flight must match the screw's outer diameter, inner (shaft) diameter, pitch, thickness, and rotational direction (hand). To avoid costly ordering errors, we request the following information with your enquiry:

• Shot blasting machine make and model (e.g., Wheelabrator, Pangborn, Sisson Lehmann, etc.)
• Overall screw diameter (OD) and shaft diameter (ID)
• Flight pitch and thickness
• Direction of rotation (right-hand or left-hand)
• Quantity of flights required

If you have a worn sample or a technical drawing, we can manufacture an exact match. Our team provides a technical compatibility check before any quotation is finalized.
