In many industries, from agriculture to processing, screw conveyor systems play a critical role. However, steel screws have one major drawback: they wear out quickly, especially when handling abrasive, wet, or bulk materials.
Problem: Abrasion of the coils. The steel coils are in constant contact with the material. This causes:
- The coils wear out
- Performance drops
- The load on the motor increases
- Vibration, noise and… regular repairs appear
Solution: Tekrone or polyurethane protective spiral
At IQ Composite LLC, we manufacture protective spirals that are mounted on an existing (even worn) auger. And this provides several advantages at once:
Advantages of a protective spiral:
- Protection of turns from abrasion (contact accepts plastic)
- Reduction of load on the engine
- Dampening of noise and vibrations
- Possibility of installation on worn screws
- Extension of service life by 2–3 times
- Less breakdowns and repairs = savings
We work according to your auger measurements
To ensure that the spiral fits perfectly, we manufacture it according to individual parameters: turn pitch, screw diameter, shaft diameter, length of the turn section.
What materials are we made from:
- Tekrone is a super-strong engineering plastic that is not afraid of loads, and works even in dusty or aggressive conditions.
- Polyurethane is flexible, elastic, excellent at damping vibrations, and resistant to shocks and abrasion.
We will not only manufacture, but also advise, help with installation, and provide support.
Tekrone and polyurethane spiral – when the auger works longer and you have peace of mind.
Contact us – you will receive a free consultation and calculation based on your parameters. Or you can calculate the cost of the spiral yourself in our spiral price calculator.
