Re: Sectional Flights
Screw conveyor flights are either made :
1) in one pitch lengths by producing a developed profile which is then pressed
2) by a machine that forms flat strip into the required profile
Method (1) has a more or less constant flight thickness from ID to OD while method (2) results in the flights thinning in thickness from ID to OD.

Nice model. Can you post it to 3d Solid Content for all to appreciate? ■

Yes, it's wonderful what solid modelling software can do. But it's a shame that so often reality is a bit of a let down. ■

Thank you for your answer. Lenham has a quite expensive equipment. Is there another equipment for less capacity and cheaper? ■

Re: Sectional Flights
No idea.
If you can't afford the kit to make them you should buy them from established manufacturers.
A Google search will find you lots. ■

Flight Manufacture
Sectional flights require a forming tool approriate to the size of flight and a press to cause the deforation.
Then you have to secure the correct size of blank I/D and o/d to suit the screw shaft and get a bit of experience in manipulating the metal.
Programs are available for calculating the blanks. However, unless you are to seriously enter the business against estabished competition I would suggest that it is probably much more economical to but the parts from existing producers.

Good day.
I am looking for a machine-tool, that making screw flights like this.
