What Is Auger Flighting? Types, Uses, and Applications in Bulk Material Handling

Auger flighting plays a crucial role in bulk material handling systems across multiple industries. Simply put, auger flighting refers to the helical blades or spiral-shaped sections that move materials through a screw conveyor or auger system. These flights are responsible for the controlled and efficient movement of bulk materials such as grains, powders, or aggregates.

There are several types of auger flights, each designed for specific applications:

  • Sectional flights – made from flat steel plates, ideal for short conveyors and heavy-duty use.
  • Continuous flights – formed from a single piece of metal for smooth, consistent conveying.
  • Ribbon flights – used when materials need gentle handling or mixing.
  • Tapered or variable pitch flights – help regulate material flow and prevent clogging.
