Pharmaceutical Augers

Stockcode:

Augers used in in the pharmaceutical process industry demand the highest integrity with the finest overall polish finish. Fabricated augers can suffer from many defects, some of which will present problems in any application. These defects, however, are most impacting within pharmaceutical and medical applications.
Pharmaceutical augers will traditionally be manufactured in stainless steel with the helicoid flights welded onto a central core. Fabrication has a few drawbacks:
The accuracy of the flights – Usually reliant on the “eye” of the welder/fabricator and can vary by large amounts. Variations in flight pitch and diameter affect the augers action in propelling product and can produce uneven flow patterns, affecting accuracy. Trantec Augers are manufactured using computer controlled machine tools and have accuracies within tolerances of 0.01 mm in diameter and pitch.
Two problems associated with welding austenitic stainless steel augers are sensitisation of the weld heat affected zone and hot cracking of weld metal.
