Making an Auger (feed conveyor) from Washers ...and mathematics!

Ғылым және технология

Here is the link to the spreadsheet I wrote to do the calculations (no signup required): / 41672326
The pitch of the screw and circumference of the circle on the diameter make two sides of a right-angled triangle. Solving the hypotenuse with Pythagoras gives the the length of the helical path at this diameter, knowing the ratio of the inner and outer diameters allows you to calculate the radii of the annular ring that fits both helical paths.

    Sir I just found your video and I had to write you. My daughter dose pottery and has been telling me she needs a pug mill, no not the ugly dogs, to grind up scrap clay and I had no idea how to do it. Now with your site she just might get one for Christmas. That saves about $4000. Thank you so much. Keep posting and God bless.

    These calculators are all over the internet for calculating the flighting for screw augers yet they don’t match your results. Obviously yours is correct. Excellent video! Thanks.

    Namaskaram Dear sir, this video shaved me from confusion and faulty formulation as well as resources with time in R&D work. your spreadsheet is so precise, effortlessly we can find the exact OD & ID of the washers to make augers (screw bush). Thank you for your initiatives to this video and spreadsheet broadcasting.🙏

    Excellent video thank you, a slightly different take on a screw conveyor. We often make them from a single piece of thin flat bar put in an appropriate round tube. One end of the flat bar is clamped in a vise and the other end twisted with a monkey wrench. The tubing helps keep it linear as you twist. The end result does not have the center spindle and hubs or stub shafts need to be welded on, but it works very well for granular delivery or chip conveyance.

    I made one years ago. I didn’t know the math and I couldn’t even find it probably due to the words I Googled. I bought big washers from the hardware store, cut them and welded a few together. I then stretched them out and tried different round stock to find what fit. After that I drilled out the washers inner diameter larger to use a larger rod in the center. I then sanded down the outside until it fit into the pipe. 2 different approaches with the same results.
