Custom Conveyor Screw for Industrial Machinery image

Vipra AM’s Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing technology is well-suited for producing durable, custom conveyor screws for industrial machinery. In this case, Vipra AM used the XP model for 316 Stainless Steel deposition, providing a high-performance, long-lasting solution for the rigorous demands of industrial machinery and for the most demanding environments involving heavy loads and abrasive materials.

Material Selection: 316 Stainless Steel

316 Stainless Steel is an ideal choice for industrial applications due to its strength, corrosion resistance, and durability.

  • Corrosion Resistance: Excellent resistance to acids, chemicals, and saltwater, extending service life in harsh environments.
  • Strength and Durability: High tensile strength, enabling it to handle the heavy loads and abrasive materials common in conveyor systems.
  • Ease of Fabrication: Easily deposited, allowing for the creation of complex spiral geometries required for optimal performance in conveyor screws.

Key Benefits of Vipra AM’s WAAM Technology

  • Customization: Enables precise, custom designs to match specific operational needs, ensuring both strength and accuracy.
  • Reduced Material Waste: Minimizes material waste compared to traditional machining or casting.
  • Shorter Lead Times: Faster production cycles mean quicker turnaround than conventional methods.
