Reinforced Rib Screw Flight (Internally Braced Spiral Blade)

Product Overview

Reinforced Rib Screw Flights feature an innovative internal bracing system that significantly enhances structural integrity while maintaining standard external dimensions. These heavy-duty spiral blades incorporate strategically placed reinforcement ribs along the inner circumference, providing exceptional strength for demanding material handling applications without increasing overall flight thickness.

Structural Advantages

1. Integrated Rib Reinforcement - Internal web structures provide 40-60% greater torsional strength

2. Maintained External Profile - Standard outer dimensions with enhanced internal support

3. Optimized Weight Distribution - Balanced design prevents vibration at high speeds

4. Dual-Material Construction - Option for different materials in core and reinforcement

5. Modular Reinforcement - Adjustable rib spacing based on load requirements
