Our market-leading technology delivers long-term, defensible, competitive advantages in sectional helix flight manufacturing—empowering our clients to stay ahead in a demanding and evolving industry.
Safety...
The highest Safety. Eliminating many of the primary causes of injury that were identified by an industry incident survey which covered the last 30 years.
Training...
This only takes 2 days for commissioning the machine, a full safety induction and comprehensive operator training to completion within 3 days.
Speed...
Taking as little as 25 seconds per Helix formed for straightforward items.
True Form...
True Form helices ensure that the flange is always perpendicular (90 degrees) to the shaft, keeping the internal edge parallel to the shaft, this ensures an accurate fit-up to the shaft for a perfect job.
Adjustability...
Ultra-adjust-ability and flexibility are the primary features of all Helix Flight machines. Each machine is manufactured to offer a broad range of options in the production of a formed helix, each with an extremely wide range of sizes and differing specifications. Also, the machines are designed for a swift set-up between jobs, and features that adjust within seconds to allow for the variable changes experienced with the different types of Steel, Hardox and Abrasive Resistant material blanks.
Whole-of-Life Machine Costs...
The expected service life of a Helix Flight machine is 25 years, or 1,000,000 Helices manufactured, with planned low-maintenance.
NO high tensile raised blades which mark helices and compromise safety
NO helix grab kinks and no risk of pitch and fit-up issues due to post forming stress release problems
NO tags and cut-aways required for forming tapered, notched, or legged, helices
NO time-wasting manual set-up adjustments, and NO throw-away items while dialling-in on precise settings
NO Shims or Packers required for forming Abrasion Resistant materials
