HF1 MD VX Ultra-Adjustable Flight Forming Machine

Outer Diameter (OD): From 200mm (8") up to 1,350mm (54").

With the purchase of a Small Diameter Adaptor Kit a larger-range of Helix Outer Diameters can be manufactured on this machine, starting from a tiny 50mm (2") up to 200mm (8") Outer Diameter.

At the 200mm (8") Outer Diameter point is where the smallest sized OD on the HF1 MD VX machine would usually begin.

Pitch: Extends up to 1,200mm (8")

Plate thicknesses:
Up to 32mm (1 1/4") in Mild Carbon Steel Grade 350, and Stainless Steel
Up to 16mm (5/8") in Hardox 450/500 HB (TUF) and other Abrasion Resistant plates

Helix Flight's forming machines are specifically designed to produce sectional helices cut from flat plate to make a "blank". Our advanced Helix Forming technologies allow for safe, simple and swift operation while delivering True Form helices at the lowest whole-of-life cost per helix produced.

Helix OD: From 200mm (8") up to 1,350mm (54")

Pitch: Up to 1,200mm (47")

Plate thickness:
Up to 32mm (1 1/4") in Mild Carbon Steel grade 350Mpa, and Stainless-Steel

Up to 16mm (5/8") in Hardox 450, and other types of Abrasion Resistant (AR) material blanks

HF1 MD VX Ultra-Adjustable Flight Forming Machine

Guidance above is subject to the conditions and limitations shown below:

  • Indicated machine ranges are based on 250Mpa Yield Strength Plate, and the Range of sizes will be affected by the varying Grades of material used.
  • Maximum Pitch is a function of the diameter to fit the shaft, and is limited accordingly
  • Extended diameter and pitch range may be achieved if the flange width is less than 25% of the diameter
  • The Pitch may be limited by the material thickness, which may be too thin to hold the correct form
  • Forming Abrasion Resistant material may require the use of special high-wear forming plates
  • Forming of Abrasion Resistant material may be limited by the forming force of the machine, limitations in pitch due to the material's increased spring back, and limitations of the material to stretch during forming without cracking
  • The maximum achievable plate thickness is subject to both the pitch to shaft diameter ratio, and the maximum flange width cross-sectional area for the respective machine being used

A Small Diameter Adaptor Kit is available for the HF1 MD series of machines. This gives an extended range of Helices that can be formed down to a tiny 50mm (2") Outer Diameter (OD), up to 200mm (8") OD where the smallest OD size of the HF1 MD series of machines usually starts.

Giving the flexibility and range of having two machines in just one,
with minimal extra expenditure!
