We are HELiCA
HELiCA Fördertechnik GmbH is a manufacturer specialized in the production of screw flights with over 80 years of experience in this product area. The company advises, plans and designs screw flights individually to customer specifications using CAD. Cutting is carried out on modern laser cutting systems, with chipless forming by cold forming on eccentric and hydraulic presses; as a result, the material thickness remains uniform across the entire flight cross-section. Production is carried out from construction and stainless steel, temperature-resistant and wear-resistant steels such as Hardox 400 or Creusabro 4800, as well as Hastelloy, platinum, titanium and aluminium. HELiCA screw flights are used wherever material is conveyed, drilled, dosed, mixed or crushed, particularly in conveying technology. Production in Mühlheim am Main is largely digitized; delivery is made on schedule via the company's own in-house forwarding operation.
