Published On: November 16, 2023Categories: BlogTags:

At Carleton Helical Technologies (CHT), Feedscrews, also known as Timing Screws, are the foundation of our business. For decades, we have specialized in the engineering, design, and manufacturing of custom feedscrew solutions that help manufacturers optimize container handling, improve production efficiency, and increase packaging line performance.

Our team of experienced engineers utilizes proprietary design software developed in-house to create highly accurate feedscrew profiles and custom pockets for precise product control. This advanced engineering capability allows us to design timing screws that deliver smooth container flow, accurate product spacing, reliable orientation, and seamless integration with downstream packaging equipment.

What Are Feedscrews (Timing Screws)?

Feedscrews are precision-machined components used in automated packaging and manufacturing systems to control the movement, spacing, orientation, and positioning of containers and products. They play a critical role in packaging line automation by ensuring products are delivered accurately and consistently to filling, capping, labeling, inspection, coding, and other downstream processes.
