The tube containing the auger is referred to as barrel and is most commonly manufactured by a spiral welding process. It might also be made by the “cut and shut” method where plate is rolled and then seam welded. Also available in Smooth Barrel.

A screw conveyor or auger conveyor is a mechanism that uses a rotating helical screw blade, called a “flighting”, usually within a tube, to move liquid or granular materials. They are used in many bulk handling industries.
