On the production line
See the fit. Watch the flow.
Watch an AddPack timing screw guide jars through the machine. Take a closer look at the installed part, the container and the guides around it.
Use cases
Controlled movement. Precise transfer.
Timing screws coordinate product movement, spacing and orientation across demanding packaging applications.
Spacing and pitch control
Meter products into a controlled spacing for downstream machinery.
Acceleration or deceleration
Transition container pitch and timing between process stages.
Combining and dividing
Manage product flow and lane transitions around the application.
Product orientation
Rotate or present suitable containers to a required position.
Twin screw arrangements
Control and guide containers with paired, synchronised screws where needed.
Engineering & configurations
Designed around your machine.
The geometry is evaluated against the container, transfer and machine interface. Where useful, the component can be optimised rather than copied.
Available approaches
Constant-pitch screws
For applications requiring a consistent feed interval.
Variable-pitch profiles
Tailored transitions in container spacing or motion.
Single or twin-screw systems
Geometry selected around the container and machine interface.
Segmented screw assemblies
Practical construction for longer or machine-specific installations.
Replacement or new-format design
Reverse engineer an existing screw or develop geometry from a new application.
Performance & assurance
Timing screws meter, space, divide, accelerate, decelerate and present containers through a packaging line. The pitch profile, mounting arrangement and material are selected around the actual container, transfer and line duty.
Quality & inspection
Critical geometry, interfaces and the selected assembly method are checked against the agreed design before dispatch. The validated digital manufacturing specification is retained for controlled repeat production.

Good to know
Questions before you start?
Common starting points for specifying and ordering made-to-fit parts.
What can a timing screw do besides spacing containers?
Depending on the container and surrounding machine equipment, profiles can control pitch, accelerate or decelerate, separate flow or orient a product. The feasible movement must be confirmed for the application.
Can AddPack design a screw if the original CAD is unavailable?
A physical part, photographs, dimensions, shaft arrangement, container information and machine requirements can provide an engineering starting point. Critical geometry and interfaces still require validation.
Are segmented timing screws possible?
Segmented construction can be considered where length, assembly or manufacturing requirements justify it. The joining and retention method are selected against the application and machine interfaces.
Can I order the same part again without starting engineering from scratch?
After a design has been validated and its manufacturing specification retained, repeat supply can normally reference the approved design. Changes in duty, material or fit may still require review.
Can I submit photos instead of CAD files?
Yes. Photographs and machine details are useful for starting a technical discussion. Additional dimensions or sample parts may be requested before a final manufacturing specification can be released.
How are lead times confirmed?
Lead times depend on geometry, quantities, material availability, finishing and required validation. AddPack confirms a project-specific delivery commitment when reviewing a quote request.
