Tech/Engineering
French term or phrase: vis flaconnage
used to describe the "screw" which serves to feed bottles onto a conveyer/production/filling line. There are several types of screws and the "vis flaconnage" is used with smaller bottles.

Any ideas??

English translation:"endless screw"
Explanation:
As far as I can remember from my robotics lessons, this kind of screws are used to transfer/convey parts from one place to an other.
From the context, I understand that these screws have nothing to do with "screwed caps". Do they?
