A New Concept.
Spiral Conveyors represent a new concept in vertical conveying, based on a proprietary low friction chain slat arrangement. Spirals are attractive because they have a higher throughput capacity, require less space, generate less noise, consume less energy, cost less to install, need less maintenance and have a longer life compared to conventional methods. Spiral conveyors are also known as spiral or case lifts, spiral elevators, and spiral lowerators. |
High Throughput
Spirals convey loads up or down in a continuous flow, thereby facilitating high throughput. The standard load capacity is 75 pounds per linear foot of conveyor for speeds up to 200 feet per minute. |
One Drive
Spiral Conveyors need only one drive motor, even for units several stories tall. This equals to substantial savings in controls and systems integrations. |
Small Footprint
Spiral Conveyors have the smallest footprint available and therefore provide substantial space savings compared to conventional methods. Several standard sizes are available and the outside diameter varies depending on the size of loads to be handled. |
Proprietary Chain Slat Arrangement
An innovative chain slat arrangement facilitates low friction operation. The conveyor slats are supported by precision steel roller bearings which ride on a polyurethane guide surface. The guides are embedded in an extruded aluminum profile which in turn supports the spiral track. This arrangement efficiently takes up the side forces caused by a tight radius and at the same time increases the load carrying capacity of the chain. This arrangement also facilitates smooth operation, high speed, low noise level and long life. |
Overlapping Slats
The overlapping slats provide a smooth efficient conveying surface suitable for a wide variety of load types and sizes. The slats are made of a fiberglass reinforced Polyamide and are available in widths of 8 inch, 12 inch, 16 inch, 20 inch and 26 inch. The slats can also be furnished with friction inserts to accommodate slick products such as plastic totes or frozen items. |
Low Angle of Incline
The standard angle of incline is between 9 and 11 degrees which safeguards against loads sliding or tumbling during operation. |
Easy to Install
Most spirals are shipped in one piece, pre-assembled and pre-tested, thereby drastically reducing the time and cost of installation. |
Low Maintenance
Spiral Conveyors are designed for low maintenance and long life. Only high quality components requiring little maintenance are used throughout. The roller bearings are sealed and lubricated for life. The chain is of a heavy-duty chrome plated construction. The slats and carriers need no maintenance and can easily be replaced as single components without the use of special tools. |
Several Spiral Conveyor Models
Spiral Conveyors are of modular design and are available in several standard versions to accommodate a broad range of loads on applications. The spirals go up or down and can be made reversible. All models can have extended in or outfeed, making Spiral Lifts easy to fit in most layouts. |
