Vertical Spiral Conveyor

A Vertical Spiral Conveyor is a specialized type of conveyor system designed to transport materials vertically between different levels of a facility. Unlike traditional conveyors that move materials horizontally, vertical spiral conveyors use a spiral path to lift or lower items between floors, making efficient use of vertical space. These conveyors typically consist of a helical conveyor belt or chain that moves materials upward or downward along a spiral path. 

Vertical spiral conveyors offer several advantages, including:

• Space Efficiency: By transporting materials vertically, these conveyors help maximize floor space utilization, allowing businesses to optimize their facility layout and storage capacity.

• Continuous Flow: Vertical spiral conveyors provide a continuous flow of materials between levels, ensuring smooth and efficient material handling processes.

• Versatility: These conveyors can accommodate a wide range of materials, including boxes, cartons, totes, and other items commonly found in warehouse and distribution environments.

• Improved Safety: Vertical spiral conveyors are designed with safety features to prevent accidents and ensure worker protection during material handling operations.

• Customization Options: Vertical spiral conveyors can be customized to meet specific application requirements, including height, capacity, speed, and integration with other conveyor systems.

The Vertical Spiral Conveyor finds extensive application in the automated handling, distribution, and post-packaging processes across a wide array of industries, including food, beverage, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, detergents, paper products, condiments, dairy, and tobacco.

• Warehousing and Distribution Centers: Vertical spiral conveyors are widely used in warehouses and distribution centers to transport goods between different levels of storage racks or mezzanine floors. They help optimize space utilization and streamline the movement of inventory, improving overall efficiency and throughput.

• Manufacturing Facilities: In manufacturing facilities, vertical spiral conveyors are used to transfer materials between production levels, such as moving products from assembly lines to packaging or storage areas. They facilitate smooth material flow and minimize the need for manual handling, reducing labor costs and increasing productivity.

• Food and Beverage Processing: Vertical spiral conveyors are employed in food and beverage processing plants to lift or lower products between different processing stages, such as transporting goods from ground level to elevated platforms for packaging or inspection. They are designed to meet strict hygiene standards and can handle a wide range of food products safely and efficiently.

• Retail and E-commerce Distribution: In retail and e-commerce distribution centers, vertical spiral conveyors are utilized to transfer items between floors for order fulfillment and shipping. They enable faster order processing and help meet the growing demand for rapid delivery in the retail industry.

• Airport Baggage Handling: Vertical spiral conveyors are integrated into airport baggage handling systems to transport luggage between different levels of the terminal, such as moving baggage from check-in areas to sorting facilities or loading zones. They contribute to the smooth and efficient operation of airport logistics, ensuring timely baggage delivery to passengers.

• Pharmaceutical and Healthcare: Vertical spiral conveyors play a crucial role in pharmaceutical and healthcare facilities, where they are used to transfer medications, medical supplies, and equipment between floors or processing areas. They help maintain product integrity and compliance with strict regulatory requirements in these highly regulated industries.

Spiral Technologies:

• Manufacturing Materials: Our spiral conveyors are crafted from powder-coated carbon steel, stainless steel, and feature an aluminum pillar construction.

• Chain Design: Utilizing anti-slippery high-strength special spiral chains, customized effective width, with four bearings at the bottom. The chains are made of POM material and are distinguishable by their upper blue color.

• Spiral Conveying Width: Available in widths of 200mm, 300mm, 400mm, and 600mm, with customization options up to 1200mm to suit specific needs.

• Vertical Spiral Application: Our spiral conveyors find applications in various industries including beverage, beer, cigarette, postal, newspaper, printing, food, pharmaceutical, logistics, electronics, and more.

• Conveyor Lifting Capacity (Single Motor): For carbon steel bottom chain, the maximum load is <750kg, and for stainless steel, it is <600kg.

Constructed from POM material and stainless steel, the conveyor chain plate of the spiral conveyor ensures durability and reliability.

There are two primary types of turning mechanisms utilized: wing turning and magnetic turning.

In the case of wing turning, the turning chain conveyor employs π-type turning chain plates as the conveying carrier. These plates run within specialized turning guides made of high molecular polyoxymethylene. Alternatively, stainless steel turning chain plates and magnetic turning guide rails are employed, ensuring that the conveying chain plate consistently operates within the designated guide rail. This setup guarantees stable operation and easy installation.
