Spiral Conveyor (Food Processing)

Spiral conveyors are ideal for elevating products in a restricted space. Also known as spiral or case lifts, spiral elevators and spiral lowerators, spiral conveyors can be designed to carry products between floors and machines or over aisles. The spiral design is compact when compared with other vertical lift equipment and conveying designs. Featuring a uniform slope, spiral conveyors offer smooth operation without disturbing the product. A continuously moving table top gently elevates or lowers the product. Spiral conveyors can be delivered in galvanized or stainless steel versions that are suitable for wash down applications. Manufacturers offer a wide variety of slats or belts. Slats approved for food handling are available and can be made for low temperature and freezer applications. Spiral conveyors offer a space efficient way to allow products to cool prior to further processing or packaging.
