Save valuable floor space and increase your throughput with the Single Lane Spiral Conveyor
The Apollo Single Lane Spiral Conveyor transports products up or down in a continuous flow, and has proven to be a very reliable concept in Vertical Conveying. The Single Lane Vertical Conveying System is designed to conserve valuable floor space, increase efficiency, streamline product flow and help reduce operational costs.
How it works
Our Vertical Spiral Conveyor consists of a slat-style conveyor belt that revolves around a centre column. It can be used for the vertical transportation of a wide range of products. They can help create an efficient production line or optimize multi-level order picking operations. By using a Vertical Spiral Conveyor, you achieve valuable space savings, by conveying vertically instead of a horizontal incline. The Single Lane Spiral Conveyor System creates a smooth, reliable and continuous vertical product flow.
Characteristics
Our Single Lane Conveyors are designed with a guided rail system with precision low friction bearings. The slats run in at track using only rolling friction, eliminating the need for side supports and wear strips. No lubrication is needed, which results in a lower noise level, cleaner transport and less maintenance. This efficient track rail system requires only one small motor, which saves considerable energy and simplifies integration. With a top speed of 60 meters per minute and loads up to 50 kilogram per meter, the Single Lane facilitates a high continuous throughput, and allows them to start and stop fully loaded.
All Apollo Spirals are built with a proprietary modular design. This feature has many benefits, including making custom configurations simple and installing spirals in congested areas. It also allows reconfiguration on site or repurposing to fit a new line. Most of the time, the conveyors are shipped in one piece to streamline installation and minimize down time. The modular design however allows them to be delivered in sections if the installation area is limited.
What kind of products can be transported?
This spiral is designed for most kinds of unitized loads. There are multiple applications ideally suited for the Single Lane Spiral Conveyor including products like; bags, bundles, totes, trays, cans, bottles, containers, cartons and wrapped and unwrapped items. Apollo designs Spiral Conveyors which are ideally suited for several types of industries including: the food , beverage, newspaper, pet food, and personal care industries and many others.
Types and Models
The Single Lane Spiral Conveyor consists of 4 standard configurations that can be customized to your specifications. All Spirals are equipped with an infeed and outfeed that can be any angle so they smoothly line up with feeding conveyors. Spirals can transport products up or down and can be made reversible, and can rotate either clockwise or counter-clockwise. Our Spirals are available in several different slat widths that are specified for the size of the largest unit that will be conveyed. There are also several configurations to chose from, such as the side guarding and the base structure. For example, the side guard can be coated in a specified RAL colour or stainless steel. They can also be modified in the field to accommodate emerging needs and requirements
In addition to the Single Lane Spiral Conveyor, we offer many more options for Vertical Conveying, such as the Dual Lane Spiral Conveyor and the Mass Flow Spiral Conveyor.
