Conveyor Spirals in Control

Posted November 14, 2007 3:05 PM

A uniquely designed spiral conveyor provides a compact solution for moving materials between different elevations. A patented lateral roller system enables the safe movement of unstable products at high speeds. A new dual-lane model allows the movement of multiple product lines side-by-side. The lines can also be controlled separately and can run in opposite directions.

The preceding article is a "sneak peek" from Material Handling, a newsletter from GlobalSpec. To stay up-to-date and informed on industry trends, products, and technologies, subscribe to Material Handling today.

I can not find what is so new about it? whats the minimun radius ratio as compared to belt width. (1.8, 2.1, ??)

And the comment;

"A new dual-lane model allows the movement of multiple product lines side-by-side. The lines can also be controlled separately and can run in opposite directions."

They failed to mention that if you have a dual lane, the belt on the out side needs to travel more for it to be side by side so it would take more time to get to the top.

unless of course it is powered separately
