Spiral Conveyor

A continuous side-flexing belt (or overlapping slat/chain-slat belt) travels around a central vertical column, drum, or cage. Products enter at the infeed (usually bottom for ascending or top for descending), travel along a low-incline helical path (typically 5–15°), and exit at the outfeed level in the same sequence. The empty belt returns via a dedicated path to complete the endless loop.

Systems are offered in Stainless Steel (SS 304 or SS 316) or Mild Steel configurations. The framework uses 32 mm square pipe (SS 304 matte finish or MS with protective paint), and the tabletop is typically 16-gauge SS 304 sheet with a matte finish. Belts can be PVC-coated canvas or endless rubberized types depending on the application.

Yes. Speed, length, height, width, and belt dimensions are fully customizable to match product size, production requirements, and facility layout. Power voltage can also be adjusted to local domestic standards.

Belt width is tailored to product dimensions, belt speed is set according to production needs, construction material is SS 304/316, power is typically 3-phase 415 V / 50 Hz, and overall machine length varies by application. Speeds often exceed 200 feet per minute (≈60 m/min) with load capacities in the range of 10–50 kg/m depending on the model.

It is widely applied in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, herbal, Ayurvedic, biotech, cosmetic, and chemical industries for efficient vertical transfer of bottles, containers, and other packaged or loose products within production and packaging lines.

Spiral designs are extremely compact (diameters as small as 585 mm in some models) and can save 40–50 % of the floor space required by traditional incline conveyors while providing the same elevation change.

Benefits include continuous high-throughput vertical movement, gentle product handling that prevents tipping or damage, the ability to start and stop fully loaded, reversible operation on many models, quiet vibration-free running via a high-quality reduction gearbox, and seamless integration into full production lines.

A motor-driven central drum/cage or chain drive powers the system. Low-tension designs rely on friction between the cage and belt edge; modern versions often use low-friction rolling-element (chain-slat) systems that need only a single drive. Self-aligning bearings ensure smooth roller rotation, and a 3-speed pulley system allows belt-speed adjustment.

Yes. It is designed for straightforward integration with packaging lines, automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS), and other conveyors. Products enter and exit horizontally, maintaining orientation and sequence for downstream processes such as filling, capping, labeling, or inspection.
