Spiral conveyor
John Kalkowski, February 13, 2012
At close to 20 feet in height, this is one of the tallest live drum spirals, with 17 tiers with cases travelling at 150 feet per minute. Live Drum Spiral Conveyors can attain higher elevations than competing high-tension spiral solutions because of the low-tension concept, the company claims. It utilizes a cylindrical drum that assists in driving the modular plastic belt. The benefits of this elevating solution include low belt tension, increased elevation changes and capacity, design and product range versatility and low maintenance.This spiral conveyor can be configured with various in-feed and discharge locations, and it can be engineered to lower or elevate products.Nercon, 920-233-3268. www.nercon.com
