Spiral elevators raise or lower products 0.5 to 5.0m

Riley Automation has developed a range of Spiral Elevator systems that have a minimum footprint but provide maximum conveying length from their helical design. Spiral Elevators enable products to be either elevated or lowered from between 0.5m and 5.0m in height, enabling time delays between adjoining processes to be achieved within a confined space. The vibration of the system can be varied and adjusted to provide the optimum frequency and amplitude required for a specific product or component being handled. Also the gentle action and constant-feed principles of these systems means that product degradation is eliminated, so product integrity and quality are maintained.

This type of elevator is especially useful when time is required to heat, cool or dry product between the various process steps. In contrast, traditional conveyors take up more precious floor space to generate the time delays required.

Riley Automation material handling systems are tailor-made for each application and combine engineering excellence with innovative ideas and technology. All Spiral Elevator systems are precision manufactured from laser-cut components to ensure high accuracy and cost-effective production. Options are available for flight section, construction materials and flight coating. thereby providing the optimum design for the product under consideration.
