Description
Introduction:
A Spiral Roller Conveyor is a space-saving material handling system designed to move products vertically between different floor levels while occupying minimal floor area. By using a spiral configuration, this conveyor allows continuous upward or downward movement of goods without the need for long inclined conveyors or lifts. Spiral roller conveyors are widely used in warehouses, distribution centers, manufacturing plants, and logistics facilities where vertical transfer and high throughput are required.
At Tech Trek Engineering, we design and manufacture spiral roller conveyors that are robust, reliable, and customized to meet specific operational requirements. Our systems are engineered for smooth product flow, structural stability, and long-term performance in demanding industrial environments.
What is a Spiral Roller Conveyor?
A spiral roller conveyor is a vertical conveyor system consisting of rollers arranged in a spiral path around a central column or structure. Products move along the rollers either by gravity or by powered rollers, depending on the application.
Spiral roller conveyors are ideal for transporting cartons, boxes, totes, and trays between multiple levels while maintaining a continuous flow of material.
Working Principle:
The working principle of a spiral roller conveyor depends on its design type:
- Products are placed at the top level.
- Gravity causes the products to roll downward along the spiral rollers.
- Side guides ensure product stability during movement.
- Products reach the lower level smoothly and safely.
