Vibratory conveying equipment
GEA Scan-Vibro Spiral Elevator
GEA Scan-Vibro Spiral Elevator is designed for use in numerous areas of the food, feed, chemical-technical and pharmaceutical industries.
Gentle yet effective vertical conveying using GEA Scan-Vibro spiral elevators for your production line.
The principle of spiral conveying is the same as for the horizontal vibrating conveyors, however the product is conveyed in a path that is spirally coiled around a vertical center tube. The spiral elevator is suitable to a wide range of operations. Among these are products with dry, wet, warm, greasy and frozen characteristics. The spiral elevator is also able to convey with simultaneous cooling, heating, spreading or unification system.
The spiral elevator is robust, maintenance-free (no lubrication or regular inspection necessary) and is developed to meet the present environmental requirements, as for example reduction of noise, dust and odors.
Due to the special combination of oscillation and frequency of vibration as well as stroke length, the spiral elevator is extremely gentle in the handling of the products.
Especially products such as snacks, nuts, chips and fries are transported hygienically and in a gentle way without product damage.
The free-swinging spiral elevator, designed for upward or downward conveying, offers a simple and efficient means to dose and convey your materials. These open units will handle nearly any material, regardless of size and bulk density in a reliable and economical manner. The key to success is its low operating cost, low energy consumption, high recycling rate, simplicity, efficiency and sustainable equipment. There are no augers, bearings or seals which can degrade material, leak or require maintenance.
