Vibratory conveying equipment
GEA Scan-Vibro Spiral Elevator is designed for use in numerous areas of the food, feed, chemical-technical and pharmaceutical industries.
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.

What if your favorite chocolate didn’t require cocoa beans and your coffee was locally produced? As climate disruption, price hikes and ethical concerns hit two of our most beloved indulgences, scientists are reimagining how we produce them – using microbes, not monocultures. The goal: preserve the flavor and properties of coffee and chocolate while minimizing carbon emissions and improving food resilience.
Ports now compete not just on logistics, but on sustainability. At Greece’s Piraeus port, an advanced processing and recovery facility recycles ship waste oil into fuel. Equipped with GEA’s high-performance centrifuges, it sets a new benchmark for state-of-the-art, environmentally responsible port operations.
