Spiral modular conveyor (belt)

BASIC DESCRIPTION

Spiral conveyors are solution, which perfectly applies when there is a  necessity of long term processing of large number of products in a controlled environment.  When there are thousands of single piece products, demanding slow cooling or heating, that usually consumes large amount of energy and human labor. The usage of spiral conveyors in this case optimizes the production process, by lowering the costs and increasing the quality of the end product. As an example, in the baker industry , the need of human labor between baking and packaging part is completely eliminated. Other advantages of these systems is the large amount of production they can handle in relatively small spaces. The spiral shape allows  processing of 1000 to 3000 products simultaneously for the duration of 1 to 3 hours. In certain cases, this duration can be extended to match the specific product needs.

CHARACTERISTICS AND APPLIANCES

Depending on the type and requirements of the product, the spiral conveyor is designed to perform the following operations:

    * cooling
    * lowering humidity and volume of the products
    * rising
    * drying
    * fermentation
    * heating

which make it suitable for usage in food industry, especially in bakery, meat, fish, vegetables, frozen foods processing etc. .

What are the advantages of spiral conveyor/belt?

The spiral, modular belt is solution of a new kind intended to substitute the old type steel belt conveyors, which have certain limitations of types of products can be processed with them, due to materials they are made from. The other shortcomings are heavy weight, high energy consumption, difficult maintenance etc. .
 
Besides that it doesn't suffer from the flaws of the traditional systems, the plastic modular belt has the following advantages:

    * lower product contamination risk
    * more efficient and qualitative food processing
    * higher performance - lighter and stronger conveyor with larger capacity
    * less unscheduled downtimes - simpler, modular conveyor structure, easier maintain
    * higher level of sanitation - easier to clean, less contamination
    * almost no product waste

Along with the other advantages, the plastic modular belt is a much more flexible solution. Dimensions of construction, angle and direction can be considered with the specific place and other connected equipment, where the conveyor is intended to operate.
For example, the rotation can be performed clockwise or counterclockwise and the direction of spiral can be adjusted to up or down position. The angle between in-/outrun can be set to 90, 180 or 270
