Equipment Options & Accessories

Heating & Cooling

Holes can be incorporated into the tower to force air out and across the material. Air can be blown down onto the material from the hollow flight stiffeners on larger spiral units.

Flights

Jacketed flights are manufactured using heavy, pre-formed dimple plate and are plug welded to the center tower. They provide indirect heat transfer with steam, oil, or water.

Size & Capacity

Available in diameters in excess of 11 feet and heights in excess of 60 feet with light to heavy-duty, high-capacity and high-temperature designs available.

Materials of Construction

Material contact surfaces can be fabricated from mild steel, stainless steel, or other metal alloys with non-stick coatings to reduce the likelihood of buildup. Sanitary construction for USDA/3A requirements is also available.

Drive Unit Design

Available in brute force or natural frequency design. Material can be conveyed aggressively or in a gentle, harmonic motion.

Enclosures, Access Doors & Inspection Windows

Stationary or vibrating enclosures protect the unit and the materials from the environment and provide additional employee safety. Shrouds are available to protect the drive unit. Custom inspection windows can be incorporated for access to the spiral trough and material.

V-Trough Conveyor Design

Carrier’s V-Trough design aids in conveying sticky materials that have a difficult time conveying up an incline.

Aplicaciones

Catalizadores

Vertically conveys catalyst powders and granules using controlled vibratory motion within a compact footprint. Extended retention time can also support simultaneous cooling or drying during elevation.

Cement & SCMs

Elevates cementitious materials and SCMs where horizontal space is limited. Engineered vibration maintains consistent upward material movement while accommodating abrasive products and continuous production rates.

Alimentos y lácteos

Gently elevates food and dairy powders, granules, and particulates using controlled vibration. Sanitary configurations support hygienic processing while minimizing product degradation and conserving valuable floor space.

Fundición

Vertically conveys hot castings, sand, and foundry materials while providing extended residence time for cooling. Heavy-duty construction withstands elevated temperatures, abrasion, and demanding production environments.

Lithium & Critical Minerals

Provides controlled vertical conveying of lithium-bearing and critical-mineral materials in a compact footprint. Enclosed designs can limit dust and contamination while supporting cooling or drying during transfer.

Productos farmacéuticos

Gently elevates pharmaceutical powders and granules with controlled vibratory motion and minimal mechanical handling. Sanitary configurations support consistent material transfer while reducing degradation and contamination risks.

Pellets de plástico

Vertically conveys plastic pellets while minimizing particle damage and floor-space requirements. Controlled vibratory motion provides consistent material movement and can incorporate cooling during elevation when required.

Polymers

Provides compact vertical transfer of polymer pellets and granular materials using controlled vibration. Gentle conveying maintains particle integrity while extended residence time can support simultaneous thermal conditioning.

Goma y caucho

Elevates rubber granules and crumb rubber using positive vibratory motion that promotes consistent material flow. Spiral conveying conserves floor space while providing controlled residence time for optional cooling.

Featured Resources

A chemical company contacted Carrier Vibrating Equipment with a need to transport an extremely high temperature chemical catalyst immediately after it had been processed in a rotary calciner. With the extremely high-temperature product, the customer needed a solution that would safely and efficiently move the catalyst.

Vibrating Spiral Elevators FAQs

When is a spiral elevator preferred over a traditional bucket elevator?

Spiral elevators provide gentle vertical conveyance of bulk materials without buckets, reducing material breakage and maintenance complexity.

Can spiral elevators handle hot or sticky materials?

Yes. They are designed for a range of materials, including high-temperature feedstocks or materials with slight cohesiveness, while maintaining smooth flow.

How does vibration assist in vertical lift applications?

Vibration helps disengage particles and encourages upward movement without relying on high-friction surfaces, improving reliability and reducing clogging.

Are spiral elevators space-efficient?

Yes. Their vertical footprint allows for tight plant layouts where horizontal space is limited.

What typical maintenance can be expected?

Maintenance focuses on bearings, wear liners, and the drive assembly, with maintenance minimized by the simplicity of the vibration-driven design.
