Élévateurs et élévateurs à spirale
Spiral elevators provide extremely flexible processing of a range of materials. They offer a compact, energy-efficient solution for vertically conveying, drying, cooling, or processing bulk materials and often eliminate the need for a dryer or cooler. Carrier spiral elevators are recognized throughout the industry for reliable performance and easy maintenance. They minimize material degradation through gentle, harmonic vibration, and deliver low-maintenance and continuous operation, making them ideal for delicate or demanding applications in the food, dairy, rubber, and chemical industries.
Spiral Elevator Equipment
Customized To Your Application
Simultaneous Processing
While elevating, Carrier’s Spiral Elevator unit can heat, cool, dry, or activate material through specialized, optional jacketed flights or air handling. Its smooth, resonant vibration prevents damage to delicate products, unlike traditional bucket elevators. With few moving parts, these systems offer high reliability and minimal downtime, avoiding the wear issues of chain-driven systems.
Élévateurs à spirale vibrants
Elevate bulk materials efficiently within a compact footprint while supporting gentle handling and reliable performance. Spiral elevators provide flexible vertical conveying and can be engineered to cool, dry, heat, or condition materials during transport, helping streamline processing and reduce equipment requirements.
Spirals for Foundry
Engineered for demanding foundry environments, Carrier spiral elevators provide reliable vertical conveying for hot castings, sand, and other challenging materials while supporting cooling and process efficiency. Gentle controlled material movement minimizes damage to castings and supports consistent downstream processing. Built for durability and continuous operation.
The Basic Theory of Spiral Elevators
Les élévateurs vibrants à spirale utilisent les mêmes principes de vibration que les convoyeurs vibrants pour déplacer les matériaux. Cependant, l'élévateur en spirale a une auge de forme hélicoïdale plutôt qu'une auge longue et droite. Le matériau est introduit par un bec d'alimentation situé au bas de l'unité et est déplacé vers le haut en décrivant des cercles autour d'un tube central. Le matériau est déchargé de l'élévateur en spirale à une hauteur pouvant atteindre 60 pieds au-dessus du point d'alimentation.
