The main functionality of a spiral conveyor is to transfer loads from level to level quickly and efficiently. A spiral conveyor has a lot of different names, such as vertical conveyor, spiral elevator, incline conveyor…
There are several types of spiral conveyors, all with their own features and benefits. One of them is the gravity spiral conveyor. The main difference between a gravity conveyor compared to another spiral conveyor is that this conveyor moves load without utilizing motor power sources. The load is basically ‘structured falling’ due to gravity. This conveyor uses for example full rollers or skate wheels to move its loads.
