spiral conveyors

Norpak offers the Ambaflex spiral conveyor.

Norpak Handling is a top Canadian supplier of material-handling equipment, including different types of vertical conveyors. Spiral conveyors are a popular choice among them; their continuous running ability minimizes the need for control software, simplifying them and using up less floor space. These systems can deliver as much as three times the throughput of platform-style vertical conveyors, but with a smaller footprint than standard incline/decline conveyors offer. Two key models available from Norpak: the Ambaflex and the gravity spiral slide.

High volumes with limited footprint

A major manufacturer of spiral conveyors, Ambaflex offers the SpiralVeyor series – the leading choice for applications that involve both vertical transportation and product accumulation. The high throughput and productivity of descending spiral models make them popular in sectors in which high volumes of product must be transported while changing elevations within a limited footprint, and the Ambaflex is an ideal choice.

The Ambaflex is a common replacement for incline/decline conveyors in spaces with limited floor space. With this model, users achieve far higher throughput than they would with reciprocating or continuous vertical conveyors, without controls to complicate the process. Here is a brief look at the Ambaflex:

The advantage of the gravity spiral slide is that it does not need power to operate. As with gravity conveyors, the user just places items on the slide and let them descend by themselves. Businesses usually choose this model for rejected or no-read packages from automated systems in environments where floor space is insufficient for a large footprint to decline down to working height on the floor. The gravity spiral slide takes these packages down to a manual work table to be hand-palletized or re-labelled for re-induction into the automatic system. A glimpse of how this one works:

A key difference between these two spiral conveyors is that the gravity spiral slide does not provide consistent case orientation – so customers who need this function should choose the Ambaflex. Norpak Handling encourages all clients to consult with its expert team for the right solution. No matter what kind of material-handling solution is required, Norpak what it takes to understand the application and offer the best choice.
