Vibratory Spiral Elevator

Vibrating spiral elevator - Material Vertical conveying

Vibrating elevator is a kind of conveying device which uses symmetrical vibrating motor to produce oblique high frequency vibrating force couples, so that the materials in the form of vibration climb upward along the turntable spiral. It has the functional characteristics of efficient vertical conveying of materials.

With air-cooled or water-cooled system, it can effectively cool down or dry the material during conveying process and is widely used in the production line of plastic industry.

how does spiral vibratory conveyor work

How Vibrating Spiral Elevator works?

 

A vibrating spiral elevator uses vibrations to move materials up a spiral-shaped path. The vibrations help the materials flow smoothly and prevent blockages, efficiently lifting them to the top for discharge.

What parameters should you focus on?

Key parameters to focus on for a vibrating spiral elevator include capacity (material per hour), elevation height (lifting distance), spiral diameter (flow control), vibration frequency (smooth operation), amplitude (pushing force), motor power (in kW), temperature range (material handling), and channel length (overall size). These factors determine the elevator’s performance and suitability for specific applications.

What Are the Features of the Welding and Sandwich Layer Processes?

The welding process ensures strong, precise welds that can handle vibration and material loads, using corrosion-resistant materials and non-destructive testing for quality. The sandwich layer process features a cooling jacket that circulates cold water to lower material temperature, preventing overheating. This dual-layer system is leak-proof, made from heat-resistant materials, and ensures efficient, stable performance

What is spiral elevator

Spiral elevator also called vibrating spiral elevator. Is a type of vertical transportation system that uses vibrational force to move bulk solids or materials up and down a spiral-shaped shaft. With a compact footprint, transportation with continuity and other characteristics.

The operation of spiral elevators are similar to that of a traditional spiral conveyor, but the use of vibrational force allows it to handle a wider range of goods and materials and operate in a more compact space.

This makes it a good choice for buildings with limited space or complex layouts, and is particularly useful in the chemical and plastic industries, where the safe and efficient movement of goods is critical.

How the sprial elevators works?

video of vibratory spiral elevator

The elevator consists of a platform or cabin that is attached to a central column, and moves along a helical or spiral track.

The platform or cabin of the vibrating spiral elevator is suspended by a series of cables or other mechanical devices, vibration forces generated by the operation of two unbalanced motors, which allow it to move up and down the spiral track.

The movement of the platform is controlled by a series of motors and gears, which generate vibrational force to move the materials on the platform continuous product flow up and down the spiral track.

What are the application industries of spiral elevators?

Spiral elevators are commonly used in many industries, including mining, chemical and plastic industries., where they are used to transport materials and goods between different levels of a height or floor.

The chemical and plastics industries are known for their large, complex facilities that often require the movement of goods and materials between different floors and heights.

Traditional elevators can be inefficient and cumbersome in these environments, as they require a dedicated shaft and can only move in a straight line.

In contrast, vibratory spiral elevators use spiral shafts that can be moved in more compact spaces, making them better suited to the unique layouts of chemical and plastics facilities, use minimal floor space to save more floor space.

Cooling function of spiral elevator

Resource: CARRIER

Some industries will require spiral elevators to transport materials with temperature, such as some special plastic pellets.

Vibratory spiral elevators can be designed with a cooling function so that the material can be transported and lifted at a lower temperature.

Vibrating spiral elevator usually has three cooling methods to reduce the temperature of the transported material: air-cooling, water-cooling and air water combination coling.

Air-cooled:

The spiral central tube has several air outlets corresponding to the spiral structure platform on each level.

In the process of material being lifted, cold air is constantly blowing on the material to achieve the purpose of cooling.

Water-cooling

Vibrating spiral elevator with water-cooled cooling function of each layer of the spiral platform is double belt and hollow.

And cold water through the hollow and closed gap in the spiral structure constantly circulating, so that each layer of the spiral transport layer is like a cool tray, constantly absorbing the heat emitted by the material in the vibration lifting process to reduce their own temperature.

Air water combination coling

As the name suggests, the air water combination coling. cooling method is a combination of these two cooling methods. It has a better cooling effect.

What the difference between vibrating spiral elevator and spiral conveyor

Spiral elevators and spiral conveyors are both types of compact footprint mechanical devices that are used to move and transport products vertically between different levels.

However, there are some key differences between the two.

One of the main differences between a vibrating spiral elevator and a spiral conveyor is the way in which they move materials.

Spiral elevators uses vibration to move materials upward or downward, while a spiral conveyor uses a continuous rotating spiral belt to convey materials horizontally or at an incline.

Another key difference between the two is the type of materials they are designed to handle.

Spiral elevators are typically designed to bulk solids, tiny size materials such as plastic pellets and chemical powders

While spiral conveyors are typically used to convey lighter materials such as packages, boxes, and bags.

Additionally, spiral elevators are typically used in industrial settings, such as plastic pellet factory, chemical factory, pharmaceutical factory, while spiral conveyors are more commonly found in retail and distribution centers.
