A spiral elevator uses controlled vibration, not a belt, to move bulk materials vertically in a compact helical path. This means no belts to replace, gentler product handling, and the ability to simultaneously cool, dry, or screen as you elevate. Belt conveyors require a much longer horizontal footprint for the same vertical height change.

Yes. All food and pharma systems are manufactured from 304 or 316 stainless steel to AISI standards, with hygienic design (no crevices, full wash-down capability, IP65+ rated where required). We can supply documentation packs including material certifications, weld inspection records, and surface finish reports.

Lead times are typically 6–12 weeks from design sign-off, depending on the complexity of the system and material specification. We always provide a firm delivery date at the point of order. Rush requirements can sometimes be accommodated, please contact us to discuss.

Yes, this is one of the key advantages of spiral elevator technology. The open helical trough design allows ambient air (or forced air from fans) to contact the product continuously as it travels up the spiral. This makes spiral elevators ideal for cooling fried snacks, extruded products, or any heat-treated material before packaging.

Yes. We stock vibrator motors (OLI, Vibtec, FRIEDRICH), springs, rubber mounts, clamps, and bearings for all equipment we supply. We also provide site visits for commissioning, troubleshooting, and preventive maintenance. Contact us on 0800 001 6520 for parts availability.

Our vibratory systems are designed to handle anything from a few kilograms per hour (precision dosing feeders) up to 100+ tonnes per hour (heavy-duty aggregate screens and grizzly screens). Throughput depends on product bulk density, particle size, and conveying distance, we'll calculate this as part of your free consultation.
