Nottingham and the surrounding East Midlands area support a broad mix of manufacturing, food and drink, life sciences, engineering and logistics activity. In established production facilities, space for new equipment is often constrained by existing process lines, walkways, services and packing machinery. A spiral elevator can use vertical space to move products between levels without requiring the long horizontal footprint associated with many incline conveyors. Each system can be tailored to product behaviour, throughput and site conditions, with cooling, drying or accumulation incorporated where the process benefits from additional residence time.
