Vibrating spiral elevators, also known as spiral conveyors, are essential in modern industrial operations for efficient vertical material transport. These systems utilize vibration to move granular, powdered, or lumpy materials upward along a spiral track, making them ideal for applications requiring space-saving, cost-effective, and multi-functional equipment.
How Vibrating Spiral Elevators Work
A vibrating spiral elevator operates using two motors positioned at the top or base, which generate opposing vibrational frequencies. This creates a consistent upward thrust that propels materials along the spiral pathway. The design ensures low noise, stable operation, and can include additional functions like screening or cooling during transport.

Spiral elevators are versatile and can handle a wide range of materials, including food grains, pharmaceutical powders, plastic pellets, and chemical compounds. Their ability to perform secondary processes—like drying, cooling, or particle classification—during transport adds significant value to operations.
Applications Across Industries
Vibrating spiral elevators are utilized in numerous sectors due to their efficiency and adaptability. Key industries include:
- Fødevareforarbejdning: Transporting rice, beans, grains, and powders without contamination.
- Pharmaceuticals: Handling sensitive powders and granules under hygienic conditions.
- Plastics: Moving pellets and recycled materials between processing stages.
- Chemicals: Conveying corrosive or abrasive materials with appropriate steel grades.
- Mining and Metallurgy: Elevating ores, minerals, and recycled metals.
Additional sectors such as building materials, recycling, and injection molding also benefit from the reliability of these systems.
Key Components of Spiral Elevators
Understanding the components helps in selecting the right system:
Pedestal
The base structure includes support springs and pillars that ensure stability while allowing precise vibrational movement.
Elektrisk kontrolboks
Equipped with user-friendly interfaces and safety features like overload protection and customizable transport directions (upward or downward).
Spiral Track
Constructed from various steel grades, the spiral’s width and inclination affect transport efficiency and can include screening capabilities.
Loading and Discharge Ports
Designed for seamless integration with other machinery like mixers, crushers, or silos.
Motormontering
Typically consists of two unbalanced motors that generate the necessary vibrational thrust for material movement.

Ofte stillede spørgsmål
What materials can a vibrating spiral elevator handle?
These elevators convey granular, powdered, and lumpy solids such as plastics, food products, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals.
How does the screening function work?
The spiral track can be designed with specific gaps or meshes to classify particles during transport, eliminating the need for separate screening equipment.
What is the maximum height for conveyance?
Custom designs can achieve lifts up to 6000mm, depending on material and operational parameters.
Are these systems energy-efficient?
Yes, vibrational mechanics consume less power compared to traditional conveyors, reducing operational costs.
Can spiral elevators operate in both directions?
Absolutely. With adjustable motor settings, they can move materials upward or downward as needed.
How do I choose between open and closed designs?
Open designs suit non-dusty materials, while closed systems are better for powders or hazardous substances to prevent contamination.
