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.

Preguntas frecuentes
¿Qué materiales puede manejar un ascensor espiral vibratorio?
Estos ascensores transportan sólidos granulares, en polvo y en grumos, como plásticos, productos alimenticios, farmacéuticos y químicos.
¿Cómo funciona la función de cribado?
La vía espiral puede diseñarse con espacios o mallas específicas para clasificar partículas durante el transporte, eliminando la necesidad de equipo de cribado separado.
¿Cuál es la altura máxima para el transporte?
Diseños personalizados pueden alcanzar elevaciones de hasta 6000mm, dependiendo del material y los parámetros operativos.
¿Estos sistemas son eficientes en energía?
Sí, la mecánica vibracional consume menos energía en comparación con los transportadores tradicionales, reduciendo los costos operativos.
¿Pueden operar los ascensores espirales en ambas direcciones?
Absolutamente. Con ajustes de motor ajustables, pueden mover materiales hacia arriba o hacia abajo según sea necesario.
¿Cómo elijo entre diseños abiertos y cerrados?
Los diseños abiertos son adecuados para materiales sin polvo, mientras que los sistemas cerrados son mejores para polvos o sustancias peligrosas para evitar la contaminación.
