Vibrating spiral elevators are advanced conveying devices that utilize symmetrical vibrating motors to generate high-frequency oblique vibration forces. This action propels materials upward along a spiral turntable, enabling efficient and continuous vertical transport. These systems are integral in modern production lines, particularly in the plastics industry, where they not only convey but also cool or dry materials during the process.
Equipped with optional air-cooled or water-cooled mechanisms, vibrating spiral elevators from Rumtoo Machine ensure that materials are maintained at optimal temperatures, preventing degradation and enhancing product quality. Their robust design and versatile functionality make them a preferred choice for handling various bulk materials, from plastic pellets and powders to chemical compounds.
Key Features and Benefits
Vibrating spiral elevators offer several advantages that cater to the demanding needs of industrial operations:
- Efficient Vertical Conveying: The unique vibrational mechanism ensures smooth, clog-free upward movement of materials, maximizing throughput and minimizing downtime.
- Integrated Cooling and Drying: With customizable cooling options, these elevators can reduce material temperatures significantly—down to 50°C or even ambient levels—preserving material integrity.
- Durability and Low Maintenance: Constructed using high-grade materials and precision manufacturing processes, these units are built to withstand continuous operation with minimal wear.
- Customization: Available in various sizes and configurations, they can be tailored to specific height, capacity, and material requirements, supporting lifts of up to 10 meters and handling capacities of 8t/h.
- Noise Reduction: Engineered for quiet operation, typically under 80 dB, ensuring a better working environment.
Applications in Industry
Vibrating spiral elevators are particularly valuable in sectors requiring precise and hygienic material handling:
- Plastics Manufacturing: Ideal for transporting plastic pellets, modifiers, and recycled materials while providing cooling to prevent heat-related defects.
- Chemical Processing: Safely handle powders and granules, with options for corrosion-resistant builds.
- Food and Pharmaceuticals: Where temperature control and contamination prevention are critical.

- Lubricate moving parts as per the manufacturer’s guidelines.
- Monitor temperature controls to ensure consistent cooling performance.
Frequently Asked Questions
What materials can be transported using a vibrating spiral elevator?
These elevators handle a wide range of bulk materials, including plastics, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and food products, especially those requiring temperature control during conveyance.
How does the cooling system work?
Cooling is achieved via a jacket surrounding the spiral trough through which cold water or air is circulated, absorbing heat from the material being conveyed.
Can the system be customized for specific heights and capacities?
Yes, Rumtoo Machine offers custom designs capable of conveying up to 10 meters in height and handling up to 8 tonnes per hour, tailored to your specific requirements.
What power supply is needed?
Most models operate on a standard 3-phase power supply, with motor sizes varying based on the model and capacity.
What maintenance is required?
Routine checks should include the vibration mechanism, cooling system integrity, and general wear on spiral surfaces. Spare parts such as springs, bearings, and seals should be kept on hand for prompt replacements.
