Spiral Conveyor calibrates to adjust to summer temperatures.
Share:
Press Release Summary:
Spiral Conveyor can be calibrated to move products at desired speed through cooling vat or humidity chamber to compensate for higher seasonal temperatures. It also transfers products between floors with adjustment of corkscrew configuration and is suitable for curing molded products. Operating in -40 to +250ºC temperature range at any humidity, modular system features controlled slope for smooth transfer and can be gravity-based or powered.
Original Press Release:
Summer Temperatures Take a Downward Spiral in Manufacturing
Processes such as tempering, dehumidifying and general cooling can be negatively affected by the rising temperatures in summer months.
Products made from heat treated steel or plastic, painted items and especially units that have been baked (such as ceramics and specialised bricks) still require a specific cooling rate, but as temperatures rise this can be compromised.
An entire batch of manufactured products cooled at the wrong rate of temperature drop can be ruined.
Australian company Industrial Conveying (Aust) Pty Ltd has developed its Spiral Conveyor to overcome any problems of this nature during the summer months.
This spiral unit can be calibrated to move product at a desired speed through a cooling vat or humidity chamber to negate the higher seasonal temperature and eliminate the need to just place items on racking in the hope they will cool naturally without complications.
Spiral Conveyors are also extremely space efficient and can even transfer product between floors by maximising its corkscrew configuration. It can also be built to a precise user-specific travel length and height.
The product is especially suitable for the curing process of moulded products. Where chemicals are used, wash down is fast and simple.
Spiral Conveyors allow precise set-up of travel speeds so that each unit of product arrives at the appropriate manufacturing process at exactly the right temperature and physical condition.
Operating temperatures range from -40ºC to +250ºC; it is all pertinent to assembling appropriate components. For example, a stainless steel belt would be the choice for operating at temperatures of +250ºC.
It also works efficiently across the entire humidity spectrum - from completely saturated environment to that of dry humidity.
If required, stainless units can be fitted to achieve hygienic wash downs.
Industrial Conveying's Spiral Conveyors have a controlled slope for smooth transfer, are designed to suit individual products, can be assembled on site, can be gravity or powered systems, and are ideal for inline accumulation.
Modular in design (likened to the simplicity of a Meccano set), the system is quickly and easily installed regardless of the shape and size of premises.
For instance, one Spiral Conveyor system - a large double configuration - was installed despite having an ordinary size door as the only access point.
This installation took just one weekend, therefore it is clear that installation in difficult areas such as the centre of an existing production floor or building is no challenge.
Units can join together for long holding time if the application requires this. At all times a first-in first-out configuration is possible. This allows different product to run at different speeds for different running times.
