JVI Vibratory Equipment Spiral Elevators — JVI Vibratory Equipment: Spiral Elevators. Manufacturer equipment example.

Spiral Elevators for your process

Raise bulk material within a compact vertical footprint.

JVI spiral elevators move material up a helical conveying surface using vibration. They provide a vertical handling option where the process needs elevation change and may also need heating or cooling during transport in a suitably configured design.

Example: Raise plastic granules while reviewing a forced-air cooling requirement.

Also known as: Vibrating spiral elevators, spiral conveyors, vibratory elevators.

Use vertical space

a spiral path provides elevation gain in a compact plan area.

Combine handling and thermal duty

review available heating or cooling arrangements with the product and residence requirements.

Suit the material

inlet presentation, conveying surface and discharge geometry determine the complete transfer.

How It Works

Feed the lower inlet

Vibration moves material up the spiral

Discharge at the required elevation

Typical Materials & Industries

Plastics

granules and other suitable products may require cooling as well as elevation.

Chemicals

product compatibility and containment guide contact construction.

Metals and industrial solids

review temperature, abrasion and product dimensions.

Spiral material test

Configuration & Application Review

Equipment duty: Raise bulk material within a compact vertical footprint.
Selection basis: Material, bulk density, particle sizes, flowability, throughput, inlet and outlet elevations, and the equipment supported above and below the unit.
Available configuration review: Elevation and spiral dimensions, Contact materials, Forced-air cooling, Selected heating or cooling construction, Covers and containment, Inlet and discharge geometry.
Application verification: Thermal duty depends on the selected construction, product properties, available surface and residence time. Describe inlet and target temperatures so the manufacturer can assess the duty.
