In most cases the Spiral Elevator is integrated in to a system. The input /
output side of the Spiral Elevator is determined dependent on the system.
In the following example, it is assumed that the input is at the lower end of
the Spiral Elevator and that the product will bridge a difference in height in
order to continue the required transport on the output.
1 The product is transferred onto the input of the Spiral Elevator.
The gear motor drives the conveyor chain with the required
speed.
2 Subsequently, the product on the conveyor chain will travel
around the Spiral Elevator and bridge the height difference
between input and output.
3 When the product arrives at the output of the Spiral Elevator it will
continue along the system. The conveyor chain returns in the
underside of the Spiral Elevator to the input position.
