5.5 Setting of the Spiral Elevator
The mechanical and control setting for the Spiral Elevator need to be done
correctly, with particular regard to the ends and transfers to ensure good
operation.
5.5.1 Mechanical
Mechanically there are a number of items which can be set for the Spiral
Elevator. The general items are detailed below .
Tools
No. Component Setting / Remark
1. Height setting Spiral Elevator The adjusting feet can be used to set the Spiral Elevator
to the correct height. If necessary, the connecting
conveyors should be adjusted to this as well.
It is not possible to change the difference in height
between the lower and upper ends after the Spiral
Elevator has been manufactured (i.e. the pitch between
turns are fixed).
2. Guide rail, input and output
(optional) The guide rail width setting may be able to be adjusted at
infeed and outfeed ends of the Spiral Elevator in order to
align with the feeding and receiving conveyor systems.
This may depend upon which guide rail and brackets are
fitted.
It may be possible to 'flare out' the guide rails at the in-feed
end of the Spiral Elevator
