Spiral elevator conveyors save space
Spiral elevator conveyors offer minimum floor space with maximum conveying length and enable products to be elevated or lowered from 0.5m to 5.0m in height.
Valuable floor space must be used efficiently The transportation and movement of products between processes using traditional methods often means that a considerable area of the factory floor can be unavailable due to the presence of conveyor systems, said Riley Automation

Vibratory bowl feeders offer many options
A range of vibratory bowl feeders offers a wide number of designs and options and are manufactured from the highest quality materials including cast aluminium, mild and stainless steel.
Bulk products are accurately fed
Versatile linear vibratory feeder combines high amplitude, flat feed angle and rubber spring dampening for the handling of all types of bulk products.
This is especially significant when time is required to heat, cool or dry product between the various process steps, as traditional conveyors take up even more precious floor space to generate the time delays which may be required.
Riley Automation has developed a range of Spiral Elevator systems which have a minimum footprint but provide maximum conveying length from their helical design.
Spiral Elevators enable products to be either elevated or lowered from between 0.5m and 5.0m in height enabling time delays between adjoining processes to be achieved within a confined space.
The vibration of the system can be varied and adjusted to provide the optimum frequency and amplitude required for a specific product or component being handled.
Also the gentle action and constant feed principles of these systems means that product degradation is eliminated thus maintaining product integrity and quality.
