Creative space solution as eComm firm installs spiral conveyor

One of our eCommerce customers from Germany wanted to put a spiral into an old elevator shaft. Which is relatively common if it weren’t for the fact this one needed to be stacked due to a combination of height, heavy loads and desired throughput. Traditionally when stacking spirals on top of each other, they need a connection loop to join them together.

This loop is a U-shaped horizontal conveyor section connecting the upper and lower end of the individual spirals in question. These extruding parts would make it impossible to fit in a tight shaft.

AmbaFlex invented a new technical solution to resolve this issue. A return part shaped like an upside down ‘J’ that eliminates the need for a loop. This newly developed part is a smart way to keep the stacked spirals as compact as possible, enabling it to fit into tight places such as elevator shafts.

The J-configuration helps customers around the world achieve the absolute maximum floor potential possible by creating even stacked solutions compact.
