Order totes will move around the centres, from picking to dispatch and back, effectively utilising most of all 3 dimensions and not wasting any space. Although greenfield sites can be laid out freely, spiral conveyors come in very useful. Apart from space savings, they eliminate walkways, unnecessary conveyor tracks, and improve access throughout the process. 

Each site will be enhanced by 8 SpiralVeyors of both the SV-series and the SVo series. The SV series will be fitted with a 400mm wide belt for the more general descending purposes while the SVo series is very cost effective solution making use of a new AmbaFlex patent pending technology.

This newly developed technology eliminates the general disadvantage of a spiral conveyor in a clever way. Like a spiral staircase, a spiral conveyor will always include a twist where the inner angle is sharp and the outer side slow. This effect causes each product to rock, more or less on two corner points.

But, effectively, the newly developed belt does not have two outer edges, but provides supports over the complete product length. For rigid items with regular sizes, such as shipping containers, it’s the ultimate solution offering stable contact and a much higher grip. Items can be elevated at much higher inclines, saving elevation time and costs. Hall 27, Stand H45
