How to Use Spiral Conveyors in Material Handling

Warehouse Spiral ConveyorA spiral conveyor is a vertical conveyor system designed to transport products up or down between floors. Utilizing a compact spiral design, the conveyor rotates products along a sloped track, reducing the need for space-consuming inclines. Spiral conveyors can handle a variety of materials, making them versatile for use in warehousing, order fulfillment, and production lines.

These conveyors integrate easily into existing workflows, automating the transfer of goods from one level to another with minimal manual intervention. This is particularly useful for high-volume facilities looking to move products quickly across multiple floors while avoiding bottlenecks on the main production floor.

Typical uses for spiral conveyors include:

Order Fulfillment Centers: Transport totes or packages between levels to increase picking and packing speed.

Manufacturing Plants: Move finished products from the production floor to the shipping area without disrupting operations.

Distribution Centers: Route items from incoming storage areas to sorting lines efficiently and safely.

“Working with Southwest Solutions including Matt, Susan, and especially Brad was great. They provide amazing customer service. Brad and the install team were especially great. Very professional, easy to work with, and did the work quickly and very well with very little input from us. If we need help with carousel storage moves, parts, or new equipment we will start with Southwest Solutions. ”

“The team at Southwest Solutions were nothing short of fantastic. First meeting with Craig, I received a customized design, in person, based on my office needs while still maintaining an efficient layout and being cost effective. Craig explained everything clearly, allowing me to understand that as modular mill-work, I would be able to move it if I ever changed offices, but without the added sales pressure to immediately make a decision. Once I had decided, I worked with Chris who assisted in picking out the finishes and scheduling the delivery and installation. The professionalism of Craig and Chris spoke volumes and I would highly recommend anyone looking to transform or fit-out an office to contact Southwest Solutions.”
