SPIRAL VIBRATORY ELEVATORS

A spiral vibratory elevator is a machine that moves bulk materials vertically using controlled vibration rather than belts, buckets, or screws. Materials travel up (or down) a helical trough, gently lifted by vibratory motors, making it a low-maintenance alternative to conveyor belts or bucket elevators.

Magnapower’s spiral vibratory elevators are available in diameters up to 1.5 metres and heights up to 6 metres, with a handling capacity of up to 10 cubic metres per hour. Units can be configured with top-drive or bottom-drive setups to suit different inlet height requirements.

Spiral vibratory elevators can handle a wide range of bulk solids, from granules and powders to small packaged goods and mechanical parts. Their gentle handling action makes them suitable for delicate or fragile materials that would be damaged by more aggressive conveying methods.

Yes, spiral vibratory elevators are commonly used in food and pharmaceutical processing because they can be manufactured in food-grade stainless steel and offer gentle, hygienic material handling. Magnapower builds units in both mild steel and food-quality stainless steel depending on the application.

No, spiral vibratory elevators have very few moving parts compared to belt or bucket conveying systems, which means lower maintenance requirements and reduced operational costs. Installation is also straightforward, since the units are self-supporting and don’t require additional structural framework.

Spiral vibratory elevators are used across food processing, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, plastics and packaging, foundries, and waste and recycling. Their gentle handling, small footprint, and low maintenance make them suitable wherever vertical bulk material transport is needed.

Yes, Magnapower’s spiral vibratory elevators are sold as standalone units and do not require any other Magnapower separation or processing equipment. They can be installed as an independent solution in any facility needing gentle vertical material handling.
