Spiral solutions
January 1st 2005

When tissue manufacturer, Georgia-Pacific transferred its UK business from Wrexham to Horwich, Astec Conveyors was awarded the contract to install conveying lines carrying cartons from case packers through to palletisers.

Paul Sculthorpe, project manager of Georgia-Pacific, says “The key benefit of the Astec spiral is unlike any other slat bed conveyor as the slat does not run on any kind of wear strip. This means there is no additional friction when the conveyor is subject to load by the product being carried.” Two spiral conveyors (3 and 3.5 turns) provide continuous, smooth, vertical transfer of product in either direction from ground floor to an upper level. They operate at up to 60mph in one of the smallest footprint areas, and are said to provide reliable, low cost conveying with minimum maintenance needs.
