Dual lane spiral solves space problem

31 January 2019

Two production lines handling an alcoholic beverage in France had to reach a palletising area. They were 50m apart, in different sections of the building, and there wasn’t room in the palletising area for a conventional approach. Amba-flex provided a solution.

It was decided that the most efficient way to get the filled carton boxes to their final destination was by going through the roof. Cartons then had to travel through a tunnel for 50m and descend into the palletising area.

Getting the two lines up to the roof was done by two standard AmbaFlex SV SpiralVeyors and a regular conveyor was used for the short journey through the tunnel. Getting both lines down in the packed palletiser room was more difficult. With so little room to work, there was only enough space for one compact spiral, but both lines needed a separate outfeed and at different heights.

AmbaFlex came up with a dual lane spiral called the SV x configuration with separate outfeeds at different heights. Essentially serving as two spirals but only taking the amount of floor space of one.

Instead of just offering a technical product, AmbaFlex aims to work with the customers to look at the most efficient way to add value to a production line and propose a solution.
