Astec Conveyors provide a space saving range of spiral conveyors providing continuous, smooth vertical transfer of product (in either direction) from upper and lower levels. The spiral conveyors offers an extremely small footprint compared to a conventional belt conveyor.
Spiral conveyors are available in mild steel (painted to a standard RAL colour of your choice) or food quality stainless steel. These versatile conveyors will transport cartons, fresh produce, sacks, cases, tote bins, shrink-wrapped goods, bundles, single cans and bottles.
The transport medium is a low friction chain supported by ‘sealed for life’ bearings riding on a polyurethane guide surface. This allows for smooth, safe, high speed operation coupled with the benefits of an extremely low noise level and a long, trouble free life.
The spiral conveyors standard load capacity is 50kg per metre, an incline angle of between 8-11 degrees (which safeguards against loads slipping) and up to a maximum standard speed of 60m per minute. Widths are between 200mm – 650mm and a twin lane machine (independently controlled lanes) is also available.

…the whole project was superbly engineered, including all electrical control equipment and was completed on time and within budget. Since installation, the new handling system has performed successfully and Honeytop Speciality Foods have experienced the benefits of integrated and automated handling systems.
From the off, Astec Conveyors demonstrated their willingness to deliver workable solutions to resolve our handling requirements and meet our challenging timescales. The system is very impressive and successfully meeting our project criteria.
…South Caernarfon Creameries would not hesitate to recommend Astec Conveyors to anyone wanting to work with an excellent team of people who deliver what they promise.
Our new Astec lowerator has provided a perfect solution to our long term problem of integrating two existing buildings with differing floor levels. All our operatives are happy using it and we look forward to it giving many years of service
Astec were chosen because they offered a complete package – design, manufacture, installation and project management in-house. This gave them control of the whole project from start to finish, and this in turn gave us the confidence of a ‘one stop’ solution.
The Astec system enables us to quickly and efficiently pick and dispatch high volumes of product. It has made a positive impact on service and productivity levels and represents very good value for money. We have been extremely impressed with the quality and reliability of the system and with the way in which Astec worked closely with our own engineers to ensure that the project was delivered on time and without any disruption to our normal services.
Apart from providing a competitive quotation, Astec was selected because they demonstrated their experience and handling capability, and could supply all the different conveyors for both filling systems within the given time frame.
