Alpine conveyors are conveyor systems used to transport materials or products from one level to another within a building or facility.

The conveyor consists of a continuous belt, typically made of plastic or metal, driven by a motor and guided along a spiral or helical path. The belt is supported by rollers mounted on a central shaft that rotates along with the belt.

Alpine conveyors are often used where space is limited, as they provide vertical transportation without taking up significant floor space. They are especially useful for warehouses or manufacturing facilities where movement between multiple levels is required.

The design ensures a smooth, continuous flow of materials with minimal product impact or damage. They are commonly used for packages, boxes, and cartons, but can also handle liquids, powders, or granular materials.

Overall, alpine conveyors offer a versatile and efficient solution for vertical transportation of materials in a variety of industries.

Technical description
Capacity: Maximum weight or volume the conveyor can handle, determined by belt strength, central shaft diameter, and motor power.

Speed: The rate at which the belt travels along the spiral path, measured in feet or meters per minute. Speed can be adjusted to meet application needs.

Size and Dimensions: Available in different heights, widths, and lengths, with varying central shaft diameters and roller sizes depending on requirements.

Material and Construction: Belts may be made of plastic, metal, or rubber; rollers from steel, aluminum, or plastic. Materials are selected based on application environment.

Power Supply: Operates with an electrical power supply to drive the motor. Voltage, phase, and frequency vary according to project needs.

Control System: Can range from simple manual controls to advanced automated systems. Controls regulate speed, direction, material flow, and product quality.
