QUILTON coreless Raiser Conveyors (QTV) are used for gradients on the horizontal plane exceeding 30º and have the following features:
The QUILTON raiser conveyor is fitted with a robust shaftless spiral, in very thick steel and with a drive unit that operates at very low revolutions.
This design of the spiral without a central shaft gives the Raiser Conveyor greater transport capacity, making it less sensitive to fibrous materials or to those tending to accumulate, and suitable for transporting products of wide-ranging sizes. There is no component to hinder the progress of the products and the conveyor can be filled without risk of blockage.
For the same transport capacity, the Raiser Conveyor operates at lower speeds than one with a shaft.
The trough is eight-sided, in order to give the unit greater strength. It is fully lined inside.
The Raiser Conveyor can operate by "pushing" or "pulling". When using a Conveyor that operates by "pushing", a second Raiser Conveyor can be fed by abutting it to the end of the other conveyor without having to pass through hoppers.
This second Conveyor may be mounted at a different gradient and in a different direction to the first one. This allows for very compact installations in reduced premises.
