Take Production to a New Level with Nercon's Live-Drum Spiral Conveyor!
Nercon Engineering and Manufacturing has developed a new spiral conveyor system that utilizes a cylindrical drum that assists in driving the modular plastic belt. The benefits of the Live-Drum Spiral Conveyor include:
- Low belt tension
- Increased elevation changes and capacity
-
Design and product range versatility
-
Low maintenance
The benefit of low belt tension allows for exceptionally long runs translating into significantly increased number of tiers. The substantial quantity of conveying belt in this relatively small footprint offers manufacturers increased production and profitability.

This low tension Live-Drum Spiral having longer runs and multiple tiers in its design can attain greater elevation changes compared to shaft and sprocket driven high tension spirals. While the number of tiers is limited by the complex drive system and chain pull limitations in high tension spirals, the Live-Drum Spiral’s effective edge wrap driving force maintains low tension throughout multiple tiers resulting in higher elevation designs. Left: The rotating stainless steel drum imparts the driving force to the inside edge of the belt creating very low tension. |

Most products that can be transported on a conveyor can also travel on a Live-Drum Spiral system. The gentle, uniform slope of the Drum Spiral Conveyor assures no disturbance of product flow. This equipment can transport packages such as jars, tubs, cups, bundles, cans, bottles, bags, pouches, cartons, totes and cases. Further, the Live-Drum Spiral can be designed to accommodate several sizes of products on one production line with no changeover. |
| Another advantage of the low tension Live-Drum Spiral Conveyor is minimal maintenance. Competing high tension spirals have multiple drives, motors, bearings, rollers and hundreds of moving parts to maintain. The continual low tension operation of the Drum Spiral results in longer life of the two drives, belt and other components in the system. The unit link belting utilized in the Live-Drum Spiral allows for quick repairs. | |
