Stainless steel spiral conveyor

ICA has released a spiral conveyor system made from food grade stainless steel specifically for applications in the food and beverage industries.

The spiral conveyors can be installed for cooling and setting in the food manufacture and processing industry, allowing efficient use of vertical space without sacrificing horizontal travel length or speeds. In addition, the equipment can be used to hygienically and quickly transfer product between floors using only a small amount of floor space.

The applicability and efficiency gained is useful for almost every food industry process including baking, glazing, cooling, setting, defrosting, dairy, dehumidifying, chilling and freezing. Facilitating continuous product flow, units are highly suitable for cooling and drying applications in controlled temperatures.

The stainless steel spiral conveyors allow precise set-up of travel speeds so that each unit of product arrives at the appropriate manufacturing process at exactly the right temperature and physical condition.

This travel speed is set in relation to temperature-controlled drying and cooling times, so effectively a company does not have to specifically store product on shelving while waiting for the curing process to complete.

Operating temperatures range from -40 to +250°C. It also works efficiently across the entire humidity spectrum - from completely saturated environment to that of low humidity. When required, stainless units can be given hygienic washdowns.
