Vertical Conveyor

Bastian will examine your needs and goals to assist you in determining the best vertical conveyor available to meet your material handling integration needs. Vertical conveyor technologies vary to best suit the needs of the application. Some of the technologies we employ to include:

Spiral lifts
Spiral lifts are designed to continuously convey both large and small products vertically without jamming, sliding or tumbling. Cartons, bags, and many other types of unpackaged products can easily be conveyed without the problems associated with other vertical lifting systems. Spiral lifts have a high drive capacity and a tight radius. Spiral lifts are available with numerous belts and stack configurations.

Spiral Chutes
Spiral Chutes are economical vertical conveyors which provide a safe, secure means of lowering product. The spiral chute provides at least three times the floor savings over conventional decline conveyors. Also, the size of the chute allows it to be used in tight situations such as elevator shafts and other small spaces. Typically spiral chutes are constructed from steel or fiber glass depending upon the application.

Steel spiral chutes are the perfect solution for applications with a continuous flow of a standardized plastic tote. The spiral design saves floor space and ensures a controlled descent. Likewise, the conveying width of the spiral tote slide can vary to match the size of any tote used to customize your design needs in a certain application.

Similarly fiberglass spiral chutes help control the descending speed of your products. The self start characteristics of the gel coated fiberglass assist products to flow freely, gently, and safely. Likewise, in high humidity situations the self starting characteristic of the gel coated fiberglass assists products to flow freely, gently, and safely. In contrast, products typically stick and hang up in common steel chutes when humid conditions prevail.

Continuous vertical conveyors

Continuous vertical conveyors allow for efficient high speed vertical accumulation. The construction utilizes steel reinforced urethane belting in place of roller chain. The urethane belting is extremely resistant to oil, grease, and gasoline; chemically resistant to ozone and sunlight; hydrolysis resistant; acid and alkali resistant; and requires no lubrication. Parallel steel cables integrally molded in the urethane provide excellent tensile strength and high resistance to elongation.

Vertical case lifts

Vertical case lifts raise or lower cases, cartons, or other packages while occupying a minimum amount of floor space - much smaller than a spiral lift. In addition vertical case lifts can be fabricated from stainless steel for wash down applications. Due to the flight design, our vertical case lifts are preferred equipment at several leading food processing plants.

Package handling lifts
Package handling lifts move materials between two or more levels. These lifts provide fast, safe lifting of small loads and packages. Package handling lifts feature a counterweighted lifting mechanism for smooth, quiet, operation. Package handling lifts are ideal for high speed applications that require light duty lifting of boxes, cartons, packages, totes, containers, or cases.

Rubber chain continuous vertical lifts
Rubber chain continuous vertical lifts can be adapted to suit most items for vertical/horizontal transport. Several arrangements of conveyor configurations are available to raise and lower vertically. Shrink wrapped packages, cardboard boxes, containers, part manufactured components, and unwrapped products are moved quickly, quietly, and safely. Rubber chain continuous lifts can operate at speeds up to 120 feet per minute and can accommodate loads up to 3300 lbs. and provide very quiet, smooth operation.
