Smooth, Smart, and Sanitary: 5 Ways Edge Drive Spirals Outperform the Rest
Let’s face it—manufacturing today moves fast. That means you need systems that can keep up and shift gears when needed. If you want to increase throughput, reduce downtime, and simplify maintenance, the Edge Drive Spiral may be your facility's smart upgrade.
Let’s break down the key benefits:
✔︎ Greater flexibility
Edge Drive Spiral allows multiple products to run simultaneously due to the multiple belts and individual belt speeds. Inlets and outlets are on the same level, enabling smooth integration into existing outlines, and generating less changeover time.
✔︎ Easy cleaning
Due to the absence of an internal drum, the process of cleaning and maintenance becomes significantly easier and faster. This contributes to reduced operational costs and better hygiene, which are crucial in the food industry.
✔︎ Less product movement
The direct drive minimizes vibration in the belt, causing low-tension applications on the movement of the belt.
✔︎ Reliable belt performance
There is no risk of belt flipping or the “Christmas tree” effect, a term used to describe uneven stacking or bulging of the product. The friction remains stable across all tiers, controlling consistent individual tension.
✔︎ Reduced downtime
The design promotes reliable performance and less unexpected downtime due to the limited tension in the system.
In an industry where every second and every product counts, the Edge Drive Spiral stands out as a solution that’s flexible, efficient, and built for the future. From minimizing downtime to simplifying cleaning and supporting diverse product runs, it checks every box for modern food processing needs.
