SPIRAC is the global leader in vertical sludge conveying with hundreds of SPIROLIFT® installations worldwide. This proven technology offers significant cost and operational advantage over alternate methods of sludge elevation and transport.
SPIROLIFT® vertical conveyors feature an octagonal trough and liner. The breaks in the liner provide a resistance point which helps to prevent slippery materials from forming a rotating plug, thereby encouraging the material to move vertically with the spiral face. Wide-faced, short pitch spirals provide a large lifting surface with very little material fallback down the center of the spiral. Unlike shafted spirals which may suffer from a buildup of material around the shaft, especially at the discharge point, shaftless spirals discharge material efficiently to the receiving conveyor.
SPIROLIFT® vertical octagonal (OK) conveyors are specially designed to achieve vertical conveying of dewatered sludges and other difficult to transport materials.
