TWIN DRUM
SITE BUILT SPIRAL
-
The twin drum spiral provides ultra-flexibility on large volumes, typically between 3,000 kg/hr and 10,000 kg/hr of packed and unpacked product, ideal for medium to long retention times, low in and out or high in and out belt directions and multiple entry and exit positions. The twin drum (also called double drum) spiral orientation will also allow various footprint formats such as long rectangular where factory width is tight or a square design, both styles allowing maximum roof height to be utilised if needed.
-
✔️ Typically for 3,000 kg/hr to in excess of 10,000 kg/hr
✔️ Large volumes of small products or for larger and longer freeze time products
✔️ Multiple belt width, configuration and material options
✔️ In low and out low or in high and out high configurations
✔️ Branded major components for maximum reliability
✔️ Highly efficient airflow with variable control options
✔️ For freezing and cooling packed and unpacked product
✔️ British bespoke design and project management

DIRECT DRUM
DRIVE SPIRAL
-
Where product placement on the belt becomes critical and operating conditions are likely to cause a regular lo-tension spiral to require excessive cleaning to maintain low tensions, then the drum driven spiral should be considered. With positive drum to belt engagement the system maintains a lower tension condition that would be well suited to situations where product debris increases belt-to-track friction, such as high flour, high grease or sugary applications.

DIRECT EDGE
DRIVE SPIRAL
-
For maximum flexibility in direct belt drive designs, the external edge drive solution provides a low tension spiral that eliminates the need for a central drum and provides the ability to run up and down belt directions in the same spiral stack, whether circular format or oval track format. With the removal of the central drive drum that conventional lo-tension spirals have, space can be made for an evaporator or other equipment that reduces the overall footprint of the spiral.
