Innovators of spiral efficiency: Intralox spiral solutions deliver significant advantages over competing technologies.
Eliminate Unscheduled Downtime
Spiralox belts completely eliminate excessive tension caused by metal wear debris. Downtime associated with belt flipping, which is caused by excessive tension, is also eliminated or reduced. While production jams may still occur, Spiralox belts facilitate easy and quick repair to keep downtime to a minimum.
Cut Product Loss in Half
Spiralox belts eliminate black specks (metal wear debris) and product sticking, which results in product loss.
Higher Product Quality
The plastic surface of Spiralox belts allows easy product release, thus reducing marking.
75% Less Maintenance = Less Downtime
The modular design of Spiralox belts makes repairs and changeovers simple and quick to maximize production time: no lubrication, no hot work permit, no welding, no grinding, no “flipping,” no special tools needed.
Longer Belt Life
Spiralox designs allow the belt to operate with very low tension, preventing premature wear and greatly reducing belt replacement costs. Spiralox Load Sharing Technology eliminates belt fatigue, the number one killer of metal belt systems.
Longer Component Life
Spiralox belts are lightweight and low friction, resulting in less tension and therefore less system fatigue: bull chains, sprockets, motors, cantilever arms, bearings, and gear boxes wear out less frequently. Catch points and metal wear debris are eliminated, resulting in longer cage bar cap and wearstrip life.
Retain Product Orientation
Intralox’s high friction top surface, lane dividers, and edge guards for Spiralox belts are used to retain orientation and/or contain product throughout the spiral, allowing for downstream efficiency gains in transport and packaging.
Increased Throughput
Light, plastic, low-friction materials and load sharing enable Spiralox belts to carry more product, increasing throughput.
Improved Product Release
Spiralox belts are hydrophobic, preventing moisture from adhering to the belt and facilitating easier product release.
Improved Energy Efficiency
Because Spiralox belts are lightweight and run with low tension, motors use fewer amps, thus reducing annual kilowatt usage and energy costs.
Easy Cleaning
Spiralox belts are easier and faster to clean than metal and other plastic spiral belts because there is no metal wear debris or lubricants.
Eliminate Metal Wear Debris
With Spiralox belting, the risk of black speck contamination is completely eliminated.
Heat Resistant Polymer
While proper safety precautions must still be followed, our heat resistant belt material will not sustain a flame and will melt and deform before the belt burns – an important safety precaution.
