Optimized Retrofits

Our belts are designed to accommodate both new and existing spirals. Often, the right Intralox belt can help you overcome the challenges of your current system while avoiding the costs, downtime, and stresses of a new spiral installation. Our Optimization Services Group (OSG) can partner with you to design an ideal retrofit solution and manage your retrofit project from start to finish.

Small Footprints

By making better use of available vertical space, spiral conveyors allow you to store, process, and handle a large amount of product within a relatively small footprint. If your line layout restricts available floor space, a friction-driven spiral equipped with Intralox spiral belting is a viable option.
