New Washdown Spiral Conveyor by Nercon

Nercon, a manufacturer of conveying systems, announces the launch of Washdown Spiral by Nercon. This first-of-a-kind conveyor was designed specifically with sanitation in mind.

Sanitary Design Features include:

Open construction for readily accessible cleaning, inspection and maintenance
Corrosion resistant stainless steel construction and plastic belt
CIP design with open belt surface to easily washdown from any angle
Self-draining, bent frame construction to eliminate water pooling
Solid UHMW guide rails
Ability to withstand up to 1500 psi washdown pressure
Moderate use of corrosive chemicals
USDA compatible conveyor belt

The Washdown Spiral was built utilizing a proprietary edge driven design. This edge driven design includes sprockets that drive the chain in multiple locations which distributes the force across the entire length of the chain; not from just one location. With this design, the chain only needs to be strong enough to pull the load between any two sprockets instead of the entire length of the conveyor. This means:

The spiral can be built much taller allowing for higher elevation changes
There is reduced belt tension allowing for longer belt life
Increased load-carrying capacity

The edge driven conveyor belt is made from USDA compatible plastic material, bright blue for easy wear identification and breakage visibility, and modular allowing for replacement in sections instead of the entire belt.

All the features included in the Washdown Spiral make this a perfect conveyor system for CPGs running cases, jars, trays, pouches or cups in the food and beverage, health and beauty, household or pet food industries.

“We are very excited to announce the launch of Washdown Spiral by Nercon. With this addition to our line of conveyor systems we are now able to provide manufacturers with another conveyor option that will meet the higher sanitation standards required in today’s manufacturing facilities”, says Steve Anklam, Vice President.

See the new Washdown Spiral on display for the first time at PACK EXPO Las Vegas, September 25 – 27, 2017 in Nercon booth C-4914.
