Apollo VTS manufacturing details

Apollo VTS is a division of The Royal Apollo Group of Holland, with 175 years of proud family ownership and tradition. As a worldwide player, the establishment of a production facility in Thailand, along with sales offices in Thailand and China, enables faster shipping times for customers across the Asia-Pacific region.

The Apollo VTS spiral conveyor is typically constructed using high-quality materials chosen for their durability, reliability, and suitability for various industrial applications. While specific materials may vary depending on customisation options and your specific requirements, the following are commonly used in the construction of the Apollo VTS spiral conveyor:

  • Stainless Steel

    Stainless steel is a preferred choice for many components of the Apollo VTS spiral conveyor due to its excellent corrosion resistance, hygienic properties, and strength. 

  • Mild Steel

    Mild steel may be used for certain structural components of the spiral conveyor frame or support structure. Powder coated mild steel is often employed to provide additional protection against corrosion and abrasion while offering cost-effective solutions.

  • Aluminium

    Aluminium is valued for its lightweight properties, making it suitable for applications where weight reduction is critical.

  • Plastics

    Certain components of the Apollo VTS spiral conveyor, such as chain guides, wear strips, or conveyor belt modules, may be made from high-quality plastics such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), or acetal (POM). 

Overall, the Apollo VTS spiral conveyor is engineered with a combination of materials chosen to ensure durability, longevity, and optimal performance in demanding industrial environments. Each material is selected based on its specific properties and suitability for the intended application, resulting in an efficient spiral conveyor belt you can rely on.

Frequently Asked Questions

WHAT IS A SPIRAL CONVEYOR?

A spiral conveyor is a specialised type of conveyor system designed to transport materials or products in a continuous, helical path, typically in a vertical orientation. Unlike traditional conveyors that move items horizontally or on an incline, spiral conveyors utilise a spiral-shaped belt or chain to facilitate the vertical movement of goods.

WHAT'S THE LIFESPAN OF A SPIRAL CONVEYOR?

The lifespan of a spiral conveyor depends on various factors, including the quality of materials used in its construction, the frequency of use, maintenance practices, and operating conditions. Generally, a well-maintained spiral conveyor can have a lifespan ranging from several years to over a decade, providing reliable service throughout its operational life. 

Ongoing support from MCL can help keep your spiral conveyor running well for many years to come.
