8/5 - Twisting pasta to floor level

A world leading pasta maker from Italy wanted to maximize their line efficiency and bring two separate product streams down to the next part of the line. One of the problems was that both streams had to come down on a very limited amount of space, which ruled out installing a separate machine for each stream.

AmbaFlex engineers always aim to solve problems in the most efficient way and come up with a suitable solution for every customer. In a standard situation, where both streams come together before entering the spiral, a single SpiralVeyor with two separately driven tracks would work flawlessly. Though in this layout the streams came in from multiple angles and heights which meant they had to find a different solution.

To connect to both the incoming and outgoing lines coming from different levels, they came up with a solution where they managed to combine two SpiralVeyors onto one column, essentially nesting them. Each with their own in and outfeed positions. The two nested spirals can pick up both streams and bring them down taking the same amount of floor space as one regular spiral.

With 20+ years of experience in finding creative and innovative solutions in a wide variety of markets, AmbaFlex is the partner for customized material handling systems.
