What is the difference between Conveyor Belt and Spiral Conveyor?

First, the Conveyor Belt relies on the continuous movement of the belt surface to transport materials. The Spiral Conveyor pushes the material forward through the rotation of the spiral.

Secondly, the Conveyor Belt structure is relatively simple, mainly including conveyor belt, driving device, etc. The Spiral Conveyor has a spiral shaft, spiral blades, pipes and other structures.

Third, the Conveyor Belt can realize horizontal and inclined transportation. The Spiral Conveyor can realize horizontal, inclined and vertical conveying and occupies a small area.

Finally, the conveyor belt is more suitable for conveying lumpy and larger materials. The Spiral Conveyor is better for conveying powdery and small-volume materials.

If long-distance transportation is required during production and the material is large-volume, it is best to use the Conveyor Belt for transportation, such as in mines, ports, etc.

If it is in a production plant with a small space, especially when conveying small-volume materials or high requirements for sealing, such as powdery and granular materials, the Spiral Conveyor is more suitable, such as in chemical industry, food processing and other fields.

In some special large-scale production lines, materials are processed multiple times. The Conveyor Belt and the Spiral Conveyor need to be used in combination to adapt to the needs of different production links. For example, in the recycling production line, the Conveyor Belt is more used in the early stage of recycling, and the Spiral Conveyor is more used in the later stage of recycling.

In short, the choice of Conveyor Belt or Spiral Conveyor should be comprehensively considered based on the material properties, conveying distance, spatial layout and specific process requirements.
