The Dorner spiral chute is an economical way to gently move product down to a lower level, with gravity doing all the work. As product enters the spiral chute, gravity takes over to safely slide packages down to the lower level. The stair-step design ensures products won’t get stuck or jammed when being lowered from overhead conveyors, mezzanines or platforms. Even if packages begin to accumulate as they travel down, the spiral chute's design is self-clearing to prevent jams. The spiral chutes is ideal for lightweight products with a variety of package types including cardboard, pouches, flexible packaging, corrugated boxes and others. The stair-step design allows for different sized packages (lengths as short as 3 inches, weights between 1 ounce to 50 pounds) to be lowered at the same time for added flexibility.
