A Vertical Reciprocating Conveyor (VRC) is a conveyor mounted to a platform which is raised and lowered to multiple elevations. The platform is attached to vertical chains which are mounted within a frame structure. A drive will power the chains to move the platforms. Products ride on the conveyor, normally in one direction known as up-service ...
1795 – The first conveyors appeared. Early conveyors were mainly used in ports to move agricultural products from shore to ship. 1804 – The British Navy began eating biscuits produced by the first steam operated conveyors.; 1892 – Manufacturer and inventor Thomas Robbins designed a conveyor belt system to transport coal and ore for Thomas Edison's Ore …
The vertical conveyor (vertical transfer device) serves as a floor connector in the material flow. A fully automatic operation takes place in interaction with loading and unloading stations. The vertical conveyor is designed for a temperature range of ±0 °C to +45 °C. However, use in the deep-freeze range down to -35 °C is also possible.
The Industrial Revolution and steam power improved the original design of the first conveyor system. By 1804, the British Navy began loading ships using steam-powered conveyor …
In general, a Vertical Conveyor is ideal for the following conditions: Unit + On-Floor + No Accumulate; Used for low-frequency intermittent vertical transfers (cf. vertical chain conveyor can be used for continuous high-frequency vertical transfers Carrier used to raise or lower a load to different levels of a facility (e.g., different floors and/or mezzanines)
The history of vertical reciprocating conveyors is vital to the world of technology. Many companies rely on the help of VRCs to transport materials from one level to another. Conveyor and lift machinery is also an essential part of American and global history. PFlow was the first company to offer custom, safe, and efficient VRCs to its customers.
