Operating method for spiral conveyor system, involves gathering data relating to position of balance roll in conveyor system, and using this data to control servo unit which in turn powers drum drive of system
摘要
<p>A collection mechanism (15) gathers the data corresponding to the position of a balance roll (14) in a spiral conveyor system (1). The gathered data is used to control a servo unit (16), which powers the drum drive (4) within the system. The servo unit can also be controlled based the operating condition of a belt drive (6). An independent claim is also included for a spiral conveyor system.</p>
