With the correct heights set, the distances between the Spiral Elevator
ends and the adjacent conveyors / machines can be set. The gap between
spiral conveyor end and adjacent conveyor / machine should not be greater
than 25mm and depends upon various factors such as product being
transferred and safety considerations.
A sliding bridge or roller bridge may be needed for transfer of products.
