Briefly introduce the spiral groove of the maintenance platform
The spiral chute of the maintenance platform is an integrated equipment in the logistics sorting system that combines the maintenance channel and the spiral conveying of goods. Simply put, it is a "maintenance aisle that rotates around the spiral chute+a repairable spiral chute".

1、 Basic composition
Spiral groove body: U-shaped/arc-shaped groove body, generally made of high polymer wear-resistant plastic (UHMWPE) or fiberglass, without power, sliding down by gravity; Spiral angle 5-10 °, controlled speed at 2-3m/s, anti impact and anti rollover.
Maintenance platform (walkway): a circular/spiral walkway arranged along the outer ring of the chute, equipped with guardrails, anti slip pedals, and stairs for personnel safety inspection, cleaning, and replacement.
Supporting frame: Carbon steel/stainless steel frame, fixed with sliding groove and platform to ensure overall rigidity and safe load-bearing.
2、 Core role
1. High drop unpowered conveying
Realize vertical drop conveying of 3-5 meters within a limited area, and can also turn 90 °/180 °; The entire process is free of electricity, silent, and energy-efficient.
2. Safety maintenance channel
No need to set up scaffolding, personnel can walk directly to any height of the chute to check for wear, jamming, and abnormal noise; Daily cleaning and replacement of wear-resistant parts without stopping or with less downtime.
3. Space intensive and flexible layout
Integrated chute and platform, small footprint and high utilization rate; Customizable diameter, number of turns, and exit direction based on floor and grid position, suitable for small item/package sorting.
4. Protect the goods and reduce damage
Smooth surface, gentle angle, uniform sliding, no rolling, no scraping; Suitable for e-commerce, express delivery, and small item sorting (envelopes, small packages, parts).
3、 Typical applications
Multi layer small item sorting grid (such as the four layer grid you asked earlier)
Downstairs/turning conveyor of cross belt sorting machine and slide type sorting machine
High drop small item transportation and maintenance in e-commerce warehouses, express delivery hubs, and pharmaceutical/book warehouses
