What are the applications of polymer spiral chutes in the logistics industry
The polymer spiral chute is mainly made of UHMWPE polymer polyethylene and fiberglass composite materials, relying on gravity for non powered transportation, and utilizing spiral curvature for buffering and speed control, wear resistance, and anti-static. Its core solutions include multi-layer warehousing, high drop transportation in sorting centers, protection of fragile items, and space intensif
The polymer spiral chute is mainly made of UHMWPE polymer polyethylene and fiberglass composite materials, relying on gravity for non powered transportation, and utilizing spiral curvature for buffering and speed control, wear resistance, and anti-static. Its core solutions include multi-layer warehousing, high drop transportation in sorting centers, protection of fragile items, and space intensification. It covers the entire logistics scene of express delivery, e-commerce, airports, pharmaceuticals, books, cold chain, and factory automation.
1、 Express forwarding center (core application)
1. Multi layer cross belt sorting machine for vertical unloading and packaging of goods
Each sorting grid of the multi-layer sorting line is equipped with a spiral chute, which smoothly transports 2/3/4 layer sorting packages to the bottom collection cage and sorting truck area, replacing elevators and climbing belt conveyors; The hourly throughput of a single chute can reach 3000 pieces, with continuous and uninterrupted transportation without any start stop waiting. It is suitable for intermediate and transfer stations with a daily average of over 100000 pieces.
2. Separation of large and small items, incorrect sorting of packages, and removal of backflow
Small soft package, file bag, narrow spiral groove for standard express delivery under 5kg; Customized large-diameter spiral groove for medium-sized cardboard boxes and woven bags for packaging; Remove the abnormal return line of the chute docking and automatically recover packages that were mistakenly divided.
3. Cross floor transfer in and out of the port
The storage and unloading area and the outbound sorting area are separated by floors, and the spiral chute realizes the interconnection between the upper and lower layers of packages, occupying only one-third of the area of traditional conveying equipment, greatly saving sorting space.
4. Explosion proof and anti-static scenarios
Polymer insulation and anti-static modified material, suitable for conveying express packages containing batteries, to avoid electric sparks caused by metal sliding grooves and reduce safety hazards.
2、 E-commerce intelligent warehousing (JD/Cainiao regional warehouse, live streaming cloud warehouse)
1. Multi layer shelves and attic picking area cross layer conveyor
The high-level picking platform and the second floor picking area transport the sorted order packages directly to the first floor packaging and review area through a spiral chute, eliminating the need for manual handling and vertical lifting, and operating with zero electricity costs.
2. Fragile items and warehouse specific gentle conveying
3C digital, beauty, mother and baby, fresh fruit packaging, spiral curved centrifugal force buffering, controllable sliding speed, significantly reducing carton collision, corner wear, and internal damage, reducing the damage rate by more than 50%.
3. Parallel diversion of multiple orders (multi inlet spiral chute)
Multi channel feeding integrated chute, with multiple picking lines synchronously dropping packages and centralized collection at the same packaging station, improving order processing efficiency by 300%.
4. Narrow width dedicated sliding groove for book storage
The narrow spiral groove is suitable for conveying single books and magazines, with smooth inner walls that do not scratch the corners of the books, and multiple parallel sliding grooves to achieve sorting and outbound by category.
3、 Airport baggage/air cargo logistics
1. Terminal baggage sorting and cross layer transfer
At the high-level sorting line of the check-in counter, luggage is transported down the spiral chute to the bottom luggage trailer loading area, and the luggage and boarding boxes smoothly slide down without colliding or scratching the boxes.
2. Air cargo transfer of large cargo
Air cargo and cardboard packaging are transported with high drop height, made of lightweight polymer materials to reduce the load-bearing capacity of building steel structures. They are moisture resistant, rust proof, and suitable for semi outdoor humid environments at airports.
4、 Pharmaceutical and food clean logistics warehousing
1. GMP pharmaceutical warehouse, health product sorting
Fiberglass/food grade PE polymer is free of burrs, rust, easy to clean, and does not produce metal debris to contaminate drugs; Anti static characteristic protection medicine box, aluminum foil packaging, meets clean room standards.
2. Food and beverage finished product warehouse, packaging workshop
Whole box beverage, snack, PET empty bottle cross layer transportation, smooth inner wall without scratching the bottle body and outer packaging; Low temperature resistant polymer chute specifically designed for low-temperature cold storage, which does not crack or deform in an environment of -30 ℃.
5、 Cold chain and low-temperature warehousing logistics
Cold storage and fresh food distribution centers use high and low drop transportation, modified polyethylene is resistant to low temperatures, metal chutes are prone to condensation and rust at low temperatures, and condensed water corrodes goods. Polymer chutes are hydrophobic and moisture-proof, and will not produce rust water pollution on fresh packaging. At the same time, they provide cushioning and shock absorption to avoid damage from fruit and vegetable collisions.
6、 Manufacturing internal logistics (raw material/finished product warehouse)
1. Component warehousing turnover
Small parts turnover boxes and plastic parts from electronic factories and auto parts factories slide down from the second floor shelves to the assembly line, insulated and demagnetized, without interfering with magnetic components and circuit boards.
2. Offline transportation of finished packaging boxes
The production line has a high-level offline port, and the spiral chute directly transports finished cardboard boxes to the packaging and stacking areas, eliminating the need for power conveyors and reducing factory energy consumption and equipment maintenance.
