Vertical Reciprocating Conveyor (VRC)

The Vertical Reciprocating Conveyor (VRC) is designed to move materials vertically between ground level and various floor levels. It provides a dedicated vertical material-handling solution for facilities where materials need to be transferred between different elevations. According to the Axion PackTech catalogue, the system can be customized according to the application and can be designed as a 2-post or 4-post type, depending on technical parameters. The VRC incorporates several safety and structural features identified in the catalogue, including a safety cam to arrest sudden fall of the lift carriage in case of lifting-chain failure, heavy-duty “H” beams, chain tensioner, over-travel and under-travel safety provisions, along with a 100% safe maintenance and highly durable design as stated by the manufacturer. The catalogue also states that the VRC can be installed in a civil pit or on the floor and can use MS perforated sheet, pre-coated sheet or powder-coated sheet depending on the configuration. Applications include automobile, food & pharmaceutical, FMCG, cement, agriculture, plastic, chemical, warehouse and logistics industries.
