Vibrating Equipment for Material Handling and Processing
UK Bespoke Design and Manufacture of Vibrating Equipment
FS Fabrication designs and manufactures vibrating equipment in the United Kingdom for a wide range of material handling and processing applications. We build bespoke systems that help customers improve product flow, save floor space, reduce manual handling and increase production efficiency. From spiral elevators and vibrating feeders to screens, sieves, tube feeders and hopper discharge systems, our equipment is engineered to suit the process, product and operating environment.
Our approach combines practical engineering knowledge with robust UK manufacturing. Every project is developed around the customer’s requirements, including throughput, product characteristics, layout restrictions and hygiene or environmental demands. Whether the application involves conveying, cooling, screening, dosing or controlled discharge, FS Fabrication delivers equipment designed for reliable long-term industrial use.
Vibrating Spiral Elevators
FS Fabrication manufactures vibrating spiral elevators for efficient vertical conveying in compact production environments. These systems are ideal where floor space is limited but continuous product movement is required between process stages. Compared with traditional incline conveyors, a spiral elevator provides a smaller footprint while maintaining reliable product flow and gentle handling.
Our spiral elevators can be designed not only for conveying, but also for cooling, drying, screening, washing, recirculating and holding product during transfer. This makes them a practical solution for customers who want to combine multiple process functions into one compact system. Applications include food products, animal feed, plastic pellets, grains, powders, sand, biscuits and many other bulk or formed materials.
Every FS Fabrication spiral elevator is built to suit the application. We can manufacture in stainless steel, mild steel or specialist materials depending on hygiene requirements, product type and operating conditions. Our focus is on strong construction, low maintenance, efficient performance and easy integration with existing equipment.
Vibrating Dry Spiral Elevators
A vibrating dry spiral elevator allows product to be conveyed vertically while also supporting the drying process. This helps reduce floor space, simplify line layout and combine two important production functions into one machine. For many applications, this can improve efficiency and lower overall operating costs.
Dry spiral elevators are especially useful where continuous product movement and controlled dwell time are important. By combining conveying and drying in a compact vertical system, customers can reduce equipment footprint and support a more efficient production flow. FS Fabrication designs each unit around the product, capacity and process requirements of the customer.
90 Degree Vertical Conveying with Vibrating Spiral Elevators
A vibrating spiral elevator is one of the most effective ways to achieve 90 degree vertical conveying in a compact space. It helps move product efficiently from one level to another while offering three major advantages: reliable conveying, low maintenance and valuable floor-space savings.
This makes it a strong choice for factories looking to improve layout efficiency and production flow.
These systems are suitable for a wide range of materials and products, including food products, animal feed, PVC pellets, grains, powders, sand and other industrial materials. Each machine is designed to provide dependable handling with a layout that supports efficient plant integration.
Cooling Spiral Elevators
Cooling spiral elevators are designed to cool product while it is being conveyed vertically through the production line. This makes them particularly useful in applications where product temperature needs to be reduced before packing, storage or the next process stage. A properly designed cooling spiral elevator can improve line efficiency while reducing the need for additional cooling equipment.
At FS Fabrication, we can design spiral elevators with controlled cooling systems to achieve effective product temperature reduction with efficient energy use. Each system is engineered to match the material, required throughput and target cooling performance, giving customers a practical and reliable solution for continuous processing.
Re-Circulation Spiral Elevators
FS Fabrication has developed re-circulation spiral elevator systems that combine multiple vibrating functions within a compact layout. These systems are designed to support more automated production by improving product flow between different process stages and reducing manual handling requirements.
A re-circulation design can be particularly beneficial where customers need greater process control within limited space. By integrating multiple handling functions into one compact engineered solution, we help improve efficiency, support automation and reduce labour demand across the production line.
Super Duplex Vibrating Spiral Elevators
FS Fabrication can also manufacture vibrating spiral elevators in super duplex stainless steel for highly corrosive environments. This makes them suitable for demanding industrial or marine applications where standard materials may not provide the required resistance to corrosion and long-term wear.
Our super duplex spiral elevators are engineered for strength, durability and dependable operation in aggressive operating conditions. Where required, we can also develop specialist mobile or compact designs to suit restricted spaces, maintenance access needs or project-specific installation requirements.
