Case spirals
Compact, Continuous Vertical Case Handling
FPS Food Process Solutions, a global turnkey food processing technology provider, offers Case Spirals that efficiently elevate and lower cases, cartons, totes, and packaged products in a continuous flow while minimizing floor space. Built for demanding food processing environments, they feature 100% stainless steel construction and a NEMA 4X stainless steel control panel for reliable washdown performance.
Designed for high-throughput applications, FPS Case Spirals provide smooth product movement and accommodate multiple case sizes without changeovers. Their compact, space-saving design delivers an efficient alternative to traditional conveyors and lifts, helping processors optimize production flow, maximize facility utilization, and support future growth.
Stainless Steel Construction
All FPS equipment is designed according to hygienic design principles using stainless steel and food-grade materials. FPS Case Spirals feature:
100% 304 stainless steel construction
Fully welded, continuous TIG-welded structural connections
Minimal bolted connections
Food-grade materials and sanitary finishes throughout
The result is a durable, easy-to-clean solution built for demanding food production environments.
Custom Configurations
FPS Case Spirals can be configured to meet a wide range of facility layouts and process requirements, including:
Up-Go or Down-Go operation
Clockwise or counterclockwise rotation
Customizable infeed and discharge locations
Four standard configurations
Custom entry and exit angles available upon request
This flexibility makes integration into new or existing production lines simple and efficient.
High Capacity Performance
Designed to handle heavy loads with ease, FPS Case Spirals offer capacities of up to 1,325 lbs. (600kg). The low-friction, acetal plastic belting system enables smooth continuous transport of large totes and heavy cases while minimizing wear and energy consumption.
The modular slat chain is available with or without friction modules to meet specific product-handling requirements.
Easy Installation
FPS Case Spirals are shipped fully assembled and factory-tested, reducing installation time and complexity. In most cases, setup consists of positioning the unit, raising it into place, and connecting power to the control panel.
