Elevator logistics system，Continuous Vertical Conveyor
Continuous Vertical Conveyor (CVC)
Continuous Vertical Lifting Solution
High-Efficiency Vertical Material Handling · Seamless Multi-Floor Logistics Connection
I. Product Overview
The Continuous Vertical Conveyor (CVC) is a high-efficiency, continuous vertical material handling equipment that enables uninterrupted automatic transportation of goods between multiple floors through circularly running carriers (pallets/chains). Unlike reciprocating vertical conveyors that operate intermittently, the CVC achieves continuous material flow, significantly improving logistics efficiency.
II. Core Structural Features
2.1 Z-Type/C-Type Layout Design
- Z-Type Layout: Suitable for scenarios with opposite inlet/outlet directions, offering high space utilization
- C-Type Layout: Suitable for same-direction inlet/outlet configurations, facilitating linear production line arrangement
- Customizable Height: Lifting height range from 2-30 meters, unlimited number of floors
- Modular Design: Quick installation and easy expansion
