  • Conveyor system with multiple level convergence apparatus
    Patent number: 8851272
    Abstract: A conveyor system and method is described for conveying articles between different levels of a structure. The conveyor system utilizes stacked helical shaped conveyors to move articles up from a first level and down from a third level to a common second level. The conveyor system may also move articles down from the second level to the first level or up from the second level to the third level. The stacked helical conveyors eliminate the need for gated lifts or ramps and also minimize the footprint required to convey articles between levels.
