Vertical reciprocating conveyor
From wikiMHEDA
A vertical reciprocating conveyor (VRC) is a vertical conveyor that moves perpendicular to the floor and provides intermittent operation of a single load-carrying platform or cage which travels up and down on steel rails or guidepaths. A VRC more closely resembles a lift or freight elevator than a conventional conveyor. There are many configurations of VRCs including those with a single mast, single rail, double mast, double rail and even models which offer incline travel versus strict vertical travel. There are numerous platform configurations ranging from a simple flat steel surface to a powered roller conveyor deck with controls that are integrated with the controls of powered feed and take away conveyor lines at the different levels.[1]
