Abstract:
A spiral conveyor having a novel structure that is adapted to handle any chip while having a simple structure and is capable of achieving low vibration and low noise is provided. A tray for a spiral conveyor is configured from an outer tray, an inner tray which is placed over the inside of the outer tray, and a vibration damping material which is interposed between the outer tray and the inner tray. The tray has a fixing means for detachably fixing the inner tray and the vibration damping material to the outer tray on the outside of a conveyance spiral casing. The vibration damping material may be a single vibration damping material which is continuous over substantially all of the area between the outer tray and the inner tray, or may alternatively be arranged so as to be separated into a lower vibration damping material that is provided in a noise generation area with which a conveyance spiral is brought into contact and upper vibration damping materials that are provided in a noise propagation area including the fixed portion.

Claim (Index 3):
The silent spiral conveyor according to  claim 1 , further comprising:\n a pair of projecting rails extend in a direction of conveyance at two opposite-angle positions with respect to a center line of said inner tray for substantially supporting said conveyance spiral member, said first vibration dampening material is divided into an arcuate lower vibration dampening material interposed between said outer tray and said inner tray over an area covering the center line and said rails, and a pair of planar upper vibration dampening materials interposed between said outer tray and said inner tray at the opposite end portions thereof fixed by said fixing means.
