The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) uses a multi-stage collimator system to absorb the growing halo of circulating beams to protect and ensure reliable operation of superconducting magnets. A similar system is planned for the Future Circular Collider (FCC). In anticipation of the LHC operation with high luminosity, research is being conducted to improve the collimation system. Studies have shown that one of the solutions to improve beam collimation is to use channeling in a short curved crystal, which acts as a primary collimator, throwing particles deep into the secondary collimator by channeling. This system is very sensitive to the angular position of the crystal and possible vibrations of different nature. In this paper, we propose a different approach to crystal collimation based on the volume reflection of particles from curved crystallographic planes in a sequence of crystals. The positive qualities of this scheme are substantiated and a multi-strip crystal device capable of implementing it is proposed.
