SR Pack Flighted elevator conveyor

• Elevating bulk food products from one processing stage to a higher one.
• Feeding multihead weighers or packaging machines from floor-level hoppers.
• Transferring delicate items such as confectionery, snacks, or frozen foods.
• Moving ingredients like grains, nuts, or prepared vegetables within a production line.
• Integrating into automated lines requiring a consistent, elevated product feed.

Typical throughput

Throughput for this class of equipment typically ranges from 500 kg/hour to 2,000 kg/hour, depending on product density and flight configuration.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on a 400V, 3-phase, 50Hz electrical supply, with power consumption typically around 0.3kW to 1.5kW.

Material construction

For food processing applications, these conveyors are typically constructed from 304-grade stainless steel for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Belt material

Belts are commonly made from food-grade PVC or PU, often with vulcanised flights for durability and ease of cleaning.

Elevation range

Flighted elevator conveyors commonly offer elevation changes from 500mm to over 3000mm, with the specific incline angle adjustable to suit product characteristics.

Footprint

The footprint varies significantly based on the required elevation and belt length, but buyers should consider the base dimensions and the overall length of the incline.

Cleaning access

Designs typically incorporate features for easy cleaning, such as quick-release belts or open-frame construction, crucial for food safety.

• What types of products are suitable for a flighted elevator conveyor?

  These conveyors are well-suited for a wide range of free-flowing and semi-free-flowing food products, including granular, diced, frozen, and delicate items, where gentle handling and elevation are required.

• How important is the flight design?

• What maintenance is typically required for this type of conveyor?

• Can this conveyor be integrated into an existing line?

• Are there specific hygiene standards to consider?

Buyers typically value conveyor systems for their reliability and longevity when well-maintained. Key considerations when purchasing used units include belt condition, motor functionality, frame integrity, and available spare parts. Industry sentiment emphasises the importance of verifying operational history and cleanliness standards, particularly for food handling applications. Common strengths include robust construction, relatively straightforward maintenance requirements, and cost savings versus new equipment. Reputable manufacturers' models tend to hold their value well and integrate readily into existing production lines.
