NNP Flighted elevator conveyor

• Elevating bulk food products from one processing stage to a higher one.
• Transferring delicate items such as fresh produce or baked goods without damage.
• Feeding multi-head weighers, packaging machines, or hoppers.
• Moving ingredients like grains, powders, or small components in a controlled manner.

Typical throughput

Throughput for this class of equipment varies significantly based on product density and flight design, but commonly ranges from several hundred kilograms to several tonnes per hour.

Power supply

This unit is specified as 1.1kW, 3-phase. For this type of industrial equipment, a 400V, 50Hz, 3-phase supply is standard in the UK.

Belt width

The listing indicates a belt width of 500mm. Flighted elevators commonly feature belt widths from 300mm to 1000mm, depending on application and product volume.

Construction material

This unit is described as stainless steel, which is standard for food processing environments due to hygiene requirements and corrosion resistance.

Elevation angle

Flighted conveyors typically operate at angles between 30 and 60 degrees, allowing for efficient vertical transport while preventing product rollback.

Footprint

The footprint is dependent on the elevation height and angle, but these units are designed to be space-efficient for vertical product transfer.

• What types of products are best suited for a flighted elevator?

  Flighted elevators are ideal for dry, granular, or small-piece products that require gentle handling and elevation. They are also suitable for some wet or sticky products, depending on flight design.

• How do I determine the correct flight spacing and height for my product?

• What maintenance is typically required for a used flighted elevator?

• Can the speed of the conveyor be adjusted?

• What safety features should I look for on a used elevator conveyor?

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.
