Swan-neck Elevator Conveyor with flighted belt No.2

• Elevating bulk materials in food processing lines.
• Transferring products between different levels in packaging operations.
• Handling granular or small-particulate goods in pharmaceutical production.
• Moving agricultural produce such as vegetables or fruits post-harvest.
• Integrating into automated production lines requiring vertical material flow.

Typical capacity

Throughput for this class of equipment typically ranges from 500 kg/hr to several tonnes/hr, depending on belt width, flight design, and elevation angle.

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type, power requirements are typically 3-phase, 400V, 50Hz, with motor sizes varying based on load and elevation.

Construction material

As described, the frame is stainless steel, making it suitable for hygienic environments. Belts are typically food-grade PVC or PU with flights.

Footprint

The footprint will vary significantly based on the incline angle, elevation height, and horizontal length of the conveyor. Buyers should consult the seller for exact dimensions.

Elevation height

Swan-neck elevators typically offer elevation heights ranging from 1.5 metres to over 4 metres, depending on the specific design.

Belt width

Common belt widths for large units of this type can range from 300mm to 600mm or more, influencing material throughput.

• What types of products are suitable for a flighted belt swan-neck elevator?

  These conveyors are ideal for elevating a wide range of free-flowing, granular, or small-particulate products, as well as individually discrete items that require gentle handling during elevation.

• Is this conveyor suitable for washdown environments?

• What maintenance is typically required for this equipment?

• Can the speed of the conveyor belt be adjusted?

• What safety features should I look for?

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.
