ELEVATED CONVEYOR

• Used for transporting bulk materials upwards to processing lines or packaging machinery.
• Commonly employed in food processing for elevating products like vegetables, snacks, or ingredients.
• Suitable for moving granular or small solid items in manufacturing and recycling operations.
• Utilised in agricultural settings for conveying crops or feed to storage or processing.

Typical throughput

Throughput for this class of elevated conveyor is typically dependent on belt speed and material density, often ranging from 1 to 5 tonnes per hour for light to medium materials.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with motor power varying from 0.75kW to 2.2kW.

Belt width

This unit features a 600mm wide belt, which is a common size for medium-capacity elevated conveyors.

Flight height

Fitted with approximately 70mm high flights, suitable for preventing material rollback on inclines.

Discharge height

The tipping height of approximately 1520mm is typical for feeding into standard processing equipment or hoppers.

Construction material

Frames for industrial elevated conveyors are typically constructed from mild steel or stainless steel, depending on the application and hygiene requirements.

Footprint

The footprint will vary based on the incline angle and overall length, but units of this type require sufficient floor space for the base and discharge point.

• What types of materials can this conveyor handle?

  Elevated conveyors with flighted belts are typically suitable for a wide range of bulk, granular, or small solid materials that require upward transport, such as aggregates, grains, vegetables, or plastic pellets.

• Is this conveyor suitable for washdown environments?

• What maintenance is typically required for an elevated conveyor?

• Can the belt speed be adjusted?

• What are the typical safety features on this type of equipment?

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.
