Ctrak stainless elevator conveyor

• Transporting bulk ingredients or finished products between different processing stages.
• Feeding packaging machinery or filling lines.
• Elevating products for inspection or sorting.
• Integrating into automated production lines requiring vertical product movement.

Typical throughput

Varies significantly based on product density, belt speed, and incline angle, but units of this class typically handle several hundred kilograms per hour.

Power supply

Commonly 3-phase industrial power, typically 400V, 50Hz in the UK.

Construction material

Units for food processing are typically constructed from 304 or 316 grade stainless steel for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Footprint

The base footprint is typically compact for its elevating function, but overall length depends on the required elevation and incline.

Belt material

Belts are commonly food-grade PVC, PU, or modular plastic, selected based on product characteristics and temperature.

Maintenance requirements

Regular cleaning, belt tension checks, and lubrication of bearings are typically required.

• What types of products are suitable for this conveyor?

  Elevator conveyors are typically suitable for a wide range of free-flowing or semi-solid food products, including granules, powders, small components, and packaged goods.

• Can the incline angle be adjusted?

• Is this unit suitable for washdown environments?

• What safety features are typically included?

• How is the belt driven?

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.
