Ambit - Ambit Flighted elevator conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

• Elevating bulk food products from one processing stage to another.
• Transferring ingredients from floor level hoppers to mixers or packaging machines.
• Moving delicate items like snacks, confectionery, or fresh produce without damage.
• Feeding multihead weighers or other high-level processing equipment.
• Integrating into automated production lines requiring vertical product movement.

Typical Specifications

Typical throughput

Varies significantly based on product density, flight design, and belt speed, but units of this type commonly handle several tonnes per hour.

Power supply

For this class of industrial equipment, a 3-phase electrical supply is standard, typically 400V, 50Hz in the UK.

Construction material

Units designed for food processing, such as this Ambit, are typically constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and durability.

Belt material

Belts are commonly made from food-grade materials like PU (polyurethane) or PVC, selected for durability and ease of cleaning.

Elevation range

Flighted elevators commonly offer a significant vertical lift, enabling transfer between different processing levels.

Footprint

The overall length and width are key considerations, with units typically designed for efficient vertical transfer within a production line.
