The Bakery Tub Elevator is manufactured from Grade 304 stainless steel, is a welded construction throughout and is designed to be bolted to the floor with some additional bracing near the top.

Safety Guard to BS EN 14120:2015 Safety of Machinery Guards

This Bakery Tub Elevator is supplied complete with a safety guard to meet the guidelines of BS EN 14120:2015 Safety of Machinery Guards. The safety guard is constructed from 80 x 40 x 3mm stainless steel box section and 40 x 40mm aperture, 3mm wire stainless steel weld mesh which encloses the Bakery Tub Elevator to a height of 7820mm on all sides with a pair of hinged safety guard doors at the loading position. The guard doors are electrically and mechanically interlocked preventing the machine from operating when a door is open. Additionally, the guard doors can only be opened when the lift carriage is at the full down position to prevent access whilst a load is raised.

Bakery Tub Elevator Electrical Control

This Bakery Tub Elevator is fitted with an IP65 Stainless Steel Control Panel which is mounted on the Safety Guard at a convenient position to give good maintenance access under the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulation 1998 (PUWER). The control panel incorporates the following controls; Up, Down, Guard Release, Emergency Stop and a Reset Facility.

Upper and Lower end of travel limit switches are positioned to prevent inadvertent adjustment or damage but are easily adjustable by trained personnel for fine adjustment on site. The Bakery Tub Elevator operation is latched so that pressing the ‘Up’ push button once will raise the lift to the full tip position. Once the product has been discharged, after an adjustable time period, the Bakery Tub Elevator will return to the full down position. The control panel has a volt free pair of contacts which can be used to connect a ‘Call to Run’ signal if required.
