Breitner Flighted elevator conveyor

• Transferring bulk materials from a lower to a higher processing stage.
• Feeding packaging machinery with products like snacks, granules, or small components.
• Elevating ingredients within food processing lines, such as vegetables or confectionery.
• Moving small parts or waste materials in manufacturing or recycling operations.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, hopper capacities commonly range from 50kg to 200kg, depending on material density and desired throughput.

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, suitable for industrial environments.

Elevation range

Flighted elevators commonly offer elevation ranges from approximately 300mm up to 2500mm, allowing integration into various production lines.

Belt width

Belt widths for flighted conveyors are typically between 100mm and 300mm, influencing the volume of material conveyed per cycle.

Construction material

For food and hygiene-sensitive applications, units are commonly constructed from stainless steel.

Footprint

Overall length for a unit elevating to 1.8m is typically around 2m to 3m, depending on the incline angle.

• What type of materials can this conveyor handle?

  Flighted elevators are well-suited for granular, free-flowing, or small solid products that require gentle handling and elevation, such as cereals, nuts, sweets, or small plastic components.

• Is this unit suitable for washdown environments?

• How is the elevation height adjusted?

• What maintenance is typically required for a flighted elevator?

• Can this conveyor be integrated into an existing production line?

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.
