Ctrak Flighted elevator conveyor

• Moving bulk materials from a lower to a higher processing stage.
• Feeding packaging machinery or filling lines.
• Transporting products between different levels in a production facility.
• Elevating food products, aggregates, or small components.

Construction material

This unit features a stainless steel frame, commonly found on units of this type for hygiene and durability.

Elevation range

This unit elevates from 600mm to 1100mm. Flighted elevators typically offer a range of incline angles and discharge heights.

Belt width

This unit has a 400mm belt width. Belt widths for flighted elevators commonly range from 200mm to 800mm, depending on throughput requirements.

Power supply

This unit operates on 3-phase power, which is standard for industrial conveyor systems of this class.

Throughput

Throughput for flighted elevators typically varies based on flight design, belt speed, and material density. Buyers should confirm specific throughput capabilities with the seller.

Footprint

The footprint will depend on the overall length and incline angle. For this class of equipment, it typically requires a linear space plus an elevated discharge point.

• What types of products are suitable for a flighted elevator?

  Flighted elevators are suitable for a wide range of bulk products, including granular materials, powders, small components, and certain food items. The flights prevent material rollback on inclines.

• How do I determine the correct belt type for my application?

• What maintenance is typically required for a flighted elevator?

• Can the speed of the conveyor be adjusted?

• What are the common safety features on these conveyors?

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.
