Dietz Flighted elevator conveyor

• Transporting bulk food products such as vegetables, fruits, or confectionery.
• Moving granular materials like grains, seeds, or spices in processing lines.
• Elevating small components or finished goods in packaging operations.
• Feeding processing machinery from floor level hoppers or bins.

Typical throughput

Throughput for this class of flighted elevator conveyor typically ranges from 500 kg/hr to 2000 kg/hr, depending on product density and flight configuration.

Power supply

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

Belt material

Belts are typically food-grade PVC or PU, selected for durability, hygiene, and resistance to oils or abrasives.

Footprint

The overall footprint for a flighted elevator conveyor is generally compact, designed for integration into existing production lines.

Infeed height

Infeed heights commonly range from 150mm to 500mm, allowing for easy loading from various sources.

Discharge height

Discharge heights typically vary from 1200mm to 2500mm, accommodating different receiving equipment.

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

  Flighted elevator conveyors are best suited for bulk, free-flowing, or semi-free-flowing products that require elevation without spillage. This includes a wide range of food products, granules, and small components.

• How easy is it to integrate this conveyor into an existing line?

• What maintenance is typically required for a used unit?

• Can the belt speed be adjusted?

• What are the common safety features on such equipment?

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.
