Flighted Conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

• Transporting bulk materials such as grains, powders, or small components horizontally or at an incline.
• Moving products between different stages of a processing line, such as from a mixer to a packaging machine.
• Handling materials in food processing for gentle transfer of delicate items.
• Loading or unloading hoppers, silos, or other storage containers.
• Waste material removal in various industrial settings.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Varies significantly based on belt width, flight height, and speed, but commonly ranges from several hundred kilograms to several tonnes per hour for this class of equipment.

Power supply

Typically 3-phase industrial supply (e.g., 400V, 50Hz) for the motor, though smaller units may use single-phase.

Conveyor length

Commonly found in lengths from 2 to 10 metres, but custom lengths are available. Buyers should confirm the exact length with the seller.

Belt material

Often food-grade PVC or polyurethane for hygiene, or rubber for general industrial use. Stainless steel construction is common for the frame in food applications.

Flight configuration

Flights can vary in height and spacing, influencing the type and volume of material that can be conveyed, especially on inclines.

Motor power

Typically ranges from 0.37 kW to 2.2 kW, depending on the conveyor's length, width, and intended load.
