Food Tech Nord Stainless elevator conveyor with blower

• Transporting washed or wet produce between processing stages.
• Elevating products for packaging lines or further processing.
• Integrating into automated food production lines requiring elevation and drying.
• Moving items such as vegetables, fruits, or small packaged goods.

Typical throughput

Varies significantly with product type and density; commonly designed for continuous flow operations.

Power supply

Units of this class typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz in the UK.

Construction material

Stainless steel frame and components are standard for food processing environments, ensuring hygiene and durability.

Belt material

PVC mesh belts are common for wet applications due to their drainage properties and resistance to many food products.

Elevation range

Elevator conveyors typically offer adjustable or fixed elevation changes, suitable for bridging different machinery heights.

Footprint

The overall length and width will depend on the belt dimensions and the angle of elevation, requiring adequate floor space.

Cleaning features

Integrated water spray jets and blowers are common for washing and initial drying of products during conveyance.
