Guttridge Easyflo Mobile screw elevator

• Transferring granular or powdered materials from a lower to a higher point in a production line.
• Loading hoppers, mixers, or packaging machinery with bulk ingredients.
• Moving dry food products, chemicals, or aggregates in a controlled manner.
• Integrating into existing processing lines for flexible material handling.
• Batch feeding operations where precise material delivery is required.

Typical throughput

Throughput for this class of equipment typically ranges from a few hundred kilograms to several tonnes per hour, depending on material density and screw diameter.

Power supply

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

Material of construction

For food processing or corrosive environments, units commonly feature stainless steel construction for contact parts, as indicated by the hopper material.

Discharge height

Mobile screw elevators are designed with adjustable or fixed discharge heights, commonly up to 3 metres, to suit various receiving equipment.

Mobility

The 'mobile' designation indicates the unit is fitted with castors or wheels for easy repositioning within a facility.

Hopper capacity

Entry hoppers for mobile units typically range from 50kg to 250kg, designed for batch feeding.

• What types of materials can this screw elevator handle?

  This type of screw elevator is typically suitable for free-flowing powders, granules, and small bulk solids. Material characteristics like abrasiveness, stickiness, and particle size will influence performance.

• Is this unit suitable for outdoor use?

• What maintenance is typically required for a screw elevator?

• Can the discharge height be adjusted?

• What are the common safety features on units of this type?

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.
