JayCraft Potato Sample Washer - New Feed Elevator

• Feeding processing machinery such as peelers, slicers, or dicers in food production lines.
• Elevating bulk ingredients or finished products to different heights within a processing facility.
• Integrating into automated production lines for continuous material flow.
• Transferring products between different stages of washing, sorting, or packaging.

Typical capacity

Throughput for this class of equipment typically ranges from 500 kg/hour to several tonnes/hour, depending on belt width and incline.

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type is a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with motor power varying based on load and incline.

Construction material

As described, stainless steel is standard for food-grade applications, ensuring hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Belt material

Food-grade belting, often PVC or PU, is used to comply with hygiene standards and resist wear from product contact.

Incline angle

Typical incline angles range from 30 to 60 degrees, often adjustable, to suit various feeding requirements and facility layouts.

Footprint

The footprint will vary significantly based on the required elevation height and belt length, but units are designed for efficient space utilisation.
