NNP Elevator Conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

• Transferring bulk food ingredients from floor level to processing machinery.
• Elevating products for packaging lines or filling operations.
• Moving items between different stages of a food production process.
• Loading hoppers or storage bins with raw or semi-processed food items.

Typical Specifications

Typical throughput

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

Power supply

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

Construction material

For food processing applications, the frame and contact parts are typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel.

Elevation range

Elevator conveyors commonly offer an elevation range suitable for lifting products from floor level up to typical processing equipment heights, often between 1000mm and 2500mm.

Belt type

Belts are typically food-grade PVC or PU, often with flights or cleats to prevent product rollback on inclines.

Footprint

The overall length and width can vary significantly, but buyers should consider the space required for both the incline and the horizontal feed/discharge sections.
