NNP elevator conveyor

• Moving bulk food items from floor level to processing machinery.
• Transferring products between different stages of a processing line.
• Feeding packaging equipment with a continuous supply of product.
• Elevating ingredients for mixing or blending operations.

Typical capacity

Throughput for this class of equipment commonly ranges from 500 kg/hr to 5,000 kg/hr, depending on belt width and product density.

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on 400V, 3-phase power, with smaller units potentially using 230V, 1-phase.

Construction material

As stated, this unit is stainless steel, which is standard for food contact applications, offering corrosion resistance and ease of cleaning.

Belt type

The Intralox belt specified is a modular plastic belt, commonly chosen for its durability, hygiene, and ease of maintenance in food environments.

Elevation range

This unit offers an elevation from 170mm to 750mm, a common range for feeding standard processing or packaging lines.

Footprint

The footprint for an elevator conveyor of this type is typically compact, designed to fit within existing line layouts, with length varying based on the required incline and height.

Hygiene standards

Equipment for food processing is typically designed to meet relevant hygiene standards, such as those required for HACCP compliance.

• What types of products are suitable for this conveyor?

  This type of elevator conveyor with an Intralox belt is generally suitable for a wide range of loose, bulk food products, including vegetables, fruits, confectionery, and baked goods.

• Is the belt easy to clean and maintain?

• Can the speed of the conveyor be adjusted?

• What are the typical safety features?

• Is installation complex for a used unit?

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.
