Typical Specifications

Typical throughput

Throughput for this class of elevator conveyor is highly variable, depending on product density and belt speed, but typically ranges from hundreds of kilograms to several tonnes per hour.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, which is standard for industrial equipment in the UK.

Construction material

For food processing applications, the frame is typically stainless steel, and the belt material is commonly food-grade PVC or polyurethane for hygiene and durability.

Elevation range

Elevator conveyors are designed to lift products to various heights; for this type of unit, an elevation range from approximately 900mm to 1700mm is commonly found.

Mobility

Many units in this category are designed to be mobile, often fitted with castors, allowing for flexible placement and use across different production lines.

Belt width

Belt widths for this class of equipment typically range from 300mm to 600mm, accommodating various product sizes and volumes.
