NNP - NNP flighted elevator conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

• Elevating delicate or wet food products from a lower to a higher processing stage.
• Transporting vegetables or fruits from a washing station to a dicing or peeling machine.
• Moving small, loose items like nuts, grains, or confectionery ingredients.
• Integrating into automated processing lines requiring vertical product transfer.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Throughput for this class of equipment commonly ranges from 500 kg/hr to 3,000 kg/hr, depending on product density and flight design.

Power supply

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

Construction material

As described, the frame is stainless steel, which is standard for food-grade applications to ensure hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Infeed height range

The listed infeed range of 300mm to 1900mm indicates significant flexibility for integration into various line configurations.

Conveyor belt material

Belts are typically food-grade PVC, PU, or modular plastic, selected for durability and ease of cleaning.

Water bath function

The integrated water bath at the infeed is commonly used for initial washing, rinsing, or gentle product transfer for buoyant items.
