ISCA - Stainless Steel Goods Elevator

• Elevating bulk ingredients such as grains, powders, or granules within food processing lines.
• Lifting packaged goods, bins, drums, or pallets between different levels in a food or pharmaceutical facility.
• Transferring raw materials from ground level to mezzanines or hoppers for further processing.
• Integrating into automated production lines for vertical product movement.
• Handling waste products or by-products for disposal or recycling within hygienic environments.

Typical lifting capacity

For this class of equipment, lifting capacities commonly range from 50 kg to several tonnes, depending on the specific design and application.

Typical lift height

Units of this type can be engineered for virtually any required lift height, from a few metres to multi-floor installations.

Power supply

Commonly, these elevators operate on a 3-phase industrial electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz in the UK.

Construction material

Units designed for food and pharmaceutical industries are typically constructed from 304 or 316 grade stainless steel for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Drive mechanism

Chain drive systems are commonly employed for their robustness and reliability in industrial lifting applications.

Footprint

The footprint varies significantly based on capacity and lift height, but designs are often optimised for vertical space efficiency.

Safety features

Units commonly include fully enclosed safety guarding, emergency stop buttons, and interlocks to comply with machinery safety directives.

• What types of items can this elevator handle?

  Stainless steel goods elevators are versatile and can handle a wide range of items, including pallets, bins, drums, crates, and various bulk materials, depending on the specific carriage design.

• Is customisation available for specific facility requirements?

• What are the typical maintenance requirements?

• What safety standards do these elevators comply with?

• Can this equipment be integrated into an automated production line?

Lifting and tipping equipment for food handling is valued for durability and reliability in demanding environments. Buyers typically prioritize robust construction, stainless steel components where applicable, and compliance with food safety standards. When purchasing used models, inspectors should assess mechanical wear, hydraulic system condition, and operational smoothness. Common strengths include longevity when properly maintained, efficient load handling, and adaptability to various food processing workflows. Equipment reputation generally remains strong provided previous maintenance records are documented and critical seals show minimal degradation.
