UPM elevator conveyor

• Transferring products between different heights in a production line.
• Feeding packaging machinery or filling stations.
• Moving items over short distances in a confined space.
• Integrating into existing processing lines for elevation changes.

Construction Material

Units of this type commonly feature stainless steel construction, suitable for hygiene-critical environments.

Belt Type

Intralox belts are typically modular plastic, known for durability and ease of cleaning, often used in food and pharmaceutical applications.

Speed Control

Variable speed functionality is common, allowing for integration with different production rates.

Elevation Range

For this class of equipment, an elevation range from approximately 400mm to 900mm is typical, accommodating various line heights.

Mobility

A mobile frame is a common feature, providing flexibility for repositioning within a facility.

Power Supply

Typically, these units operate on standard industrial single-phase or three-phase power, commonly 230V or 400V in the UK.
