Used - Used Galvanised Tong Elevator

Applications & Use Cases

• Used for elevating items in food processing lines, often for products like jars, cans, or bottles.
• Commonly found in packaging operations to lift products between different levels of machinery.
• Utilised in material handling systems for vertical transport of goods in manufacturing and logistics.
• Applicable in agricultural settings for moving produce or packaged goods within a processing facility.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Throughput for this class of equipment typically ranges from 500 to 2000 units per hour, depending on product size and elevator design.

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type to operate on a 400V, 3-phase, 50Hz electrical supply, with lower power requirements for smaller models.

Construction material

As a 'Galvanised' unit, the primary construction material is typically galvanised steel, offering good corrosion resistance for general industrial use.

Typical footprint

The footprint can vary significantly, but for this class of equipment, it typically requires a vertical clearance of 2-5 metres and a base area of 1-2 square metres.

Suitable feed sizes

Tong elevators are typically designed for discrete items, with the maximum and minimum product dimensions dictated by the specific tong and chain configuration.

Maintenance requirements

Maintenance typically involves regular inspection of chains, sprockets, and bearings, along with lubrication as per manufacturer guidelines.
