Breitner Flighted elevator conveyor

• Elevating bulk food products from floor level to processing machinery.
• Feeding packaging lines with ingredients or finished goods.
• Transferring granular or small-particulate food items between different stages of a production line.
• Loading hoppers or storage bins with confectionery, snacks, or dry ingredients.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, hopper capacities commonly range from 50kg to 250kg, depending on the specific model and product density.

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz in the UK.

Construction material

Food-grade elevator conveyors are almost exclusively constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and durability.

Elevation range

Commonly, these conveyors offer elevation ranges from a low feed height of around 300mm to discharge heights between 1500mm and 2500mm.

Belt width

Belt widths for flighted elevators typically vary from 100mm to 300mm, influencing throughput and product size handling.

Footprint

Overall length for this type of elevator conveyor commonly ranges from 1.5m to 3m, depending on the required elevation and incline angle.

• What types of products are suitable for a flighted elevator conveyor?

  Flighted elevator conveyors are ideal for handling a wide range of free-flowing, granular, or small-piece food products such as nuts, seeds, confectionery, cereals, and frozen vegetables. The flights prevent product rollback on inclines.

• How do I determine the correct elevation height needed?

• What maintenance is typically required for these conveyors?

• Can this conveyor handle wet or sticky products?

• What safety features should I look for?

Buyers typically value conveyor systems for their reliability and longevity when well-maintained. Key considerations when purchasing used units include belt condition, motor functionality, frame integrity, and available spare parts. Industry sentiment emphasises the importance of verifying operational history and cleanliness standards, particularly for food handling applications. Common strengths include robust construction, relatively straightforward maintenance requirements, and cost savings versus new equipment. Reputable manufacturers' models tend to hold their value well and integrate readily into existing production lines.
