JayCraft Food Machinery - New Surge Tank Elevators

• Integrating with vegetable washing and grading lines to manage product flow.
• Reducing bottlenecks between different stages of food processing.
• Ensuring a consistent and steady supply of product to downstream equipment.
• Gently elevating root vegetables and similar produce within a processing line.

Typical throughput

Throughput capacity for this class of equipment commonly ranges from 1 to 10 tonnes per hour, depending on product density and elevator design.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 400V, 3-phase, 50Hz electrical supply, with motor power commonly between 0.75kW and 2.2kW.

Construction materials

Heavy-duty, food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) is standard for all product contact parts and framework, ensuring suitability for washdown environments.

Elevation height

Typical elevation heights for surge tank elevators are designed to integrate with standard processing lines, commonly ranging from 1.5 to 3 metres.

Footprint

The footprint for this type of equipment can vary, but typically requires a floor area of approximately 2m x 1.5m to 3m x 2m, plus access space.

Maintenance requirements

Maintenance typically involves routine inspection of belts/flights, motor, and bearings, with lubrication as per manufacturer guidelines.

• What types of products can this elevator handle?

  This type of surge tank elevator is designed to handle various root vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, and onions, as well as other similar bulk food products, ensuring gentle handling.

• Can this unit be integrated into an existing processing line?

• Is this equipment suitable for washdown environments?

• How does a surge tank elevator improve line efficiency?

• What is the typical lead time for a newly manufactured unit?

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.
