NNP Flighted elevator conveyor

• Transporting bulk food products upwards between processing stages.
• Feeding multihead weighers or packaging machinery with granular or small item products.
• Moving ingredients like cereals, nuts, or frozen vegetables within a production line.
• Elevating products from floor level hoppers to higher processing equipment.

Typical throughput

Throughput for this class of equipment typically ranges from 500 kg/hr to 3000 kg/hr, depending on product density and flight configuration.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, drawing between 0.75 kW and 2.2 kW.

Construction material

As indicated, this unit is stainless steel, which is standard for food processing applications to ensure hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Elevation range

Flighted elevators commonly offer a lift height from an infeed of around 200mm to a discharge height of up to 3000mm, with this unit falling within a common range.

Belt width

Belt widths for flighted elevators typically range from 200mm to 600mm, with 350mm being a common size for many applications.

Footprint

The footprint is dependent on the elevation angle and height, but for this class, it typically requires a floor space of 1.5m to 3m in length.

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

  Flighted elevators are best suited for dry, granular, or small, free-flowing products such as grains, nuts, sweets, frozen vegetables, or small components. They are less suitable for sticky or very fragile items.

• How important are the side guides?

• What maintenance is typically required for a used flighted elevator?

• Can the elevation angle be adjusted?

• What should I consider regarding the belt material?

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.
