Belt elevators
Belt elevators are used for handling light bulk products which generally must be brought to a certain height and then transferred to the next conveyor, in a silo or in a machine loading hopper. All this happens thanks to the use of laths that are vulcanized (to a belt with a polyester base and a plastic coating) or mounted (to a modular chain) at a constant pitch depending on the length of the product. This type of handling is used during manual loading by an operator or automated in output from a machine. The shape of the products can be dusty, pasty or granular and the maximum recommended inclination is around 60 °, however it is always evaluated according to the dimensions of the product itself.
Some examples:
Belt elevator in green pvc with vulcanized laths with constant pitch, load section with hopper and lower protections, side guides in sheet steel with white polyurethane plates, motorization with discharge protection, support legs with adjustable sleeves. System for transporting fine wood chips.
Belt elevator in white pvc with vulcanized L-laths, horizontal section with loading hopper, inclined section with adjustable guides, head for unloading with a protection. Structure in semi-finished profiles in painted carbon steel and parts in contact with the product in AISI-304, supports on adjustable wheeled base. System for soap handling in recycling plant.
Belt elevator in white pvc with square laths with constant pitch vulcanized to assembly due to the presence of one-piece metal-detector, structures in stainless steel bent sheet metal, stretch metal detector with marine wood sliding surface and polycarbonate guides, safety system with limit switch and pull rope.
