Belt Elevators

Belt elevators

Belt elevators are equipped with an olives charge hopper, a deleafer, an oil-proof PVC belt with V-section (other section are available), a belt-cleaning wiper and a reduction gear. The maximum slope is 55 degree (55°). The elevators are built in stainless steel or in C40 steel and both long and short are available.

Common Elevator Specification

• Head Section: Manufactured from 3/5mm quality steel, stiffened and flanged for accurate assembly. The head section comes complete with a removable top profiled section for quick access to the 6mm thick rubber lagged pulley and shaft/bearing arrangement. The standard rubber lagged pulley assists the elevator for 'start up' under loaded conditions and contributes to good belt alignment.

• Boot Section: Manufactured from 3/5mm quality steel flanged and stiffened for rigid construction and alignment. The elevator boot comes complete with a fabricated crowned pulley and shaft assembly with ample access and inspection doors incorporated with the boot design which also features a self cleaning boot arrangement as a standard feature which minimizes product degredation and admix. The elevator belt is tensioned via a screw arrangement on either side of the boot with capacity being achieved no matter which level the boot pulley is positioned.

• Casing: Constructed from 2/3mm quality steel in 2.4 metre sections, flanged for true alignment and easy installation in a neatly designed single or split leg arrangement. Belt: 3/4 Ply E.P.Elevator Belting consisting of polyester/polyamide woven low stretch carcase, with 1mm/1mm styrene butadiene rubber covers as standard with nitrile (oil resistant) covers being optional. Food quality or heat resistant belts are also available.

• Buckets: Quality pressed steel buckets designed to give maximum throughput but still maintaining the perfect fill and discharge characteristics. Optional plastic or stainless steel buckets are available on application. Finish: Standard - Painted Blue Enamel: Optional - Galvanised steel or hot dip galvanised special paint finishes or corrosion resistant steels available on application. Drive: Shaft mounted direct drive fitted with a brake motor or a vee belt drive arrangement utilizing a shaft mounted gearbox complete with backstop. Type of drive depends on elevator size although both utilize IP55 weatherproof motor units.
