Keypack Intelligent Bowl-Type Feeding Machine - Auxiliary Conveyor for Premade/Pickled Foods & Nuts is an auxiliary conveyor equipment designed for continuous vertical lifting of granular and small lump materials. It delivers conveying capacity from 3 to 60 tons/hour with bowl-shaped hopper design providing complete discharge and minimal product breakage. Ideal for premade food feeding to packaging machines, frozen product feeding to processing lines, and nut feeding conveyor applications in food processing and chemical manufacturing facilities.
Product Overview
This bowl-type feeding machine is a continuous vertical lifting solution centered around a bowl-shaped hopper as its core component, specifically engineered for handling granular, small lump, and non-adhesive materials with lifting heights from 2 to 30 meters. The bowl-shaped hopper provides large capacity and complete discharge capability, minimizing material spillage and ensuring efficient material transfer from ground-level storage to elevated processing equipment. The system features high-efficiency vertical lifting with robust structure and compact footprint, making it suitable for installation in space-constrained food processing facilities, chemical plants, and pharmaceutical manufacturing environments.
The Keypack Intelligent (Kunbupack) pickled food feeding device delivers smooth conveying with low product breakage rates, particularly valuable for handling delicate materials such as frozen food portions, confectionery products, and prepared nuts where maintaining product integrity is critical for quality and presentation. The bowl opening diameter ranges from 150mm to 500mm across different models, accommodating various material sizes and flow characteristics. Operating speed is adjustable from 0.2 to 0.5m/s, providing low-speed stable operation to reduce material spillage and product damage during vertical transport.
This auxiliary feeding system features optional sealed enclosure for dust and contamination control, essential for food-grade applications requiring hygiene compliance and chemical processing environments where powder emissions must be contained. The sealed design prevents environmental contamination of conveyed materials and protects operators from exposure to dust or hazardous granules. Material options include carbon steel for general industrial applications, stainless steel for corrosion-resistant requirements in food and pharmaceutical processing, and wear-resistant rubber lining for collision-proof applications handling abrasive materials or products requiring gentle handling.

Key Features and Machine Characteristics
1. Bowl-Shaped Hopper Design for Complete Discharge and Minimal Spillage
The bowl-shaped hopper provides large capacity and complete discharge capability, minimizing material spillage and ensuring efficient material transfer throughout the vertical lifting process. The curved bowl geometry promotes smooth material flow and prevents material bridging or hang-ups common with flat-bottom hoppers, particularly valuable for handling granular materials with poor flowability or small lumps prone to interlocking. The bowl opening diameter ranges from 150mm to 500mm across different models, accommodating various material sizes from fine granules to larger lump materials, while the complete discharge design ensures minimal material residue between batches supporting multi-product facilities requiring frequent product changeovers and thorough cleaning.
2. High-Efficiency Vertical Lifting with Robust Structure
This auxiliary conveyor equipment features high-efficiency vertical lifting with robust structure capable of handling conveying capacities from 3 to 60 tons/hour across lifting heights from 2 to 30 meters. The robust construction ensures reliable operation in continuous industrial production environments, withstanding the mechanical stresses of vertical material transport and providing long service life with minimal maintenance requirements. The drive power ranges from 0.75kW for small-capacity low-height applications to 45kW for high-capacity tall installations, with power matched according to lifting height and conveying capacity to optimize energy efficiency and ensure adequate lifting force throughout the vertical travel distance.
3. Low-Speed Stable Operation for Reduced Product Breakage
Operating at adjustable speeds from 0.2 to 0.5m/s, this bowl-type feeding machine provides low-speed stable operation to reduce material spillage and minimize product breakage during vertical transport. The gentle handling is particularly valuable for delicate materials such as frozen food portions where maintaining product integrity is critical for presentation quality, confectionery products where breakage reduces product value, and nuts where whole nut appearance commands premium pricing. The low-speed operation also reduces mechanical wear on hopper components and drive systems, extending equipment service life and reducing maintenance costs compared to high-speed bucket elevators that subject materials and equipment to higher impact forces.
4. Compact Footprint for Space-Constrained Facilities
The compact footprint design enables installation in space-constrained food processing facilities, chemical plants, and pharmaceutical manufacturing environments where floor space is limited and valuable. The vertical lifting configuration maximizes material transport capacity while minimizing horizontal space requirements, making it ideal for retrofitting into existing production lines or installing in multi-story facilities where vertical material transport is required between processing levels. The compact design also simplifies facility layout planning and reduces building costs by minimizing the floor area dedicated to material handling equipment.
5. Optional Sealed Enclosure for Dust and Contamination Control
The optional sealed enclosure provides dust and contamination control essential for food-grade applications requiring hygiene compliance and chemical processing environments where powder emissions must be contained. The sealed design prevents environmental contamination of conveyed materials from airborne particles, moisture, or foreign materials, maintaining product quality throughout the vertical transport process. The enclosure also protects operators from exposure to dust or hazardous granules, supporting workplace safety regulations and preventing allergenic food ingredients or toxic chemical powders from entering the production environment. The simple maintenance design enables easy access for cleaning and inspection while maintaining sealed operation during production.
6. Multiple Material Construction Options for Application-Specific Requirements
Material construction options include carbon steel for general industrial applications offering cost-effective performance, stainless steel for corrosion-resistant requirements in food and pharmaceutical processing providing hygiene compliance and resistance to acidic or salty products, and wear-resistant rubber lining for collision-proof applications handling abrasive materials or products requiring gentle handling to prevent damage. The stainless steel option is essential for pickled food feeding applications where acidic brines cause rapid corrosion of carbon steel, pharmaceutical applications requiring GMP-compliant sanitary construction, and food processing environments where hygiene standards mandate non-corrosive materials. The wear-resistant rubber lining extends equipment service life in abrasive applications such as gravel conveying and provides cushioning for delicate products such as confectionery and frozen foods.
