Inclined Single-Bucket Elevator - Auxiliary Conveyor

Keypack Intelligent Inclined Single-Bucket Elevator designed for auxiliary conveying of granular and lump materials on inclined paths. It delivers conveying capacity from 10 to 60 m³/h with lifting heights up to 100 meters and speeds ranging 0.3-1.9 m/s, featuring food-grade 304 stainless steel construction and customizable bucket capacity. Ideal for premade food feeding, nut processing, frozen product elevation, pickled vegetable conveying, and confectionery handling.

Product Overview

This inclined single-bucket elevator is a specialized conveying system engineered for handling granular and lump materials along inclined trajectories from lower to higher elevations. The system primarily consists of a robust frame structure, material bucket, upper track assembly, lower track assembly, and chain drive mechanism. The bucket moves smoothly along the tracks via traveling wheels, with upper wheels secured to the upper track and lower wheels fixed to the lower track, ensuring stable and reliable material transport.

Material is conveyed along the incline through precision chain-driven operation, providing consistent and controlled elevation of products. This anti-spill material lifter design minimizes product loss and maintains material integrity during transport. The Keypack Intelligent (kunbupack) elevator system can be seamlessly integrated with packaging machines for automated feeding operations or operated as a standalone auxiliary conveyor equipment for flexible production line configurations.

Technical Specifications

Key Features and Machine Characteristics

• Inclined Path Conveying: Engineered specifically for transporting granular and lump materials along inclined trajectories, efficiently moving products from lower elevations to higher processing or packaging stations. The inclined design optimizes floor space utilization while maintaining gentle product handling throughout the elevation process.
• Adjustable Conveying Capacity: Handles material flow rates from 10 to 60 m³/h with variable speed control (0.3-1.9 m/s), allowing operators to match conveying speed to production line requirements. This flexibility supports both high-throughput operations and delicate product handling applications requiring slower, gentler transport.
• Extended Lifting Height: Achieves lifting heights from 28 to 100 meters, making this nut bucket elevator suitable for multi-story facilities, elevated storage systems, and production lines requiring significant vertical material transport. The extended height capability eliminates the need for multiple conveying stages.
• Food-Grade 304 Stainless Steel Construction: Built entirely with food-grade 304 stainless steel materials that meet hygiene standards for direct food contact. This premade food lifting machine resists corrosion, prevents contamination, and enables easy cleaning and sanitation, making it ideal for food processing, nut handling, and frozen product applications.
• Anti-Spill Bucket Design: Features customizable bucket capacity with anti-spill design that securely contains materials during inclined transport. The bucket configuration prevents product loss, maintains material integrity, and ensures consistent delivery quantities, particularly important for valuable products like nuts, confectionery, and premade foods.
• Dual-Track Stability System: Utilizes upper and lower track assemblies with traveling wheels to ensure smooth, stable bucket movement along the inclined path. This dual-track configuration eliminates swaying, reduces vibration, and maintains precise material positioning throughout the conveying cycle.
• Flexible Integration Capability: Can be integrated with packaging machines for automated premade food feeding or operated as standalone auxiliary conveyor equipment. This versatility supports diverse production line configurations, from fully automated systems to manual operations requiring auxiliary material elevation.
• Customizable Bucket Capacity: Bucket size and capacity are customizable to match specific material characteristics and throughput requirements. Custom bucket configurations optimize handling for different product types, from fine granular materials to larger lump products, ensuring efficient transport without product damage.
