New Multi-Conveyor System Z-Shaped Belt for Snack Foods Inclines to Seven-Foot Height

Multi-Conveyor recently built a mild steel, bolted construction Z-shaped incline belt conveyor for the transportation of snack crackers.

Pre-baked goods start at a 26-inch (in.) top-of-belt elevation at infeed, and stainless steel guides then funnel the bulk product as it enters the vertical incline. Next, the food elevates on hygienic, food-grade Volta SuperDrive 12.5 in. effective-width blue polyurethane fabric belting to an 82 in.—or nearly seven-foot (ft.)—elevation, at a rate of 10 pounds (lbs.) per minute.

The three-inch-tall scoop flight belting with corrugated sidewalls helps control loose product in flight. A simple-but-effective, angled stainless steel chute provides additional guidance at the incline discharge.

For safety, the system includes bearings with set screws and bearing covers, finger guards, shaft out-out guards, and a 3/8 in. polycarbonate hinged access door with easy-access magnetic latch closure.
