Elevating & Lowering

Alpine Conveyor

The FlexMove® Alpine Conveyor is a compact spiral configuration commonly used as an accumulation or buffer zone in between machines or as a process step for cooling or drying. It is also used for line balancing and for repair and maintenance purposes.

It can be configured as an elevator/lowerator with a single or double serpentine configuration and used as an in-line accumulator with entry and exit at different levels, or an in-line or off-line accumulator with entry and exit at the same level.

The Alpine conveyor maximizes vertical space and ensures the efficient utilization of machines with different speeds or a bottleneck machine and provides storage for pucks.

Wedge Conveyor

Powered by the FlexMove® Wedge Top Chain, our wedge conveyors are used to take products from production floor level to a higher level or vice versa. Products are wedged between opposing conveyors lined vertically or horizontally and are moved swiftly but securely.

Wedge Conveyors are easy to construct, lightweight and have compact footprints. Its rapid transfer rate makes it ideal for use in continuous, high capacity operations such as packaging lines. Built with aluminium and stainless steel, it meets the stringent hygiene standard required for medical and cosmetic packaging.

Wedge Conveyors can be configured differently for a variety of uses, such as a transition between different travel orientations, de-pucking operations, inverted rinse operations and even for creating a passage way on the production floor.

Wedge Conveyors are not suitable for wet products, heavy products or products that cannot withstand side pressure.

Packet Elevating/Lowerating Conveyor

A Packet Elevating/Lowerating Conveyor is a self contained unit that can be easily integrated with other FlexMove® conveyor systems. Friction keeps packets on the conveyor as they transported to another machine on a higher floor or vice versa.
