High capacity vertical conveying for flour

For consistent, high-speed handling of delicate and powdery materials, this engineered vertical conveying system ensures precise elevation and discharge while maintaining product integrity and efficiency.

Elevates and Conveys Fine Powder Materials

The EF-Type Bucket Elevator from WAMGROUP is engineered for the vertical elevation of flour and similar fine, dry, non-abrasive materials within high-demand operations. This specialized equipment features a robust construction with hot dip galvanized materials, incorporating antistatic, oil-repellent, self-extinguishing belts and HDPE buckets for optimal efficiency. Designed for continuous operations in flour milling, rice processing, and food production facilities, it supports up to 1,200 m³/h throughput and reaches discharge heights of 44 meters. Its integration capabilities include direct gear motors, PLC controls, and rotation and belt misalignment sensors for enhanced automation. ATEX II 3D T4 compliance ensures safe operations in explosion-prone environments. Maintenance is streamlined through easy-access hatches for routine inspections, and material options, including stainless steel construction, are available to meet specific process requirements.

Benefits
