The Multi-Discharge Z & C Elevator is a modular bucket conveyor system designed to transport highly fragile, delicate bulk products—such as nuts, pulses, seeds and coffee—without breakage or spillage along both horizontal and vertical axes; it is capable of automatically discharging to multiple different points or different floors within a facility.
Operating Principle: The chain-driven bucket mechanism, operating within a fully bolted and enclosed housing, works in synchronisation with mechanically or pneumatically controlled discharge stations:
Leak-Proof Combined Filling: At the product intake point, the buckets merge using a special design where they overlap one another. This ensures that no product escapes through the gaps during filling, resulting in a leak-free, clean loading process.
Multi-Point Precision Discharge: Buckets transported safely along horizontal and vertical lines tip over under their own weight or mechanically, with the aid of activators at the designated discharge points, once they reach the points determined by the process scenario. Products can thus be distributed to multiple machines or storage areas via a single line.
Modular Design and Flexible Capacity: Thanks to a fully modular, bolted assembly design, the dimensions of the elevator can be adjusted to meet the business’s future needs, or the buckets can be easily replaced. Bucket options of various volumes are available to suit variable capacities.
