Nerak are pleased to announce the launch of their latest range of bucket and tote / box elevators...Lite.

As the name suggests they are ideal for customers whose applications may be less demanding in terms of lift height and through-put requirements. The tote elevator, designed to carry unit loads up or down one floor level, comes as a complete one piece plug and go system requiring minimal installation and commissioning.The goal in the design of the new Lite bucket elevator was to provide an ideal solution for processors of products like snack foods,sweets,etc. Easily removable buckets, and zero lubrication / food standard rubber chain drive belts means this elevator is very easily cleaned and requires the minimum of maintenance.

Details of the new range will be available at the PPMA show at the Birmingham NEC from the 30th Sept to the 2nd Oct. Be sure to come along and see us on stand G60.

WHEN YOUR BACK'S TO THE WALL - GET A 'C-SHAPE'!

Most vertical bucket conveyors receive product at floor level On one side and discharge at high level from the opposite side - towards the process line. However, there are occasions when 'the other side' is blocked for lack of space - or a brick wall.

Nerak-Wiese make a wide range of 'Z-shape' (in-line) bucket conveyors hut also reversible 'C-shape' units. These provide a 'back-over-the-top' system see photo attached - showing the skeletal structure prior to cladding. Our Polyamid (nylon) continuous bucket-belts eliminate leakage between buckets, each being connected by flexible diaphragms. Discharged product can be collected safely by whatever is used to transfer material back over the infeed. At the high level platforms support the feeders or convevors reversing the flow.

This open 'food quality' vertical conveyor displays stainless steel RHS construction awaiting enclosure before despatch. Nerak rubber block chains, steel-cored and vulcanised endless, run on smooth wheels at all bends - except the 'rollered' drive wheels, which engage rubber teeth in the underside of the chain. With less friction on smooth wheels only small motors are needed - and no lubrication is required for rubber chains which anyway run very, very quietly indeed
