Vertical Bucket Conveyors

Nerak is probably best known for the continuous interlinked bucket conveyor system - designed to carry product "all the way" between processes gently and without degradation. Moulded polyamide buckets are connected one to the other by silicone joining strips which creates a continuous "bucket belt". With the bucket belt connected between two of our unique "rubber chains" the drive system allows the bucket elevator to provide high throughputs without spillage.

These conveyors have been supplied to many sections of the food industry. We currently handle confectionery - wrapped, boiled, chocolate coated - frozen vegetables and meat, milk powders, ingredients, fatted biscuit crumb and snack foods. The same food quality characteristics of the system also satisfy the producers of salt, soap powders, ceramic constituents, pesticides, catalyst pellets and dried sewage sludge as no lubrication is required.

At the heart of every NERAK vertical conveyor drive system is the "rubber chain" providing outstanding features, with no links, is silent-running, wear-resistant and maintenance free, all excellent qualities further enhanced by its corrosion-free design.

NERAK vertical bucket conveyors are available in various designs in mild steel painted or stainless steel and feature :

• Totally enclosed robust construction with standard and special profiles to suit heavy duty vertical lifting applications.
• Open construction with safety panels in solid or mesh materials. These allow internal visibility and access for easy cleaning with steam or special fluids.
• Special designs for the food industry are available which are ideal for conveyors involved in packaging and weighing products.
