New Elevating Conveyor/Prefeeder Design Satisfies Wide Range of Bulk Conveying Applications
NEW BEDFORD, Mass. - June 4, 2008 - SouthCoast Control Engineering, Inc. (scceinc.com), a design and manufacturing firm based in New Bedford, Mass., introduced a new elevating conveyor/prefeeder for bulk conveying in 2008. It can be manufactured in a variety of heights and with a variety of belting and bin sizes to suit diverse applications.
"Our design is applicable to a range of industries, including packaging, processing, manufacturing, food, and agricultural," says SCCE Vice President Joe Bristol.
Its construction involves a standard stainless steel bin with a painted mild steel or stainless steel frame and standard adjustable leveling pads. Bins range from 3 to 12 cubic ft. and can also be designed to accommodate special needs. For larger capacity bins, SCCE offers a live floor integrated with the vertical conveyor.
FDA-approved belting is standard and tailored wash-down electrical components are available as an option for applications that require wash down and sterilization.
Cleat spacing and height (standard is 12 inches between 1.5-inch cleats) can be customized. Belting is either endless or connected via stainless steel Alligator® Lacing. Take-up bearings on the conveyor's driven end adjust belt tracking.
A 1/3rd HP, 230 V A/C gear motor drive complete with coupling guards and over-torque protection is standard; wash-down, TEFC, and explosion-proof motors are common upgrades. The standard start/stop switch can be upgraded to a variable speed AC controller, or integrated into an existing or new system for automatic control.
Escapement chutes and automatic product level controls are two of the many options available to accommodate application needs.
