The Gripper Elevator has the advantage of securely elevating or lowering product using very little floor space. Nominal floor space of 2'- 4" x 9' is required.
Side grippers firmly but gently grasp the products traveling in line with continuous transport through the elevation change and a seamless discharge onto the takeaway conveyor.
Nercon has engineered and manufactured a number of Gripper Elevators over the years. Nercon's Gripper Elevator can be seen in the food, beverage, packaging, household, paper and light industrial markets.
The products transported on Nercon's Gripper Elevator have ranged from glass, cans, plastic containers, to pouches and bundles of tissue.
Standard speeds of up to 150 feet per minute can be expected on Nercon's Gripper Elevators, with faster speeds available using optional turn discs.
The Gripper Elevator adjusts from 0" - 8" with the turn of a single handwheel. Optional widths are also available.
The minimum infeed elevation is 18".
