Layer elevator
Shelf lifts with discontinuous movement, suitable for applications with extremely limited available space at low speeds.
Technical features:
- Discontinuous operation.
- Customised structures in anodised aluminium or AISI 304.
- Maximum cadence 25-30 pieces/min.
- Small footprint.
Shelf lifts are particularly effective for the vertical handling of products such as crates, boxes or bundles in confined spaces. They are more mechanically complex than spiral or continuous-flow counter-chain systems, so they remain a viable option only when the others have already shown that they do not fit into the layout.
They require guards, at least at the bottom, and a dedicated loading and unloading system. Step conveyors are suitable for production rates limited to a few dozen strokes per minute.
