Z type vertical elevator
Z type vertical elevator carries bulk materials through a continuous hopper to achieve complete vertical lift in a 90° direction.
Hopper capacity: 1L, 1.8L, 3.8L and 6.5L
Horizontal length: 1.2m-40m
Vertical height: 1-12m
Product introduction of Z type vertical elevator
Z type vertical elevator has a more stable and powerful vertical lifting capacity - compared with vertical screw conveyors and inclined belt conveyors.
When the Z type vertical elevator is transporting materials, the hopper carries the materials stably, and the materials are in a relatively static state during the entire lifting process, so the materials will not scatter or slip. At the same time, the hopper of the Z type vertical elevator is connected with a chain as a traction device for lifting, so the hopper runs smoothly and receives stronger traction force, which can vertically lift the material to a higher height.

Application and demonstration of Z type vertical elevator
Z type vertical elevator is mostly used in the food processing industry. It vertically lifts food raw materials or food products. The inlet and outlet can be designed with multiple points, and can receive feed from multiple feeding equipment at the same time. The upper outlet can be arranged according to the actual layout. The number of equipment that needs high-altitude feeding is designed with 1-7 outlets, automatic continuous feeding, and production automation.
The vertical design of the Z type vertical elevator saves space and shortens material conveying time to the greatest extent during use. It is usually used with vibrating feeders, packaging machines, combination scales and other equipment to complete the vertical lifting work of 2-12m.
Z type vertical elevator structure and traction selection
The important structure of Z type vertical elevator includes hopper, traction system, power system, reducer, hydraulic system and electrical control system. In addition to complex electrical, hydraulic and power systems, the traction equipment of Z type vertical elevator can be selected according to the actual needs of users.
There are two types of hopper traction devices for Z type vertical elevators: belt traction and (plate) chain traction.
Belt traction is suitable for small vertical lifting height, small weight of materials to be lifted, no high temperature and no corrosion of materials, and it is characterized by stable operation, low noise and low configuration cost.
The chain traction device is suitable for conveying large vertical lifting heights, heavy lifting materials, and special properties of materials. The advantages of chain traction are stronger pressure bearing capacity and high temperature resistance, but compared with belt traction, the price is higher.
