Fruit handling

Inclined Fruit Elevator

A flighted inclined belt transfers suitable fruit from a lower receiving or washing point to a higher process inlet.

Inclined fruit-transfer assembly with transverse flights, upper drive, side guarding and access platform.

Lift to the preparation inlet

Construction & selection

Conveyor form: Inclined belt with transverse flights
Visible arrangement: Upper drive, mesh side guards and raised access
Layout variables: Lower loading level and upper discharge position

Request this machine

The required rise, belt contact, loading depth and discharge geometry are layout choices. A line whose machines already meet at compatible levels may not need this elevator.

At the inlet

Whole fruit at the lower loading point, with size, wet condition and handling sensitivity considered.

At the outlet

Fruit discharged at the upper receiving connection; carried water and loose material need their own collection path.

How the machine works

Flights support the fruit along the incline. The upper drive moves the belt around the discharge, where the receiving chute controls the final drop. Matching the two machine levels avoids an improvised transfer at installation.

Connect the surrounding equipment

Coordinate the lower feed with the preceding washer or inspection point and prevent accumulation at the upper hopper. Keep fruit spillage, wash-water carry-over and the belt return accessible without entering the guarded moving parts.

Maintenance & cleaning access

After drive isolation, clear retained fruit beneath the return and inspect belt tracking, tension and flight condition. Clean the exposed carrying surfaces and frame. Platform and adjustment access must remain open after adjacent equipment is installed.
