Continuous Vertical Conveyor
NERAK Continuous Vertical Conveyors are the solution to elevate or lower containers, boxes, trays, packages, bags, luggage, Pallets and other articles from one level to another in a continuous high speed and high capacity operation. NERAK conveyors run in Postal Sorting Facilities for trays and totes, Airports and Seaports for luggage handling, in Industrial Distribution Warehouses and Production Facilities.
NERAK Vertical Lifts are the solution if you need to change floors, pass over a drive way or elevate to your conveyors on a mezzanine floor or below the ceiling.
Automatically loading Carrying Platforms transport the items continuously horizontal-vertical-horizontal without stopping the Conveyor.
Continuous Vertical Conveyors (CVC) are also known in the Industry as S-Shaped Conveyors, Box Lifters and Vertical Lift Units.
NERAK Continuous Vertical Conveyors are available as Z-Type models which can convey up to 50 items per min. or as C-Type models which can convey up to 25 items per min. The actual possible capacity depends on the size of the item conveyed. Item loads can range from under 1lb to over 5000lbs!
The conveyors can be used for upward direction, downward direction and combined upward and downward direction. The Vertical Lifts can be as high as 100 feet.
The small footprint compared to incline conveyors or spiral type conveyors save valuable floor space.
NERAK Vertical Lifts are available in many sizes to match your product dimensions and minimize the space needed for the conveyor. Every Vertical Conveyor is designed to match your needs. Made from standardized sections we will match your on site requirements for each conveyor.
Platforms come in many different styles. We have the right platform for your product. From simple Polyester Rod style platforms, mesh style platforms to flat bar platforms. Special platforms for round shapes like rolls of insulation or platforms for luggage transport are also available. All platforms ensure a smooth, stable and gentle transport of items. The platforms are attached on each corner to Rubber Chains. The platforms flex in one direction only to be able to bring the platform back in a space saving way and on the other hand to make a stiff flat surface to carry the product.
NERAK Rubber Chains with enclosed high-tensile steel cable are the driving and transporting members without wear points requiring lubrication or maintenance. Operation is silent and clean. Different Rubber compounds are available to provide the right chain for your conveying environment. Click here for more information on NERAK Rubber Chains.
NERAK Vertical Conveyors have lower Power requirements, and less needs for servicing and maintenance compared to conventional conveying systems.
Feeding the conveyed material onto the platform is by a feed conveyor located in front of the Continuous Vertical Conveyors. Belt, Roller or Chain Conveyors are usually selected as feed conveyors. They start and stop automatically to load the platforms on the Vertical Lift. Feed Conveyors can be supplied by NERAK or the Customer.
Discharging the NERAK Continuous Vertical Conveyor is very simple. The platform transfers without stopping onto any running conveyor for continued transport.
Casings are available as Extruded Aluminum Profiles Frames, Welded and Painted Tubular Carbon Steel Frames, Welded Tubular Stainless Steel Frames and Welded Tubular Stainless Steel Frames for Food Applications for easy cleaning. Carbon Steel casings can be powder coated, or being painted with an Enamel or Epoxy Paint. Stainless Steel casings can be provided in different qualities, such as 403 and 316 and in a surface quality of your choice.
The cladding can be made of perforated Aluminum Sheets, Steel Sheets or Clear Plastic Sheets. They protect your conveyor, your product and ensure a safe work environment. Aluminum Sheets or Clear Plastic Sheets are perfect to monitor your conveyor at all time.
All NERAK Continuous Vertical Conveyors are equipped with generously dimensioned servicing and monitoring openings and removable covers for servicing access.
Special designs for Preexisting Building Lift Shafts are available as well.
