How It Works (The Basics)

The package enters the machine on a table top or mat top conveyor. The dual flights increment vertically to lift the package off of the infeed conveyor and elevate it to the discharge elevation. The package can be pushed off the flights to form a “C” or a “Z” configuration. The machine can be equipped with a bi-directional flight sweep to discharge packages in either direction.

The lifting and lowering is accomplished with flights that are spaced vertically to accommodate both the shortest and the tallest packages. The flights are spaced horizontally and are the proper width to accommodate both the widest and the narrowest packages. If the geometry of the package mix requires adjustability, the horizontal gap between the flights can be changed with the addition of an optional hand rotated lead screw. The flights can also be easily relocated on the carrying chain to accommodate taller packages.

Benefits

The vertical case lift can elevate your product to the height of your ceiling supported conveyors without occupying the floor space of a typical incline conveyor. The vertical case lift can also convey a wide variety of product size and weight up to 50lbs per case. The stainless version can be applied in wash down environments.
