Are you worried about how to efficiently convey materials to the hopper of the packaging machine? If you’re looking for an efficient and reliable material conveying solution, then understanding the characteristics and application scenarios of Z-type elevators, S-type large-angle conveyors, screw elevators, and vacuum feeders will help you choose the most suitable solution.
What is a Material Handling System?
A material handling system is a system designed to convey packaged materials from the ground to the hopper of a packaging machine. It is widely used in industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals. Based on the properties of the materials, the system can be categorized into three main types: granular materials, powder materials, and liquid/paste materials.
Granule Material Handling System
1. Z-Type Elevator
Application Scenario: Block-shaped granular materials, materials with fragments
The Z-type elevator is a classic piece of equipment for conveying granular materials. Its unique Z-shaped design ensures that materials are not excessively impacted during the conveying process, maintaining their integrity.
2. S-Type Large-Angle Conveyor
Application Scenario: Intact granular materials, materials with moisture
The large-angle conveyor is another suitable device for granular materials, especially for those with moisture. Its baffle design allows moisture to flow through the gaps, ensuring the material remains dry during conveying.
3. Single-Bucket Elevator
Application Scenario: Small granular materials, scenarios with smaller conveying volumes
The single-bucket elevator is known for its low cost and simple structure, making it an ideal choice for conveying small granular materials. While its conveying capacity is limited, it performs exceptionally well
4. Bucket Elevator
Application Scenario: Industrial materials, salt, sand, chemical materials
The bucket elevator is a high-capacity conveying device widely used for industrial materials such as salt, sand, and chemical materials.
5. Cup Feeder
Application Scenario: Products that cannot be dosed automatically, requiring manual filling by workers
The Cup Feeder is a specialized device designed for products that cannot be automatically dosed or handled by standard material handling systems. In such cases, workers manually fill the cups with the required amount of material.
Powder Material Handling System
6. Screw Elevator
Application Scenario: Powder materials, small granular materials
The screw elevator’s spiral structure allows it to efficiently convey powder materials from the ground to the hopper.
7. Vacuum Feeder
Application Scenario: Pharmaceutical, food, and chemical industries; closed conveying of powder materials
The vacuum feeder is a high-end device for conveying powder materials. It operates in a closed environment, ensuring the cleanliness of the materials.
