Plate Elevators

PLATE ELEVATORS

TUMAC plate elevators are ideal for feeding heavy and fragile parts when it is essential to preserve their aesthetic surface.

This system stands out for being flexible, quiet and robust, while ensuring gentle part handling.

Part orientation can be performed using linear vibrators positioned at the elevator outlet, or alternatively on a conveyor belt with the support of vision sensors to detect part orientation. Non-oriented parts are recirculated back into the hopper via a static recirculation loop or a conveyor return. The system can feed both conveyors and linear vibrators, integrating dedicated devices for part handling and orientation.

Originally developed for the cosmetics sector, the TUMAC plate elevator is now also successfully used in the metalworking industry to automate complex handling processes.

TUMAC elevator features

TUMAC elevators are designed to convey and lift bulk parts to the required height. They feature large-capacity hoppers and stand out for their ability to store large quantities of parts, ensuring high loading autonomy. Driven by gear motors and belts, they can be installed at variable inclinations depending on customer needs. TUMAC elevators are engineered for heavy-duty use and continuous operation.

TUMAC elevators are used to lift and position parts across a wide range of industries and applications. They consist of a hopper and a conveying element. In addition to feeding circular vibratory orientators, they can be paired with linear vibratory units for part selection and orientation.

Our elevator range provides a complete and effective answer to challenges related to handling and feeding.
