Panned & Coated Sweets
Challenge: Airborne particles of sugar/powder adhere, build up and solidify on lubricated chains, degrading the flexibility and movement the chains require.
Solution:

TipTrak™ bucket elevators use our proprietary rubber chain. No moving parts. No lubrication. No sugar-dust build-up. And no loss in chain performance.

PEC TipTrak™ bucket elevators work comfortably in this environment, with very little maintenance, for many of the best-known names the confectionery industry.

Sticky Products
Challenge: Ensure empty buckets for bucket-hugging gummy bears, jellybean centres, coconut, chewing gum resin, jujubes, fruit snacks.
Solution:

TipTrak™ with bucket knockers to rap the back of the bucket at the discharge point. (Not recommended for pivoting buckets attached to their metal chains with pins. A bucket-emptying knock would pop them out of their chains.)

TipTrak buckets interlock—and are attached securely on each side to the rubber “chain”. A sharp rap simply empties them.

Our customers handling sticky confectionery products typically use the PEC TipTrak™ bucket conveyor.
Challenge: Solidified sugar/flour build-up on lubricated metal chains degrades the flexibility the chains require.
Solution:

TipTrak™ bucket elevators use our proprietary rubber chain. No moving parts. No lubrication. No sugar build-up. And no loss in productivity.

Open Mesh TipTrak or PEC TipTrak elevators work comfortably in this environment, with very little maintenance, for many of the best-known names in candy and confectionery.
