Solving the challenges of fully cleaning and emptying the conveyor
Challenge: Cleaning equipment after handling frozen, moist or wet products.
Solution:

Easy-clean Open Mesh TipTrak™ bucket elevator. Just hose it clean with pressurised water… or opt for a TipTrak™ with a clean-in-place jet nozzle system (CIP). Either way, since the rubberised chain needs no lubrication, you achieve quick, easy, equipment-safe cleaning.

For these (and all) fruit and vegetable applications, our customers typically choose an Open Mesh TipTrak™ bucket elevator, with expanded metal covers.
Challenge: Emptying the buckets
Solution:

TipTrak™ bucket knockers 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.
