WeighPack introduces its Z Bucket Conveyor, which is tailored for flexibility.

May 8th, 2007
Pw 8589 E Weigh Pack

Conveyor uses a series of buckets to carry product from floor level to the top of any type of filler or packaging machine. Flexible bucket sizes from up to 2.3 L and an elevating high range from 10’ to 19’ makes this conveyor suitable for a variety of food and non-food applications. Smooth plastic, interlocking, non-toxic buckets are designed to prevent spillage and contamination of product. Wash-through chains improve cleanliness and increase production rates. Conveyor integrates with any type of packaging machine to create a fully automated packaging line. Features include stainless-steel construction, elevating speeds to 4’/sec, and easy-to-use controls.
