 What is a Vertical Gripper Conveyor?

A Gripper Elevator is an innovative vertical conveying system that gently grips products (like bottles, metal cans, and jars) from their sides and lifts or lowers them. It relies on two parallel chains equipped with a series of flexible rubber grippers that press onto the product with sufficient force to stabilize and transfer it vertically, making it the most space-saving solution for vertical transfer applications.


Key Features of the Gripper Conveyor

  • Minimal Footprint: Due to its ability to transfer in a straight vertical path (C or S shape), it occupies minimal floor space, making it ideal for crowded factories and complex production lines.
  • Smooth and Gentle Product Handling: Soft rubber grippers safely hold the product without causing scratches to labels or damage to sensitive containers, ensuring the product arrives intact.
  • High Speed and Throughput: Can operate at high speeds to match the capacity of modern filling and capping machines, ensuring a continuous and fast product flow without stopping.
  • Flexible Transfer Path: Can be designed in a "C" shape to lift the product from one level to another, or in an "S" shape to create an overhead path allowing personnel or equipment to pass underneath the production line.
  • Easy Adjustment for Different Product Sizes: The distance between the two chains can be easily adjusted
  • using a hand-wheel, allowing a single conveyor to handle a variety of products with different diameters.
  • Ideal for Wet Applications: Manufactured from Stainless Steel and waterproof components, making it suitable for operation in wet environments (such as after bottle washing machines) and easy to clean.

This conveyor belt is a key component in production lines:

  • 🍾Beverages and bottled water: To lift empty bottles to rinsing machines or lower full ones to packaging lines.
  • 🥫Canning industry (food and soft drinks): For handling metal cans at extremely high speeds between production stages.
  • 💊Pharmaceutical industries: For transporting small containers and jars in a clean environment.
  • 🧼Chemicals and detergents industry: For handling plastic containers of different shapes.
  • 🔄Creating overpasses: to run the production line over pedestrian walkways or forklift tracks.

To provide a comprehensive engineering solution, we offer the following options:
 
Choosing the type of handle: Determine the shape and flexibility of the rubber material of the handle to perfectly match the weight, shape, and sensitivity of your product.
Entry and exit design: Ensuring a smooth transfer of the product to and from the horizontal conveyors through a special guide design and speed synchronization.
Product Inverter Function: The track is designed to flip the product upside down (180 degrees) for drying processes or printing the production date on the base.
Washdown design: Use of motors, bearings and components that are fully waterproof to meet the requirements of clean production rooms.
Safety and security systems: Adding a transparent polycarbonate protective cover to protect workers while allowing visibility of the product during operation.

Coordination between the operations and maintenance teams was excellent. Spare parts availability is solid, and the preventive maintenance plan they proposed significantly reduced unplanned downtime.
