The Agricultural Industry on Simatek's Products

A great number of plants for maize and sunflower processing are in need of Simatek's universal elevators. These types of plants utilize the Simatek universal elevators because of their extreme operating reliability and their unique safety rendered by a control unit, preventing overload of the machine because of mal-operation.

Simatek's universal elevators constitute a flexible and space-saving conveying system, designed for horizontal and vertical bulk moving operations. Based on a unique design of modular sections, it provides for an extremely flexible system with as many inlets and outlets as required. Providing the user with square or open rectangular inlets, as well as vibrating feeders and batch inlets feeding of the product into the elevator in specific portions. As a standard the elevators are supplied with one end outlet and may have a number of electric pneumatic intermediate outlets. At the outlet the buckets have a wide emptying angle ensuring that the buckets are entirely emptied. The elevators are available in mild or stainless steel, or a combination thereof as required.

The system provides an absolutely gentle conveying method, based on a strong hollow pin chain with nylon rollers running in highly accurate chain gates equipped with nylon chain guides ensuring no bucket dislodgment, low power consumption, and a very steady and silent movement. The chain and rollers are available in various materials.

The buckets of a Simatek elevator are designed to be controlled by a ring and a steel pin. This unique system renders the buckets a harmonic motional curve in the emptying sections and a very accurate overlap of the buckets. The buckets are available in PP, PP+ glass for high temperature, PP+ carbon for anti-static execution, and stainless steel. The embedded steel pins minimize wear and tear and thus prolong the bucket lifetime.

The elevator buckets are made from white polypropylene, which is approved for use the food processing industry, in four sizes, which allow quantities up to 45 m3/h.

Simatek's universal elevators are of a standard modular design and are available in open or closed construction. Filling and discharge stations can be placed as required on the horizontal conveying sections, and can be operated manually, electrically or pneumatically.

The systems control unit continuously monitors power consumption and in an event of a sudden fluctuation, stops the machine to prevent overload or breakdown. The control unit replaces the more traditional friction problematic clutch/torque clutch.

As optional equipment Simatek offers a built in washing system, with integrated nozzles to wash the buckets and chains, with a hot air drying system. A separate, mobile washing station with integrated soap dosing, pump, drier, and control unit is also available.

In Europe and South America, Simatek, because of their high quality universal elevators, has obtained a large market shares in the fields of fishfeed pellets with up to 35% contents of oil/grease, pet food, seed grain, detergents, chips, snacks, nuts, peanuts, noodles, carbon black, battery powder, epoxy flakes, dried sludge pellets, corn flakes, tobacco, frozen vegetable, etc.
