Z Type Conveyor-DAHAN Vibration Machinery

Introduction of Z Type Conveyor

Z type conveyor is a type of vertical conveyor that is commonly used in the food and packaging industries to transport products between different levels of a production line. The conveyor is named after its shape, which resembles the letter "Z" when viewed from the side.The main advantage of a Z type conveyor is its ability to move products vertically and horizontally at the same time, allowing for efficient and space-saving transportation. The conveyor typically consists of a series of angled sections that are connected by flexible chains or belts. The product is loaded onto the conveyor at the bottom, and then moves up the angled sections to the top level of the production line.

Z type conveyors are often used to transport delicate or fragile products, such as chips, crackers, and other snacks, as they provide a gentle and smooth transport mechanism that minimizes product damage. They can also be used for a wide range of other products, including bottles, cans, and other packaged goods.

What Are The Two Types of Z Type Conveyors?

There are two different types of Z type conveyors here:

1. Z type bucket conveyor

bucket volume	1.8L	3.6L	6.5L
bucket material	pp	ss304	ABS
body material	mild steel	stainless steel	---
NO.S of discharge port	single	muti-discharge port	---
output	4-6m3/h	6.5-8m3/h	5.5-12m3/h
voltage(v)	220v/240v/as you need	380v/415v/440v/as you need	as you need
speed	adjustable
conveying capacity	3-10m3/h

Consists of a series of sloping sections or "legs" connected by horizontal sections. Buckets are attached to chains or belts that move along the conveyor, lifting materials to the inclined section and depositing them to the horizontal section. The main advantage is its ability to transport bulk materials vertically while minimizing spills and breakage. Buckets are designed to keep material from falling off the conveyor belt, and the gentle lifting action helps minimize breakage and damage to material. Conveyors are used in a wide range of industries including food processing, agriculture and mining.

2. Z type belt conveyor

Consists of a series of sloping sections or "legs" connected by horizontal sections. The belt is attached to a series of rollers or pulleys that move along the conveyor, carrying products onto the inclined section and depositing them on the horizontal section. It is able to transport products vertically while minimizing product damage. Conveyor belts are designed to provide a smooth, gentle transport mechanism that helps minimize product breakage and damage. Conveyors are used in a wide range of industries including food processing, pharmaceuticals and automotive manufacturing.
