The elevators/conveyors by GEA are designed to collect the product from one or more points and convey it to the desired users.
Thanks to their modular components, GEA elevators are available in various configurations to meet client needs and comply with the required loading and unloading specifications. The gearmotor with torque limiter installed on the elevator end, drives the chain conveyor and the buckets assembled on it.
The discharge terminals can be fixed or mobile and equipped with recirculating ball slides. GEA buckets have no accumulation points, meet the highest hygiene standards and are easy to replace.

In this interview, she takes us on a world tour of food biotech in seven questions.
