Poeth developed its new Z-Conveyor in an effort to minimize the amount of light powders left behind in transport systems, and optimize production capacity.

The new Z-Conveyor by Poeth was specially developed for the hygienic transport of light, fine powders in the vertical, diagonal or horizontal direction. The innovative transport system consists of plastic flights that move forward on a chain within an enclosed trough and at the unloading point “fall” gently out of the transport system. The Z-Conveyor is therefore ideal for use with light, fine products that are difficult to empty completely. The flights are hermetically sealed with the transport shaft and base and this minimizes the amount of product remaining behind or falling back. This means that the Z-Conveyor is suitable for the complete emptying of transport systems without the risk of carry-over or contamination.

For the Z-Conveyor, Poeth invested in its own test facility with a height of 9 metres. At this facitility, it simulates practical situations, carries out closed loop endurance tests and tests the products of clients for, for example, sensitivity to damage, capacity, clogging and wear on the system. es.

The Z-Conveyor has a high loading capacity (5 m3 to 220 m3 per hour). An additional advantage of Poeth’s Z-Conveyor is the low energy consumption. The new Z-Conveyor is also explosion safe, eliminating the need for costly investment in ATEX safety systems.
