Elevators and lowerators are integral components in the packaging and manufacturing industry, designed to facilitate the vertical movement of goods, containers, or products between different heights. These systems are essential for efficient workflow, especially in processes involving the stacking or unstacking of items like bottles before they proceed to subsequent stages of production or packaging. By providing a seamless transition between levels, they help optimize space utilization and streamline operations, making them suitable for a variety of applications in facilities looking to enhance their material handling capabilities.

Whether raising filled containers for palletizing or lowering empty bottles from depalletizers to conveyors, these machines are designed for gentle handling and precise orientation. Elevators and lowerators can be tailored to accommodate different container types and speeds, offering continuous or intermittent movement using platforms, cleated belts, or pneumatic lifts.

Typical products and applications include:

• Glass or plastic bottles: Raised or lowered between conveyors during depalletizing or palletizing
• Cans or jars: Elevated from accumulation tables to filling equipment
• Cartons and trays: Transferred to different levels during packing or inspection stages
• Cases and totes: Lifted or lowered between warehouse storage systems and production lines
• Pouches or sealed bags: Moved vertically into cartoning or secondary packaging equipment

Additional Considerations:

• Supports ergonomic line design and space-saving layouts in multi-level facilities
• Can be integrated with conveyors, sorters, or palletizers for a seamless flow
• Equipped with safety guarding and smooth transition systems to protect product integrity
• Available in a variety of configurations including Z-frame, spiral, or platform lifts
• Handles a wide range of product sizes, weights, and line speeds with precision
