WHY PURLIFT?

The PURlift is a dual “sandwich” lift conveyor that vertically lifts product to connect the key processes on your food processing line in a compact footprint with no waste. Elevate your processing with the PURlift.

OPTIMAL PRODUCT INTEGRITY

Self-tracking positive drive belt and belt scrapers ensure consistent flow and no product waste, even on sticky products like dough, peanut butter, or meat. Quickly adjust the pivot point to accommodate multiple products.
TRUSTY OPERATION

Automatic infeed, pneumatic belt tensioning, and adjustable belt hold mean dependable, efficient, and quiet operation.
SANITARY & MAINTENANCE FRIENDLY

Featuring an open-frame design, easy access components, and tool-less belting adjustments and changeouts make maintenance and sanitation quick yet thorough.

Product Features

The PURlift positive drive vertical lift conveyor fits in tight spaces where you need to elevate your food processing line. Its positive drive system and self-tracking belt keep your product and operation moving. Sanitation is more efficient with caster footing to move on and off the line quickly, and a pneumatic belt tensioning system doubles as a quick release take up.

Historically known as a dough elevator, we’ve optimized the PURlift for a range of manipulative, consistent products such as peanut butter, meat, and even green beans.

Automatic infeed keeps product moving without delay
