Product Description
This elevator conveyor is built for vertical transport of small products like pods, nuts, snacks, and granular items. The hopper feeds product onto an inclined or vertical belt, enabling gentle handling in limited floor space. The frame uses 304 stainless steel, meeting food-industry hygiene expectations; buyers may also opt for carbon steel as a cost-saving alternative. Belt material choices—PP chain plate, PVC, or PU—accommodate different product surfaces and cleaning requirements. The baffle distance (pitch) determines how much product is carried per flight; the standard is 254 mm, fully customizable to match dosing volumes. Height is also customizable from a standard 3,480 mm. Power options from 0.25 kW to 1.5 kW allow matching conveyor speed and load to the application. The supplier brands under “Zon Pack”, manufactured in Hangzhou, China.
This item is sold as a single unit, with a base SKU price of $1,300. Full specifications and integration with upstream/downstream equipment must be confirmed directly, as models are selectable according to specific needs.

Conveying Width (Baffle Distance): 254 mm (customizable)
Height: 3,480 mm standard (customizable)
Power: 0.25 / 0.75 / 1.5 kW
Voltage: 220V / 380V
Warranty: 12 months
Installation & Operation Notes
Buyers should verify on-site power supply configuration: 220V or 380V depending on the motor selected. The elevator ships as a single unit in a crate approximately 6,090 mm × 660 mm × 650 mm, weighing 400 kg — unboxing and positioning require sufficient space and likely a forklift. Assembly and commissioning can be supported by Zon Pack engineers, who are available for overseas service. No automated control details are listed, so procurement teams should request the control panel interface, start/stop logic, and safety features (emergency stops, guarding) during RFQ. Regular maintenance focuses on belt tensioning and cleaning; belt material selection influences washdown compatibility. The 12-month warranty covers manufacturing defects; obtain precise terms in the purchase contract.
Applications
The listed applicable industries cover a wide spectrum, from food and beverage factories to farms, home use, and even machinery repair shops. Typical use cases might include:
- Elevating coffee pods or tea capsules into filling machines
- Transporting nuts, dried fruit, or grains in snack packaging lines
- Feeding small components in miscellaneous food industry production lines
- General material handling in non-food industrial settings with carbon steel variant
Because the equipment is hygienically designed (304 SS frame, belt options), it particularly suits environments requiring regular wash-downs. However, for wet cleaning, confirm IP ratings and motor enclosures with the supplier.
Company Profile
Hangzhou Zon Packaging Machinery Co., Ltd. supplies a range of weighing and conveying equipment, including multihead weighers, linear weighers, manual combination weighers, and conveyors. Their specialization in weighing equipment suggests that this elevator is often part of a larger packaging line, likely paired with a weigher and filling machine. With overseas service capability, the company positions itself for export markets. Buyers evaluating this elevator should assess the supplier’s track record in similar pod-handling applications; request references or case studies where available.
Next Steps for Buyers
This elevator meets the basic requirements for a sanitary, customizable vertical conveyor at a competitive price point ($1,300 base). To shortlist it, procurement teams should:
- Request a detailed datasheet with throughput capacity (kg/h or pieces/min) for pod dimensions similar to your product.
- Confirm the correct power and voltage option for your facility.
- Obtain a quotation for the desired baffle distance, belt material, and height — including packaging and shipping costs.
- Ask for a sample belt segment and, if possible, a test run video to evaluate product handling gentleness.
- Clarify MOQ, lead time, and warranty terms (scope of on-site vs. remote support).
Direct engagement with Hangzhou Zon Pack will determine if this SKU fits your line’s throughput and hygiene standards.
