From grain to feed
Flight Conveyor
Ottevanger Flight Conveyors meet strict hygiene requirements and move powders and granulates in a fully enclosed U-shaped trough with minimal dust and easy cleaning. Capacity is 30 to 400 m³/h, with inclines up to 40° depending on product, plus a robust drive, wear resistant parts, and overflow detection for reliable long life operation.
- Hygiene-first, fully enclosed U-trough
- Handles powders and granulates reliably
- Capacities 30–400 m³/h; incline up to 40°
Design & Operation
General
Built for food, feed and high-hygiene processes, the flight conveyor uses a S235 steel, U-shaped trough with primer and paint finish to ensure durability and clean operation. Geared drive units power the chain; product overflow detection is standard for process protection. A chain tensioner, guide strips for the flights and HMPE flights keep material moving smoothly while limiting wear and noise. For layouts that require elevation, the system supports inclined conveying up to 40° (depending on product). Optional executions adapt the conveyor to your environment, capacity target and sanitation routine.
Performance & Applications
Overview
Key benefits
Discover the key benefits of the flight conveyors.
- Hygienic & dust-tight — enclosed U-trough limits dust and supports sanitation.
- Process reliability — standard overflow detection and positive chain tensioning stabilize flow.
- Wear resistance — HMPE flights and guide strips protect the conveying path and reduce service intervals.
- Flexible layout — horizontal and inclined up to 40°; optional intermediate outlets for controlled discharge.
- Future-proof execution — available in AISI 304 stainless or galvanized steel, with ATEX Zone 22 drive units and speed sensing.
