Carry the fruit through the height change
The belt supports the fruit as it rises from the lower intake. Retaining features limit backward movement, while side clearance and the loading arrangement keep the material within the conveying path. At the top, the outlet directs the fruit to the next machine.
Pomegranate dimensions, exterior condition and the way fruit arrives at the intake influence the belt selection. The incline, width and feeding depth must work together: increasing belt speed alone does not resolve crowding or an awkward discharge.
Connect two machines without an uncontrolled drop
| Part of the transfer | Practical arrangement |
|---|---|
| Lower intake | Receiving height and access for the incoming fruit supply |
| Incline | Belt support, retaining geometry and side guarding |
| Upper discharge | Drop height, outlet width and the receiving equipment inlet |
| Drive control | Start, stop and selected speed control coordinated with preparation |
| Service position | Safe access to drive components and belt return |
Place the elevator before the prepared-aril interface
Use this equipment to organise the whole-fruit route into washing, inspection or the selected preparation arrangement. The accepted fruit then proceeds to opening and aril preparation through its defined process.
Loose wet arils need a separate assessment of contact surface, gaps, retained juice and transfer height. Their conveying duty is not established by a whole-fruit elevator specification.
Keep the return belt and intake reachable
Fruit debris collects near the intake, belt edges and return path. A useful installation leaves these areas available for washdown and inspection, with runoff directed into the preparation-area drainage system.
Agree belt material, drive protection and the procedure for tensioning or replacement with the supplied configuration. Guards and access platforms should remain usable when the adjacent washer, rails and receiving hoppers are installed.

Questions about this equipment and process
Is fruit intake the same capacity as juice production?
No. The elevator handles fruit mass at its own position. Accepted arils, extracted juice and residues are measured separately through the downstream process.
