Home | Products | Chain Elevators – CFG

• CFG Chain Elevator
• CFG Chain Elevator

Mechanical Conveyors

The CFG chain elevators and angleveyors are designed for efficient horizontal and vertical conveying of grain, offering flexible solutions with conveying capacities of 20 or 40 tonnes per hour.

Built with durable, galvanized construction, these elevators are ideal for outdoor installations and various grain handling needs. The modular design of the CFG chain elevators allows for flexible layout between horizontal and vertical conveying, making them a versatile choice for agricultural operations.

CFG Chain Elevators for Flexible Grain Handling

The CFG chain elevators are engineered to meet the requirements of both horizontal and vertical grain transport, offering reliable performance for conveying capacities of 20 or 40 t/h. Whether you need to move grain over short distances or vertically into storage, the CFG elevator provides a practical and easily adaptable solution.

Key Benefits of CFG Chain Elevators:

• Modular Flexibility: The system’s modular design offers numerous options for easy configuration of both horizontal and vertical conveying paths.
• Single Motor Operation: Powers both horizontal and vertical grain movement, simplifying the setup and reducing energy consumption.
• Outdoor Durability: Galvanized construction ensures resistance to weather and corrosion, making the system suitable for outdoor use.
• Drive Options: Available with either a gear motor or belt drive for individual choice of convenience for service attention.
• Versatile Auger Troughs: Open auger troughs are a beneficial choice for grain pits, while closed auger troughs are designed for horizontal point-to-point grain transport.
• Low Inlet Height: Allows for easy grain intake, even in areas with narrow spaces.
• Standard Connection Pipes: Simplifies integration with other equipment using a range of standard pipes.

Available Solutions

The CFG chain elevator system can be customized with a variety of configurations to meet different grain handling layout requirements, including:

• Trough Inlets: Provides smooth and controlled grain intake, simplifying pipe connection to other systems.
• Side Auger Connection: Auger connected directly to the elevator boot for a compact grain transfer solution.
• Side Auger with Motor: Motorized auger at the elevator boot allows for an extended length of side auger.
• Rain Protection: The motor is shielded by an optional rain cover, ensuring reliable operation in outdoor environments.
• Motor at Auger End: Placed at the end of the auger for easy on-off flow control, such as choosing to convey from one of the two sides.
• Closed Elevator Base: Equipped with an inlet on the elevator extension for efficient feeding and achievement of full conveying capacity.
• 90° or 45° Angle Sections: Offers flexible positioning for horizontal-to-vertical or angled conveying solutions.

Angle Elevator (Angleveyor)

The Angleveyor is a specialized elevator that effortlessly transitions between horizontal and vertical conveying. This makes it the ideal choice for filling storage silos or other applications where both vertical and horizontal transport are needed.

Key Highlights of the Angleveyor:

• Single Motor Connection: Powers both the horizontal and vertical conveying sections with one motor.
• Inlet Options: Inlets can be a side inlet, positioned at the return end or at the sides of the elevator extension for flexible intake.
• Compact Solution: Perfect for filling storage areas like silos, elevating grain from pit bottom to above ground level, and maximizing layout efficiency.
• Drive Options: Available with gear or belt drives to meet individual demands to level of attention for servicing.
