ERIEZ's chip and parts conveyor provide a practically maintenance-free method for moving and elevating ferrous materials. With the exception of an externally mounted drive motor, the unit is self-contained and the conveyor mechanism is completely enclosed. There are no moving external parts to jam, break, or endanger personnel. By using a continuous series of powerful ceramic magnets, the conveyors pick up and glide materials along the stainless steel slider plate, discharging over the head end.
