Mitchells’ Elevators And Ultramax Conveyors Now CE Approved
Mitchells Equipment is very pleased to announce that another two pieces of their bulk handling equipment range have now received CE approval.
Leading inspection, verification, testing and certification company, SGS, assessed and approved both Mitchells’ Bucket Elevators and Ultramax Conveyors under the test standards applicable to the Machinery Directive (98/37/EC). These pieces now join the list of CE approved Mitchells’ equipment:
- Screw Conveyors
- Slide Gates
- Plug Screw Conveyors
- En Masse Chain Conveyors
- Bulk Flow Conveyors
- Round Drag Conveyors
Especially designed for the feed and grain industries, Bucket Elevators since their conception have been a cost effective way to vertically transport loose bulk materials. A typical Bucket Elevator is made up of a series of buckets or cups mounted to a belt moving in a continuous loop sending materials directly upwards.
Ultramax Conveyors are a unique conveying solution that can only be found at Mitchells Equipment. Superior to other chain/drag conveyors, designed as an efficient solution for receiving or moving dry grain, granules and meals horizontally in a compact regular stream, Ultramax Conveyors have the added flexibility of providing ULTRAclean operation and transferring materials at MAXimum capacity. ULTRAclean operation of the conveyor moves products without leaving residues, thus preventing build-up and cross contamination. MAXimum capacity operation allows for the carrying of a higher volume of materials within the available trough structure than other drag conveyors.
Like all of Mitchells’ equipment, Bucket Elevators and Ultramax Conveyors are designed to customer’s specifications and built to endure continual operation (24/7). Their flexible design capabilities allow for the creation of a unique piece of equipment completely suited to the customer’s operational needs. While nothing has changed in terms of the way Mitchells engineers and manufacturers these pieces, affixing the CE marking certainly makes them a more competitive equipment provider in international markets such as Europe.
While those already in possession of one of these great pieces of equipment are already in the know, Mitchells will continue to strive for excellence in the reliability and safety of their workmanship, with CE approval forming a small part of that.
