Plate Elevators and Dual Plate Highway
Burgess has designed and manufactured several different styles of elevator systems to facilitate automated plate delivery to anywhere in your plant. The elevator style is determined by several factors including the plate volume needed to be delivered and the distance and height the plates need to travel.

Elevator components are made using the same precision optical sensors for go/no go operation, non-stick protective (standard and heat resistant) belts, and rubber coated wheels for optimal control and protection of imaged “press ready” plates as our other plate management modules.

Plate elevators can range from simple four feet high vertical multi-level plate transport indexing elevators feeding dual-level plate highways or dual-level sort-stack stations to single bar elevators or high speed elevator highways that cover multiple stories delivering plates to upper and lower press decks.
