Overview This Gronemeyer VFA is a vertical conveyor for glass bottles,
built in April 2020 by Gronemeyer Maschinenfabrik GmbH & Co. (Höxter,
Germany). It raises bottles between the levels of a filling line and
works with two synchronously running endless chains whose carrier
elements take the bottle from both sides, so the container is guided
upright over the whole climb. The nominal capacity is 45,500 bottles
per hour at a conveying speed of approximately 60 m/min. The conveying
width is set by hand crank across a range of 20 to 150 mm, so a format
change needs no tooling. The machine is enclosed in transparent
guarding, has service doors with safety switches, an automatic central
lubrication system and a pneumatic chain tensioning station. It is
currently being dismantled and can be inspected at BEVMAQs warehouse
in Germany from early September 2026. Technical data Manufacturer:
