BeltLifter Pneumatic Conveyor Belt Lift

Exclusive Importer & Engineering Partner in Israel: S.F.I. Engineering & Conveying Ltd.

A highly robust, portable pneumatic lifting device engineered to lift heavy conveyor belts quickly and safely. Developed with an emphasis on operator safety and efficiency, the BeltLifter enables a single operator to lift the heaviest tensioned rubber and steel-cord belts. It radically improves working conditions during roller (idler) replacements, reduces overall maintenance turnaround times by 50%, and protects the belt and frame from mechanical damage.

Core Engineering & Operational Benefits:

·         Enables a single operator to safely lift heavy, highly tensioned conveyor belts without helper assistance.

·         Cuts conveyor maintenance and idler replacement downtime by a massive 50%.

·         Pneumatic operation provides smooth, controlled lifting, preventing sudden drops or shifting loads.

·         Prevents belt damage, punctures, and structural conveyor frame bending associated with manual jacking.

·         Lightweight, rugged, and highly portable design allows easy transport to remote overland conveyor sections.

Expanded End-Use Industrial Applications:

Application 1: Overland Mining & Mineral Conveyors

Overland conveyors in the Negev Desert carry heavy mined minerals across rugged terrains. Idler bearings frequently fail due to heat and dust, requiring immediate replacement. Manually lifting these heavy, tensioned belts in remote locations requires a large maintenance crew, heavy chain blocks, and hours of tedious work. With S.F.I.'s pneumatic BeltLifter, a single technician can hook up a portable air compressor, lift the belt in minutes, and replace the rollers safely, reducing downtime from hours to minutes.

Application 2: Elevated Conveyor Galleries in Cement Plants

Conveyors in cement plants often run on narrow, elevated enclosed galleries with zero clearance for heavy lifting crane machinery. Replacing seized rollers in these tight spaces is physically exhausting and highly hazardous. The compact, portable BeltLifter is easily carried up the gallery stairs. It fits perfectly into tight spaces, lifting the belt safely from underneath and eliminating physical strain and injury risks for maintenance crews.

Application 3: Heavy Steel-Cord Belt Maintenance

Steel-cord reinforced conveyor belts are incredibly heavy and stiff. Standard manual hydraulic jacks often slip or concentrate forces on a small area, damaging the belt's bottom rubber cover. The BeltLifter distributes the pneumatic lifting force evenly across the belt's width, lifting the massive steel-cord structure smoothly without any risk of slip, slide, or belt damage.
