Wrightfield is the exclusive UK and Ireland reseller of Liftvrac conveyors, offering a unique technology for food product handling.
Elevate Your Products Without A Flighted Belt!
Liftvrac designs and manufactures a unique and recognised elevator conveyor. Its uniqueness lies in its outstanding features, ensuring product preservation, zero material loss, hygienic standards, reduced cleaning time, and simplified maintenance.
“Thanks to the physical principle of vaulting, the product remains completely intact and at its original temperature,” Régis Lasne, Liftvrac’s R&D Manager.
Elevate products without damage or product loss: how does it work?
An ingenious process lets Liftvrac conveyors handle the most delicate products without compromising quality.
- Smooth entry: Products arrive in the entry hopper on a patented smooth conveyor belt that is perfectly flat.
- Transformation into a tube: The belt encloses around the product, forming a tube. Thanks to the continuous flow, the product is held by itself and by those that follow. This is the application of the vaulting principle.
- Efficient and gentle elevation: Driven by a high-performance motor, the tube and products rise gently.
- Unfolding on exit: Once at the top, the belt opens and lies flat again, gently releasing the products.
- Precise unloading: Products are gently deposited directly onto the next machine, such as a multiheaded weigher, shredder, mixer or other downstream equipment.
- No loss: the belt is continuously scraped, eliminating product loss on the return strand.
Thanks to the clever application of the vaulting principle, The Liftvrac conveyor lifts sticky, pasty, breakable and sensitive products, such as crisps, biscuits, sausage paste, cut-up fresh fruit, or grated cheese, without damage.
Discover the Liftvrac Advantage – Watch It in Action
On the right, you’ll see a video demonstrating Liftvrac’s unique vaulting system. The animation showcases how the smooth, reinforced polyurethane belt gently wraps around the product, forming a tube that securely lifts it without compression or damage. As the product reaches the top, it is smoothly released, ensuring zero loss and maximum hygiene.
Watch how this innovative system easily transports even the most delicate or sticky food products—preserving their integrity and optimising efficiency. Press play to see the difference Liftvrac can make!

Conveyor Systems are mechanical devices or assemblies that transport materials, components, products or food with minimal effort.
Whilst there are a numerous different kinds of conveyor systems, they usually follow a standard configuration.
Plastic modular belts are perfectly suited to going round bends and curves
They can be easily repaired ( in the event of a breakage) and extended should the need occur. This has the advantage that the plastic belts can be changed quickly.
