Food Manufacturing & Processing Vertical Reciprocating Conveyors

Vertical reciprocating conveyors (VRCs) are a safe and efficient way to transport large, heavy loads between two or more levels.

VRCs are essential tools for food manufacturing and processing facilities because they quickly, easily, and safely move heavy items between two or more floor levels. 

No matter the work environment — extreme heat, sub-zero temperatures, or wash-down environments — PFlow can design and manufacture a VRC for your specific application, no matter how specialized.

PFlow Industries is the pioneer and leading manufacturer of vertical reciprocating conveyors, and we can help you improve your food manufacturing operations with a VRC.
