The Prorunner mk5-XL continuous vertical conveyor is suitable for average to high capacity applications. It is perfect to transport (bigger) products vertically up and down.
Continuous vertical conveyor - Prorunner mk5-XL
The Prorunner mk5-XL is designed for when you want to handle bigger products than the regular Prorunner mk5 can handle. This continuous product lift is still module-based and it offers a maximum capacity of 2,000 products per hour. The modular buildup of our vertical conveyors in general offers another benefit, which is that the shipment volumes are smaller and therefore shipment costs are cheaper. Our continuous vertical conveyor Prorunner mk5-XL is used to effortlessly and quickly transport a wide variety of (bigger) products vertically.
The Prorunner mk5-XL is also an energy-efficient product lift, which can be used to quickly transport products up or down. It is also possible to have products to be transported up while also bringing another batch of products down. Products like boxes, cases, trays or bags can be transported to and from a height up to 17.3 meters / 56 ft 10 inch. The products are always carried in an upright position so there is no risk of product deformation.
The Prorunner mk5-XL is capable to lift bigger products! Like already mentioned above, our continuous vertical conveyor can be used for both ascending and descending product flows at the same time! This versatile vertical conveyor is even suitable to function as a vertical sorter by adding retractable conveyors at the in and outfeed. Find out more here.

Prorunner mk5-XL Configurations
The Prorunner mk5-XL can effortlessly be integrated into almost any existing setting or lay-out. When configuring your system, simply follow the step-by-step plan which is designed to make it easier for you to navigate the various options. You can use the adjoining illustration to help select your infeed and outfeed options. You can also select the type of drive system: motor (M) or gravity (G). When you know this you can find the correct 3D image in the table below. That is all!
For example, if you would like to elevate your products, feeding them in at the front and out to the side, choose combination B4 or C1. If you would like to descend your products, feeding them both in and out to the sides, choose combination 8E or 5H.
Elevate
Descend
No, its not possible to have both infeed and outfeed in only one side of the lift. The princip of the prorunner MK5 is that all infeed/s should be in the right side and all outfeed/s should be at the left side or vice versa.
FCA/CIF/DDP/DAP
We pack our products on wood with an heat treatment. When the shipment goes overseas we use VCI worthy foil to ensure that the shipment is free of moisture and dust.
Yes, all our wood is treated against pests by a heat treatment and meets the world wide ISPM 15 standard.
This is mainly related to the flexibility and application of the lifts. For information, see the website.
An absolute encoder gives an absolute position. An incremental encoder measures the changes in position. With each movement, counting the number of steps. Qimarox uses incremental encoders from SEW because of their high quality and simplicity.
No, the rollerdrive has a diameter of 50mm. The other rolls have a diameter of 40mm.
Yes, there is an XL version with a maximum product size up to 900 x 610mm but for pallet sized products we would recommend our PR12, PRmk9 or PRmk10.
Yes the PR mk5 is available with special components/parts suitable to be installed successfully into a freezing room up to -28⁰C
The Mk5 XL becomes an option when product dimensions exceed 600 x 610 mm.
No, that’s not possible. The mk5 is not engineered for outdoor use.
Yes, the powder-coated frames and covers can be produced in a wide range of RAL colors of your choice!
Yes, due to the flexible design, we can configure a continuous lift with shuttle conveyors, so products can move up and down at the same time!
Yes, but in order to maximize buffering capacity, the lift has to operate in step by step mode (Start-Stop). The capacity is very dependent on the configuration. Please contact our sales representative for more information.
No, the capacity is limited to 400–600 cph because the product has to have enough time to travel through. For higher capacities, reject should be performed before the product reaches the lift. Performing the reject before the lift is always preferred.
No, the shuttle conveyors have an IP rating of 54, which is not enough to be washed down.
Maximum rate is subject to product height. In any case it will never exceed 1000 – 1100 cph due to shuttle cycle time.
We use photocell reflectors to detect if a product is on the conveyor. If the product is lower than 50mm, the light beam of the photocell might not be fully blocked, resulting in unreliable sensor readings.
The maximum product size for the mk5 is 600x610mm. The maximum product height depends on the height of the machine and the requested capacity. If the need arises to transport bigger products, we recommend the mk5 XL.
There are multiple factors that determine the capacity of a mk5 product lift. Some of these are: column height, amount of in and out feed levels, conveyor type, product weight and size.
No, at the moment we only sell een Washdown Stainless steel variant.
No, The mk5 is a pre-engineered machine. During development, the gear motor position has been chosen with load and power consumption in mind. Changing the position to the bottom of the lift would have a negative impact on power consumption
No, a FAT is not possible. When the lift is assembled by Qimarox, every part is rigorously tested. We do not have the facility to test the system as a whole.
This of course depends on the height of the lift and any accessories ordered. However, each lift can be sent in modules, which means that the volume can be very limited.
