Bucket Elevators

Overview:

• One of the most efficient ways to elevate bulk materials vertically is with a bucket elevator. A Bucket Elevator consists of a series of buckets attached to a belt or chain with pulleys or sprockets located at the top and bottom of the unit. The buckets are in a casing or housing to contain the material. Bulk materials are loaded into each bucket as the bucket moves past an inlet point.

Application Area:

• Designed to handle a wide variety of bulk materials – from average to very free-flowing.

Features:

• Many different bucket and casing sizes available for capacities up to 20,000 cubic feet per hour.
• Completely enclosed for dust and weather-tight operation.
• Inlet section can be control fed or flood loaded with bulk materials.

Customization Options:

• Custom engineered for your specific application.
• Wide range of construction materials – Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel and abrasion-resistant alloys.
• Belt and Chain type elevators available to meet your specific requirements.
• Screw-type or Internal gravity take-ups available.
• Heavy-duty construction – to increase life and reduce downtime.
• Totally enclosed design – to eliminate dust or vapor emissions.
• Multiple bucket styles available – to increase conveying capacity.
• Bucket material and style chosen based on material characteristics – Plastic or Metal buckets
