Bucket elevators are designed to move flowing powders or bulk solids vertically. Bucket elevators use an endless belt or chain and have a series of buckets attached to it. Bulk material is spread into an inlet hopper. Buckets (or cups) dig into the material and convey it up and over the head sprocket/pulley, and then throw the material out a discharge throat.
Centrifugal bucket elevators are used to convey all free-flowing, powdered bulk solids such as grains, animal feed, sand, minerals, sugar, aggregates, chemicals and more. They operate at high speeds, which throw the materials out the buckets into discharge throats by centrifugal force.
FEATURES: 1. On site increase or decrease in height possible
2. Less maintenance due to self lubricated bearings.
3. Easy tensioning of belt possible.
4. Quick cleaning of bottom intake section due to doors on either side.
5. Longer bucket life since deep drawn steel buckets are used.
