Bucket Elevators and Conveyors

Our bucket elevator system is a sophisticated mechanical solution designed to vertically transport materials to pre-determined elevations. It is highly versatile, making it an ideal solution for lifting both free flowing granular and powdered substances. Since they are made of stainless steel, these spaced buckets keep corrosion at bay for a long period of time, proving to be a beneficial investment for various industries.

Committed to maintaining the highest industry standards, our centrifugal bucket elevators are equipped with an optimal dust extraction system. This feature ensures the prevention of dust accumulation during operation, preserving the integrity of both the working environment and free flowing materials being processed. This amalgamation of efficiency, versatility, and safety underscores our dedication to providing industry-leading vertical conveying solutions.

Operating on the principles of centrifugal force, these vertical bucket conveyor systems are integral to continuous discharge material handling processes, proficiently dealing with an array of bulk materials. They comprise a drive shaft and a motor, both strategically positioned at the system's apex, facilitating the uninterrupted filling of attached buckets with material via dedicated hoppers or chutes. Subsequently, the material is expertly conveyed upward before being seamlessly deposited into a discharge chute, owing to chain bucket elevators.

Types of Bucket Elevators:

Belt Type
Chain Type
- Single leg type bucket elevator
- Twin leg type bucket elevator
- ‘Z’ type bucket elevator

Single leg type bucket elevator

This type of bucket elevator has single casing, separated in top, intermediate and bottom casing. Basically, bucket elevator is top mounting motor driven conveyor.

Twin leg type bucket elevator

Twin leg type of bucket elevator has a split type casing into two parts – one is filled bucket travel casing, and another is empty bucket travel casing.

‘Z’ type bucket elevator

Customized Z Type Bucket Elevator that can transport the material horizontally then vertically and again horizontally with a single drive and bucket are pendulum type.

Features

Versatility: Belt bucket elevators are adaptable, capable of handling both granular and powdered materials, making them suitable for a wide array of applications.
Efficient Vertical Conveyance: These continuous bucket elevators utilize centrifugal force to transport materials vertically, providing an efficient solution for material elevation.
Dust Extraction System: To maintain a clean operation environment, our bucket elevator conveyor are equipped with an effective dust extraction system, minimizing dust during operations.
Durable Material Lining: The discharge side features a durable lining of Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), and for abrasive materials, a specialized Hardox lining is employed.
Safety Features: Bucket elevators are integrated with a Zero Speed Switch and a pawl and ratchet type backstop arrangement, ensuring the safety of both equipment and personnel.

Continuous Operation: The design of the bucket elevator allows for continuous filling and discharging of materials, making it a reliable component in a production line.
Compact Design: Despite their high speed performance, bucket elevators operate with a relatively compact footprint, making them suitable for operations where space is a premium.
High Capacity: Bucket elevators are capable of bulk material handling, making them suitable for high-capacity operations.
Low Power Consumption: Despite their capacity and height, bucket elevators are designed to consume less power compared to other types of belt conveyors, thus reducing operational costs.
Easy Maintenance: The design and construction of bucket elevators are such that they are easy to maintain and repair, leading to less downtime and higher productivity.
