Continuous Bucket Elevators
Continuous bucket elevator is a type of Bucket Elevators designed to carry product "all the way" between processes gently and without degradation. Moulded polyamide buckets are connected one to the other by silicone joining strips which creates a continuous "bucket belt" or bucket conveyor. With the bucket belt connected between two of our unique "rubber chains" the drive system allows the bucket elevator to provide high throughputs without spillage. Bucket elevators have been supplied to many sections of the food industry. We currently handle confectionery - wrapped, boiled, chocolate coated - frozen vegetables and meat, milk powders, ingredients, fatted biscuit crumb and snack foods. The same food quality characteristics of the system also satisfy the producers of salt, soap powders, construction industry materials, ceramic constituents, pesticides, catalyst pellets and dried sewage sludge as no lubrication is required.
Most of the continuous bucket elevator drive system is "rubber chain" providing outstanding features, with no links, is silent-running, wear-resistant and maintenance free, all excellent qualities further enhanced by its corrosion-free design.
