Belt Bucket Elevators

Belt Bucket Elevators are equipped with buckets on belt, moving in a vertically closed path between two pulleys. The elevators make use of gravity and centrifugal actions for operating in such a way that the material is picked up at the bottom and discharged at the upper end. These elevators are ideal for small lump size, granular, powder and abrasive material.


Features

  • Standardization of designs that are dependable and versatile
  • Continuous or centrifugal type discharge.
  • Rigid, strong, jig-built casings in perfect alignment and weather-tight.
  • Two-piece hood permitting access to head section interior without disturbing machinery. Spring clamps facilitate removal and replacement.
  • Inspection hatch that can be easily lifted to view terminal machinery.
  • Optional shaft mounted speed reducer drive compact and easy to install.
  • Large, latch-type doors located on front, back and sides of boot section to facilitate inspection, service and cleanout.
  • The head shaft is mounted in antifriction ball or roller bearing pillow blocks.
  • Superior components chains, sprockets, pulleys, belts, buckets, bearings, takeups and drives.


Applications

  • Delivery of dry citrus pellets to railroad hopper cars.
  • Elevating soda ash, fertilizer or limestone to silo storage.
  • Depositing food products into weigh hoppers.
  • Lifting coal from track hoppers to storage silos.
  • Elevate aggregate materials for ready-mix concrete plants.
