Indoor or Outdoor Handlingīucket elevators are enclosed systems, making them ideal in both indoor and outdoor handling applications, as well as when dust is a concern.īucket elevators are highly customizable, allowing for design of a system tailored to the specific challenges and goals of the project.īucket elevators have a significantly smaller spatial footprint compared to inclined conveyors.īucket elevators are capable of handling a wide range of materials, from heavy rocks to light and fluffy free-flowing materials.īucket elevators are capable of handling large volumes of material.The actual TPH throughput capacity of the elevator depends on the characteristics of the material.īucket elevators can handle a variety of materials, and therefore are used in many different industries and applications, though generally, they are not suited for wet, sticky materials, or materials that are stringy or tend to mat or agglomerate. Bucket Elevator Advantagesīucket elevators are the preferred choice for vertical handling applications in a range of industries for the many advantages they offer. FEECO offers the following bucket styles:įor additional information on bucket styles, see Bucket Style Selection. Options differ depending on whether the unit is continuous or centrifugal. They are best for jobs requiring rugged handling of large particles, or materials that are heated or have a potential for combustion.īuckets are available in many shapes, sizes, and materials. ChainĬhain bucket elevators provide a higher-capacity, more durable handling option. Buckets are mounted onto a belt made of various compounds depending on the application.īelt bucket elevators are ideal in settings where noise is a concern, as they offer quiet handling. Direct loading of the material, combined with the slow speed of this elevator type, avoids the “throwing” action associated with centrifugal style elevators, making it ideal for use with fragile materials.īelt bucket elevators offer cost-effective handling for lighter-duty jobs. Buckets are designed for gentle discharge the buckets are closely spaced on the belt or chain to allow the material to flow over the backside of the preceding bucket, whose extended sides form a chute to guide the material into the discharge spout. Material is fed into the buckets from an inlet chute. Continuous bucket elevators are also used to convey light, free-flowing matter where aeration of the material must be avoided. They are also ideal for handling sluggish or abrasive materials. The design of this style yields optimized material fill and reduced interference between buckets.Ĭentrifugal style elevators are ideal for materials like sand, gravel, woodchips, and other free flowing bulk materials where fragility is not a concern.Ĭontinuous bucket elevators are designed to handle friable, fragile materials to minimize product degradation or damage. The buckets are spaced in wider intervals to prevent discharge interference from the preceding bucket and to assure maximum fill of the buckets at the boot end while moving at a higher speed. Centrifugal force at the head pulley “throws” material from the buckets into the discharge chute. For this reason, durable buckets should be selected with this design. Instead of direct loading, buckets serve as the loading apparatus, scooping material up from the boot or inlet section. CentrifugalĬentrifugal bucket elevators are chosen when there is a need to move large amounts of material quickly. For both options, the elevator can be either the belt or chain type. Service platforms and access ladders availableīucket elevators are available in either the centrifugal or continuous configuration.Inspection doors on both sides of discharge.Horizontally and vertically heavy-reinforced, jig welded head, boot, and intermediate sections.Bucket elevators can be ordered in a number of configurations, including centrifugal belt, centrifugal chain, continuous belt, continuous single chain and continuous double chain. We offer a variety of bucket elevator designs and sizes to handle materials ranging from dry dusty powders such as fly ash, to heavy materials such as iron ore pellets.
