Bucket Elevators
Bucket Elevators as name suggests lifts the material using bucket like containers. The Bucket Elevator is one more equipment that is most preferred when it comes to large capacity, more height and space restrictions.
- The Bucket Elevators can handle variety of materials from powders, granules and lumps very effectively with small handling cost.
- To suit various types of materials, various capacities and heights, there are different type of Bucket Elevators designed by engineers to increase ease, cost and effectiveness.

BUCKET ELEVATORS areideal for elevating a variety of bulk materials economically, efficiently and reliably. The two main types of Bucket Elevators are centrifugal type and continuous type.
GENARAL :
Extremely suitable for handling fine, free flowing materials. Lower feed point, simpler loading and lesser no. of buckets characterise the centrifugal type when compared to continuous. Buckets are on chain or belt and travel at high speeds to effect discharge by cenrifugal forces as they pass around the head pulley. The buckets are mounted at intervals on a chain or belt.
Centrifugal Belt Type -Ceb :
The elvator belts are normally friction surface belts on which the buckets are mounted. Buckets normally used are style AA malleable iron buckets. Drive is through shaft mounted gear reducer with built - in back stop, or through geared motors with chain drive.
Centrifugal Chain Type - Cec :
Buckets are mounted on chains, which are std. combination chains or steel side bar chains. Heat treated chains are style AA malleble iron buckets. drive is through shaft mounted gear reducer with built-in back stop or through geared motor with chain drive.

Continuous bucket elevators have buckets mounted continuously on chain or belt. These elevators are suitable for sluggish, aerated and friable material or material with larger % of lumps. Loading of the buckets is through loading leg and discharged over the face of the preceding bucket while passing around the headwheel.
Continuous Belt Type-Cob :
The buckets are mounted continuously on the face of the elevator belts which are normally friction surface belt.
Continuous type steel buckets are used leaving minimum clearance between the buckets. Drive is through shaft mounted gear reducer with built in back stop or through geared motor with chain drive.
Continuous Chain Type-Coc :
Buckets are mounted continuously on chains which are std. combination chains or steel side bar chains.
Buckets are continuous type, leaving minimum clearance between the buckets. Drive is through shaft mounted gear reducer with built-in back stop or through geared motor with chain drive.

General :
- This is suitable for large volume handling of grains, feeds etc.
- The elevator is self supporting with extra large heads and boot pulleys.
- They are fabricated from heavy gauge steel and are dust and water proof and with provision for easy clean out.
|
|
 |
General :
-
Fabricated from galvanised steel sheets, is of single leg construction. Extremely suitable for small feed mills and drives with capacity upto 20 t/hr.
-
The elevator is with intake chutes, suitable discharge spouts, inspection door and cleanout in boot.
|
 |
General :
- These are usually centrifugal chain type bucket elevators with buckets mounted on a single strand of chain.
- The buckeys are normally a special combination of AA and continuous type bucket.
