Bucket Elevator
Bucket elevators are versatile conveyor systems that are used to transport various bulk materials in conveyor technology. Belt bucket elevators enable the conveyance of materials with temperatures of up to 140 °C. Chain bucket elevators are ideal for coarse-grained bulk materials at higher temperatures. To avoid contamination when transporting different materials, the foot station can be equipped with a scooping tray that can be opened downwards or raised and lowered.

Bucket elevators and their essential features
high operational reliability
The operational reliability of bucket elevators is our top priority. Thanks to their well thought-out design and the use of high-quality materials, they offer trouble-free operation, even with intensive use. The risk of breakdowns or production downtimes is reduced to a minimum, which increases the efficiency of the entire system.
easy to use
Another feature that makes bucket elevators so popular is their ease of use. The intuitive handling makes daily operation easier and reduces the need for extensive training for operating personnel. Maintenance work can be carried out quickly and easily, resulting in minimal downtime.
Long service life due to robust construction
The robust design ensures that bucket elevators have a long service life and work reliably even under demanding conditions. The sturdy materials and the well-thought-out design of the bucket elevators come into their own, particularly in environments where bulk materials with high abrasion are transported. This minimizes wear and tear and significantly extends the service life of the system.
Special design for sticky bulk materials
In addition to the standard version, many bucket elevator manufacturers also offer special versions that are specifically designed for sticky bulk materials. These special designs prevent material from sticking to the buckets and ensure that the conveying process runs smoothly even with difficult materials.Mixing-free conveying
Another important feature of bucket elevators is the mixing-free conveying. Especially in areas where different bulk materials are transported, it is essential that these are not mixed together. Bucket elevators ensure precise transport so that the quality of the material being conveyed is always maintained.
