Bucket Elevator is most popular system in use today for elevating bulk materials. TRIMECH Bucket Elevator systems are renowned for their quality and strength.

A Bucket Elevator consists of a series of buckets attached to a abelt/chain with pulleys or sprockets located at the top and bottom of the unit. The buckets are located in a casing or housing to conatain the material. Bulk materials are loaded into each bucket as the bucket moves past an inlet point.

The buckets are made from drawn steel seamless or fabricated of sufficient gauge and are attached to belt/chain by means of locking type bolts.

1. Centrifugal Bucket Elevator

Centrifugal Bucket Elevators are chosen when there is a need to move large amounts of material quickly. This elevator type can yield material degradation, and is therefore best fit for handling durable and abrasive materials like sand, gravel, woodchips and other free-flowing bulk materials where fragility is not a concern.

2. Continuous Bucket Elevator

Continuous Bucket Elevators are primarily used when gentle handling is required. 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. or materials that are light and/or prone to aeration.

Buckets are designed to facilitate a gentle discharge; material pours out of he bucket and slides down the inverted bucket ahead into the discharge chute.
