Bucket Elevator

MF TECNO Bucket elevators are designed for vertical handling and transport, even at great heights, of a vast quantity of bulk products with different grain sizes.

However, they are not the ideal solution for transporting delicate products, for which our Oscillating Bucket Elevator is the ideal conveyor.

MF TECNO and MIAL elevators are particularly suitable for conveying salt, sugar, grains, granuloplastic polymers (TPEs), wood chips (small wood particles from processing waste), pellets of all types (material dried and then compressed into small rolls), manure, compost and various types of fertilizers.

Their versatility makes them suited for several industries: food, pharmaceutical, chemical, cosmetic, ceramic, metallurgical and many others.

How a Bucket Elevator works - 3 steps for moving your product

1. The product is transported with buckets made of AISI 304 stainless steel or another material, depending on the customer's choice.

2. The buckets are arranged at regular intervals on a belt driven by a drive pulley, which is held in tension by an idler pulley. The vertical section of the Elevator is made from closed or steel modules and a steel inspection door.

3. Product is collected from the buckets and then transported vertically to or discharge point.

Bucket Elevator: Resistance, Speed, Customization.

Structure material – The material can be chosen between AISI 304 stainless steel and painted steel, according to the customer’s requirements. Both materials offer strength, durability and maximum hygiene.

Conveying speed – The maximum speed of the system is 14126 ft³/h: this parameter can be customized according to the specific customer needs.

Customization – The system is highly customizable and offers several options to suit the specifics of your project. You can choose the structure material, the loading and unloading points, the conveying capacity in ft³/h, and the type of buckets.

Buckets features:
