Bucket Elevators
High-throughput vertical elevation in a minimal footprint.
Continuous bucket and chain or belt system for vertical elevation of grain, seed, and granular materials. High throughput in a small plan footprint makes bucket elevators the standard choice for grain silos.
Belt-and-bucket elevator for vertical grain elevation in a minimal floor footprint
01 / 08Overview
Bucket elevators continuously elevate bulk materials by means of buckets attached to a belt or chain running over head and boot pulleys. Material is scooped from the boot section and discharged centrifugally or positively at the head. Belt-and-bucket elevators are the most common configuration for grain and seed handling, while chain-and-bucket units are used for abrasive or heavy materials. Facet Engineering manufactures elevators with fabricated or pressed steel buckets, and with welded or bolted casings in mild steel, galvanised steel, or stainless steel. Leg heights are specified to the plant layout and the number of discharge points required.
