Swing Tray Bucket Elevators

Swing tray elevators use trays or buckets that are free to pivot on their attachment points as they travel around the head and boot sprockets. This pivoting action means that the tray remains level and the product is gently tipped out at discharge rather than being thrown by centrifugal force. The result is a significant reduction in product damage compared to centrifugal-discharge bucket elevators. Swing tray elevators are the preferred solution for peanuts, dry beans, and other legumes, as well as fragile seeds, specialty crops, and high-value processed products where breakage rates directly affect product value and customer satisfaction.
