Bucket Elevator - Core Information

A compact, high-capacity vertical conveying equipment for bulk materials (grains, fertilizers, ores, powders) that efficiently improves material handling efficiency vertically.

It solves the problems of traditional conveying methods such as large space occupation, low efficiency, and easy material scattering. Widely used in mining, agriculture, cement production, and food processing, it realizes seamless vertical conveying from ground storage to silos or multi-layer production lines.

Core Advantages (Compared to Traditional Vertical Conveying)

High Capacity & Speed

Normal throughput: 10-100m³/h (120m³/h optional). Wear-resistant buckets with adjustable speed (0.8-2.5m/s). A Brazilian sugarcane factory using 3 units reduced conveying time by half and increased productivity by 30%.

Space-Saving Design

Occupies only 1-2㎡, saving 70% space compared to inclined conveyors. Height can be customized (3-40m). A German flour mill installing for 15m silos reduced space occupation by 65%.

Strong Durability

Equipped with heavy-duty chains/belts and thick steel casing. Sealed bearings + self-lubricating components reduce maintenance. Average service life over 12 years, suitable for ores, gravel, cement, etc.

Safety & Material Protection

With overload protection, emergency stop device, fully enclosed dust-proof casing. Smooth bucket operation reduces material loss. Compliant with CE, OSHA, FDA, EU 10/2011 standards.

Industry Applications & Cases

Mining & Minerals

An Australian iron mine uses 2 units of BE-80 (chain drive, galvanized casing) to convey ores to 25m silos at 80m³/h, reducing maintenance costs by 40% with no unexpected shutdowns.

Agriculture & Grains

A Canadian grain cooperative uses 5 units of BE-50 (food-grade buckets) for 18m silos, reducing filling time from 5 hours to 2 hours with only 0.2% material scattering rate.

Food Processing

A Japanese rice mill uses 2 units of BE-30 (stainless steel buckets) connected to 10m packaging lines, reducing broken rice rate from 8% to 1.5%, compliant with JAS standards.

Integration with Other Equipment

Can seamlessly connect with other industrial equipment to build a complete material handling process:

  • With belt conveyors: Belt conveyors feed materials to the elevator inlet, and the elevator delivers materials to high-rise production lines.
  • With ton bag packing scales: The elevator delivers bulk materials to the weighing hopper for efficient large-capacity packaging.
  • With silos: Connect to silo inlets for fast, space-saving filling (suitable for grains, cement, plastic pellets).
