What Are The Applications?


The bucket on the bucket elevator is usually made of durable materials such as steel or plastic, and is designed to scoop up materials as the bucket elevator conveyor moves upward. The bucket then unloads the materials to the top of the elevator, where they can be directed into storage bins or other processing equipment, such as belt conveyor. It can be widely used for vertical transportation of bulk materials in:

  • feed mills, flour mills, rice mills, oil mills, starch factories,
  • granaries,
  • ports,
  • quarrying plant,
  • mining plant,
  • cement plant,
  • power plant,
  • and others.
