Bucket elevators, also called a grain leg, are a critical component in various industries for the efficient vertical transport of bulk materials. They come in different designs and sizes, each suited to specific applications. SKE Industries is a bucket elevator manufacturer, and we provide Z type, chain type, belt type bucket elevator conveyor. You can use them to handle powdery, granular and lumpy materials.
Belt bucket elevator uses EP/NN belt or steel cord belt to lift the buckets. The lifting efficiency can reach 788m³/h. The lifting height can reach up to 80m (100, when using steel cord belt).
GTH round link chain bucket elevator uses round chain to lift the buckets, and the chain is made of high-strength alloy steel. The lifting efficiency can reach 1541m³/h. The lifting height can reach up to 80m.
NE plate chain bucket elevator uses plate chain to lift the bucket, and the chain is made of high-strength alloy steel high-strength plate. The lifting efficiency can reach 800m³/h. The lifting height can reach up to 40m.

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:
Bucket elevators are used for vertically transporting bulk materials, such as grains, minerals, and industrial products.
When it is used in grain handling, it is installed beside a grain silo. In grain handling industries, some engineers often call it grain leg.
A bucket elevator conveyor works by using a series of buckets attached to a belt or chain to carry materials from one level to another.
The main types of bucket elevators are centrifugal discharge, continuous discharge, and positive discharge elevators.
Bucket elevators can transport a wide range of materials, including grains, seeds, coal, ores, and processed foods.
Maintenance involves regular inspections, lubrication of moving parts, and timely replacement of worn-out components.
Safety measures include following established protocols, providing emergency stops, and ensuring the use of personal protective equipment.
