Product description

Bucket Elevator

High Efficiency, Robust Construction and Project-Specific Solutions

Bucket elevators are industrial conveying systems that lift bulk and granular materials vertically in a safe, steady and efficient way. They help to maintain an uninterrupted material flow, particularly in production and processing plants where material must be transferred to higher levels.

KRIOS Engineering offers project-specific bucket elevator solutions for different capacity requirements and plant conditions. A robust casing, an efficient conveying mechanism and design options that make maintenance easier are combined for a long service life.

Working Principle

Bucket elevators operate through the continuous movement of buckets mounted on a carrier system. Material taken in at the lower feed point is lifted vertically by the buckets and transferred to the relevant line from the upper discharge section.

This system makes it possible to achieve a high conveying capacity in a limited footprint and to transfer material within the plant in a steady manner.

Technical Specifications

  • Conveying capacity: 5–300 t/h
  • Casing material: Galvanised, carbon steel or stainless steel
  • Bucket options: Plastic, metal or special alloy
  • Drive system: Geared motor system
  • Engineering: Plant-specific 3D drawings and technical design support
