BUCKET ELEVATOR SYSTEMS BY THOMAS CONVEYOR
WIDE VARIETY OF BUCKET ELEVATOR SYSTEMS
Thomas Conveyor offers a diverse selection of industrial duty and “mill” duty bucket elevator systems, ranging from high-speed centrifugal belt elevators to super-capacity double-strand-chain continuous discharge elevators.
TWO TYPES OF BUCKET ELEVATOR SYSTEMS
Centrifugal Bucket Elevator Systems
Centrifugal elevators rely on centrifugal force to “throw” the product from the buckets. These elevators are typically used for elevating relatively dry, free-flowing materials with small-to-medium-sized lumps. The product can be mildly, moderately, or severely abrasive. Thomas Conveyor manufactures a wide variety of centrifugal bucket elevators, available in belt and chain configurations, including:
- Industrial Centrifugal Elevator
- High Speed Grain
- Mill Duty
- Double Row Mill Duty
Continuous Bucket Elevator Systems
Unlike centrifugal elevators, continuous elevators run at much lower speeds, allowing the product to escape the buckets. The product is discharged by sliding off the back side of the preceding bucket. These bucket elevator systems are typically used for elevating dry, free-flowing, or sluggish materials with medium-to-large-sized lumps. The following continuous bucket elevators are offered in both chain and belt type versions:
- Industrial Grade Continuous Elevator
- Super Capacity
