Bucket Elevators

Koenig offer a variety of bucket elevator designs and sizes to handle materials ranging from dry dusty powders such as fly ash, to heavy materials such as iron ore pellets. Bucket elevators can be ordered in several configurations, including centrifugal belt, centrifugal chain, continuous belt, continuous single chain and continuous double chain.

​Features

• Removable top covers, Access doors for easy maintenance
• Horizontally and vertically heavy-reinforced, jig welded head, boot, and intermediate sections
• Adjustable throat plate at discharge
• Inspection doors on both sides of discharge
• Service platforms and access ladders available

​Centrifugal Bucket Elevators

Centrifugal bucket elevators are chosen when there is a need to move large amounts of material quickly. Instead of direct loading, buckets serve as the loading apparatus, scooping material up from the boot or inlet section. For this reason, durable buckets should be selected with this design. Centrifugal force at the head pulley “throws” material from the buckets into the discharge chute.

Centrifugal style elevators are ideal for materials like Raw Meal, Cement, sand, gravel, woodchips, and other free flowing bulk materials where fragility is not a concern.

​Continuous Bucket Elevators

Continuous bucket elevators are designed to handle friable, fragile materials to minimize product degradation or damage.

Material is fed into the buckets from an inlet chute. Buckets are closely spaced on the belt or chain to allow the material to flow over the backside of the preceding bucket, whose extended sides form a chute to guide the material into the discharge spout.

Applications

Bucket elevators can handle a variety of materials, and therefore are used in many different industries and applications, though generally, they are not suited for wet, sticky materials, or materials that are stringy or tend to mat or agglomerate.
