Bucket Elevator

Bucket Elevators

Bucket elevators provide reliable vertical conveying of a wide range of bulk materials with high capacity and compact design. They are used in seed processing, grain handling, feed production, food applications and industrial bulk material processes.

Efficient and gentle vertical conveying

Depending on the product and process requirements, we supply individually configured elevators – from cost-efficient standard solutions to particularly gentle designs for sensitive products.

Especially in seed processing, bucket elevators are configured for gentle and residue-free product handling to minimize mechanical stress, broken kernels and cross-contamination.
