Bucket elevators are systems used for vertically transporting various types of powdery, granular, and fragmented materials (such as cement, sand, soil, coal, soda, grains, flour, etc.). They offer significant advantages in terms of space efficiency, the ability to achieve considerable heights, and a wide range of capacities.
Depending on the characteristics of the material being transported, the feeding process can be carried out either from the bottom or directly through a feeding chute. Typically, materials with small particles and low resistance to scooping are fed from the bottom, while materials with larger particles, abrasiveness, and high resistance to scooping are directly fed into the bucket.
