Home Agricultural Belt & Bucket Elevators
We have a wide range of belt & bucket elevators available, whether you are looking for seed elevators, budget elevators, high capacity elevators we are sure to have an elevator to suit your needs.
Capacities of our agricultural belt & bucket elevators range from 11tph to 150tph based on wheat at 750kg/m³ and all models of our elevators are available in both single and double lift, and each one can be easily converted to be made suitable for seed handling. All of our elevators are manufactured in durable galvanised steel to increase life span, and each elevator model has a wide range of optional extras available, ensuring you get the elevator best suited to your requirements. As standard our elevators are fitted with slatted pullys to help reduce the build up of material on the pulleys and we use a low stretch rubber EP belt, with Nitrile belts available at a small extra cost. We offer Vee belt drives to shaft mounted gearboxes as standard, with an option of 90° gear unit drives also available. Our gearboxes arrive to you pre-filled with lubricant to enable a quick and easy installation.

Principle of Operation
Belt & Bucket Elevators vertically convey product in buckets which are attached to a belt that revolves around a top driven slatted pulley and a bottome free running slatted pulley.
The belt is contained inside two trunks (legs), one for the belt on its way up, one for the way down. Once the bucket reaches the top, gravity and/or centrifugal force act to throw product out of the buckets and through the outlet.
The action of the product leaving the bucket can be tailored to suit specific needs by reducing the belt speeds and changing the angles and distances of the outlets from the belt.
The versati;ity of belt & bucket elevators mean that the majority of free flowing and partially free flowing particles can be conveyed. Combined with simple design & construction, bucket elevator are the first choice for vertical conveying.
