AWE Bucket Elevator
AWE Bucket Elevators are used to elevate bulk materials vertically. A Bucket Elevator consists of a series of buckets attached to a belt or chain with pulleys or sprockets located at the top and bottom of the unit. The buckets are encased to protect and contain the material being elevated. The bulk material is loaded into each bucket as it passes an inlet point. AWE Bucket Elevators can easily handle capacity requirements of up to 1000T per hour.
AWE offers you “built to last” strong, practical, efficient and economical systems to handle and elevate your chosen materials. An important part of big or small systems, bucket elevators are a often a key component of bulk material handling operations. AWE elevators are suitable for a wide variety of dry and free flowing materials and can be tailored to provide smooth, gentle, efficient handling of your specific product base.
Bucket Elevator specifications can be altered to suit your needs in terms of size, capacity, boot, trunk type and cup types, among others. The elevators can also be tailored for specialty operations requiring high temperatures or food grade applications. Whether fast or slow paced, large or small capacity, AWE can provide a vertical elevation solution to suit your operation.
