Super capacity elevators are continuous style elevators that are designed to move larger capacities compared to our standard continuous model. Along with the increased rate these elevators are made with heavy duty components including the buckets, chain, bearings, & housing.

Our mill duty product line is based on a centrifugal style design. Due to the rough industrial environments that these elevators are used in our design offers heavy duty construction including buckets, belt, chain, bearings, & casing.

Highspeed grain elevators are a type of centrifugal elevator. This model operates at even higher speeds than the standard centrifugal line.

Centrifugal elevators operate at high speeds & use centrifugal motion to “throw” material out of the buckets as they come around the head pulley or sprocket.

Continuous elevators primarily differentiate themselves from centrifugal elevators in two ways. They have a unique bucket geometry and they operate a lower speeds using gravity to discharge the buckets.

Learn more about general bucket elevator options and features including platforms, split sprockets, take-ups, belt splicing kits and more.

In this Bucket Elevator Product Line series we will take an in-depth look at all of our standard models as well as the various options we can incorporate into our elevator product line.
