CUSTOM INDUSTRIAL HANDLING SYSTEMS
Bucket elevators
Bucket elevators are used for vertical handling of granular and powdery products at high speeds and hourly flow rates. The elements that allow transportation are the injected resin buckets that, screwed to a PVC or rubber belt that rotates on rollers inside a closed carpentry, receive and contain the product until it is released into a discharge duct.
All this can only happen if, during the installation phase, a foundation plate embedded in the concrete of the flooring is provided that allows the conveyor itself to be anchored to the ground. Visible inspection doors, hoppers or connections for the pipes during loading, discharge hoods with pneumatic sorters and sensors to control rotation, swaying and reduced speed of the belt can be provided. If the product has a higher temperature than the ambient temperature, chains that will be activated by pinions are used instead of the belt and the buckets will be specifically built in stainless steel.

Advantages of bucket elevators
The adoption of conveyors brings a series of benefits, measurable both in terms of efficiency and savings on operating costs.
Reduction of manual handling
- Reduction of operator travel: Safe automation of transport reduces downtime and risks associated with manual handling.
- Continuous and controlled flow: electronic management of the belt eliminates most of the interruptions typical of manual systems.
Greater logistics efficiency
- Integration with existing automated systems: Conveyors can be easily connected to production lines, picking systems or sorting plants.
- Reduced operating costs: a linear and controlled work cycle significantly reduces downtime and ensures greater handling speed and efficiency.
