Bucket elevators for bulk material handling
Efficiently transport and discharge granular and powdered materials with precision, minimizing residue and wear, while ensuring safety and maintaining high-speed operations.
Conveys and Discharges Bulk Materials Efficiently
Ottevanger Milling Engineers presents the robust Bucket Elevator, engineered for efficient bulk material handling across the grain, food, and agricultural sectors. This equipment excels in conveying and discharging both granular materials and powders such as wheat flour, soybean meal, and fish pellets. The bucket elevator operates with belt speeds of 1.8 m/s for gentle handling and 2.6 m/s for maximum capacity, handling up to 400 m³/h. Its design includes S235 steel legs, a fully enclosed structure, and wear-resistant kryptane plates, ensuring durability. The geared drive units and flexible coupling enable seamless integration into existing production lines. Available options include AISI304 and galvanized S235 steel executions, offering superior corrosion resistance. The elevator is suitable for environments requiring ATEX22 zoned equipment, and its maintenance-friendly features like service hatches and a residue-free booth ensure efficient operation. Customization options are available to cater to specific production requirements.
