Heavy-duty vertical conveyor for aggregates and minerals

Achieve efficient vertical transport of heavy, abrasive materials like aggregates and minerals with unparalleled durability, ensuring your operation handles substantial volumes while minimizing wear and tear, even at lower operational speeds.

Elevates and Conveys Bulk Materials Vertically

The EHN-type Bucket Elevators from WAMGROUP are engineered for heavy-duty vertical elevation of materials such as aggregates and minerals. This equipment stands out due to its robust construction and low-speed operation, specifically designed to handle abrasive and bulk materials in continuous industrial applications. The EHN elevators use solidly mounted roller bearings to support the bucket conveyor system, consisting of abrasion-resistant mild steel buckets that adhere to DIN15234 standards. Ideal for industries like cement, lime, gypsum, and concrete processing, these elevators facilitate the efficient movement of materials up to a discharge height of 60 meters, with a throughput capacity of 310 m³/h. Each unit is hot-galvanized for durability and can be customized entirely in stainless steel upon request to enhance corrosion resistance. Incorporating a direct gear motor, the elevators offer automation features such as rotation and belt misalignment sensors, and are available in ATEX-compliant versions for explosive environments. With inspection hatches strategically placed, maintenance is streamlined, ensuring minimal downtime. WAMGROUP provides engineering support to tailor these elevators to specific production needs, allowing for integration into existing processes while maintaining energy efficiency.
