High capacity vertical conveying for grains and cereals
Ensure efficient vertical transport of bulk materials like cereals and grain with robust bucket elevator technology, tailored for operations that demand ATEX compliance and high throughput.
Elevates and Conveys Grains and Cereal Products
The EC-Type Bucket Elevators from WAMGROUP specialize in the efficient vertical elevation of cereals and similar materials, catering to industries such as flour milling, rice milling, and animal feed production. Designed with compliance to the European Explosion Protection Directive (ATEX), they ensure safe operation in hazardous environments. This equipment utilizes a robust system of antistatic, oil-repellent, and self-extinguishing belts, with buckets crafted from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), providing superior conveying efficiency for up to 1,600 m³/h throughput and discharge heights reaching 44 meters. Integrating seamlessly into existing processes, these elevators boast features like hot-dip galvanization for longevity, direct gear motors for reliability, and sensors for rotation and belt misalignment. For enhanced customization, a version made entirely of stainless steel is available, ensuring corrosion resistance and adaptability to specific process needs.
