Vertical grain conveying solution for animal feed and bulk materials

Efficiently transport and elevate various bulk materials with a modular vertical conveyor system, designed to ensure high levels of sanitation and safety, while minimizing wear and reducing installation time by up to 80%.

Transports and Elevates Grain and Bulk Materials

The Belt and Bucket Elevator LBEB from Bühler Group is an engineered solution for efficient vertical conveying in grain and bulk material applications. Its modular design allows you to configure the system to meet your specific requirements, making it flexible for various operations like food processing, animal feed production, and biorefineries. What sets this elevator apart is its focus on sanitation, featuring a round intake boot and shafts that prevent residue buildup, ensuring high hygienic standards. It integrates seamlessly into continuous and high-speed operations, making it ideal for processing wheat flour, wood pellets, and cocoa powder. With protective polyurethane-lined wear plates and advanced safety monitoring systems, the LBEB prevents machine damage and prolongs its lifecycle. The elevator is designed for easy installation with optional pre-stressed belts, reducing setup time by up to 80%, while its PLC-controlled operations enable efficient process integration. Available in durable material options, it offers long-term reliability and minimal maintenance, making it a robust choice for demanding industrial environments.
