BUCKET ELEVATORS
For the efficient movement of free-flowing, bulk materials like grains, animal feed, sand, and more, our centrifugal bucket elevators stand out. Made from high-quality stainless steel, they’re designed to swiftly elevate materials. Operating at high speeds, the centrifugal force precisely throws the materials from the buckets into the discharge elevators.
When gentle handling is most important, especially for fragile materials, our continuous bucket elevators are the top choice. Ideal for light, fluffy materials where aeration must be minimized, they operate at slower speeds with continuous bucket placement. This design utilizes the force of gravity for discharge, allowing materials to flow smoothly onto the inverted front of the following bucket. The buckets then guide the material seamlessly into the discharge throat.
To ensure ease of access and maintenance, both types of elevators are built with stainless steel access and inspection doors. At Orthman, we understand that every bulk material handling situation is unique. Therefore, we offer a wide range of elevator designs to meet your specific requirements. Selection depends largely on the capacity needed and the characteristics of the material in question.
