Product Bucket Elevators
WUTRA bucket elevators are the traditional conveying systems used for the high-volume vertical transportation of bulk solids. They enable heights of up to 80 m to be achieved at a rate of as much as 800 m³/h. Belts or chains are used as traction elements, depending on the grain size and temperature of the material. The buckets are adapted to the material’s properties, such as its consistency. Optimal filling and emptying are ensured by the buckets’ geometry and production material as well as the operating speed. Modifications can be carried out to the conveyor line so that even sticky and moist products can be reliably transported.
