Bucket Elevator Belt Conveyor

A bucket elevator, also called a grain leg, is a mechanism for hauling flowable bulk materials (most often grain or fertilizer) vertically. They are primarily utilized to vertically convey powder bulk solids, such as grains, sugar, sand, minerals, etc. This version works by digging into materials at the boot section and employing high-speed centrifugal force to project materials into discharge throats.The bucket conveyor comes in three basic types: centrifugal, continuous, and positive discharge conveyors (specialty and custom-made bucket conveyors also exist, but they will not be detailed for brevity's sake).
