This week’s photo shows a newly installed bucket elevator.

While FEECO has made its name in the agglomeration, thermal processing, and fertilizer granulation industries, little be known to some is that we, too, can provide the bulk material handling equipment needed to transport materials throughout processing.

Our bucket elevators are available in continuous and centrifugal styles, all designed around the unique characteristics of the material to be handled. Our standard elevator models include the following features:

    • Boot pulley take-up
    • A clean-out door opposite the hopper
    • An inspection section which provides easy access to the buckets and chain (or belt)
    • Chain and sprocket or belt and sheave drive assemblies
    • Slatted (wing type) pulleys to prevent material build-up

Various, complementary equipment is also available for use with your FEECO bucket elevator. Among the extra equipment most often ordered are:

      • Service platforms
      • Ladders and safety cages
      • Two-way discharge valves
