A well-designed troughed belt conveyor generally exhibits minimal material spillage. Unfortunately, spillage is an all-too-common problem for many plant managers dealing with troughed belt conveyors that weren’t adequately designed for their application. Fortunately, there are several ways to address troughed belt conveyor spillage. The following …
FEECO manufactures two bucket elevator designs: centrifugal and continuous. They are built to move bulk materials vertically, and offer their own distinct advantages to the bulk handling operation at hand. Continuous bucket elevators are used for less vigorous bulk material handling applications. The slow speed …
The objective shared by incline conveyors and steep incline conveyors – to convey bulk solids on an incline – often presents confusion in determining which type of conveyor is best for a given application. While both offer an effective handling solution, these two conveyor types …
As the driving power behind a troughed belt conveyor, the drive assembly is a critical component in a conveyorโs ability to perform reliably and efficiently in the long term. Also known as the drive arrangement, the drive assembly is what supplies the torque to create …

The term bulk solids processing encompasses an array of different types of materials, processing techniques, and objectives; soil amendments and fertilizers, minerals and ores, chemical compounds and more, all fall under the umbrella of bulk solids. And while the goals and equipment differ across operations, …
Bucket elevators provide an ideal means of vertically transporting material throughout a facility, minimizing the equipment footprint and providing reliable, continuous high-capacity bulk handling. Many questions arise when purchasing a bucket elevator, including what capacities and customizations are available, but often forgotten are the questions …
As one of the most cost-effective ways to transport material in and around a facility, belt conveyors are employed in every industry working with bulk solids. Their diverse handling capabilities combined with flexible design makes them an essential tool in nearly any setting. But conveyors …
Bulk material handling equipment such as bucket elevators and belt conveyors transports material in and around processing and shipping facilities, lending automation and flexibility to industrial operations of all types. While bulk material handling equipment design is relatively straightforward, a number of material- and facility-specific …
