This week’s photo showcases a FEECO bucket elevator (enclosed).

Bucket elevators are used to transfer materials vertically, and are available in various configurations, whether you’re in need of centrifugal belt style, continuous double chain style, or anything in between.

Versatile and able to handle a variety of different types of materials, whether heavy, light, abrasive, or free-fowing, bucket elevators are ideal for minimizing product damage during handling of fragile materials.

Though they are used in a variety of industries, bucket elevators are most commonly seen handling bulk materials such as fertilizers, minerals, and aggregates.

FEECO has been engineering custom bucket elevators and bulk material handling systems for more than six decades. Our material handling equipment is built to stay strong in even the toughest handling situations. For more information on bucket elevators or bulk material handling equipment, contact us today!
