FEECO offers a selection of bucket styles for both centrifugal and continuous bucket elevators, to accommodate the demands of varying materials.

We offer two centrifugal bucket styles: style AA and style AC. Both options feature a reinforced lip around the leading edge to avoid distortion while scooping abrasive or heavily packed materials. Both styles can also be configured side by side or staggered to increase handling capabilities.

FEECO offers three continuous bucket styles: medium-front, high-front, and super-capacity. These bucket styles are designed to ease material degradation during the handling process. Buckets act as part of the discharge chute to deliver a smooth, continuous discharge. All continuous bucket styles are available for both belt and chain type elevators. Optional vent/drain holes are also offered.
