Bucket Elevators
MechTek engineers are experienced in providing vertical bulk handling elevators mounted on chain and conveyor belts. For many companies the requirement is to provide refurbished bucket elevators as replacement of dilapidated plant.
- Bucket Elevators - MechTek will survey, design and manufacture your bucket elevator requirements and provide all motors, guards, specifications and accessories. Including belts, pulleys, buckets, shafts, wearplates, bearings, gearboxes and inlets where required.
- Bucket Elevator options - Relevant to the product being handled, MechTek will ensure all bucket, chain and belt options are matched to your requirements. From twin and triple row bucket systems to drop forged and steel roller chain.
- Access Platforms - Access platforms and support structures will also be provided and installed if required to support the bucket elevator system and provide maintenance access.
The specifications for your Bucket Elevator system will depend on the size of elevation, weight of product, type of environment and spatial requirements of the site. Systems can be manufactured in mild or stainless steel and can be fully galvanised where specified. MechTek will ensure through experience that the right type of specifications and belt speeds apply for your company's own unique requirements.
Bucket Elevators can be provided as a whole turnkey project or as a partial refurbishment of an existing system. All bucket elevators are fully tested and commissioned following installation.
