Elecon bucket conveyor and elevator system

The multi-axis Elecon bucket conveyor and elevator system now comes with mid-size buckets with a capacity of 495 in.3 — more than twice the capacity of the original Elecon system. The conveyor has a patented chain and uses wedge-shaped, cantilevered buckets that come together and overlap at the loading or filling station. The patented rack-and-pinion system ensures full discharge with a 360-deg. bucket rotation and quick return to the upright position. The system can convey materials vertically, horizontally or in any direction up to 180-deg., which provides flexibility for process configurations without the need to transfer loads or modify the facility layout. Open construction allows for easier cleaning and maintenance, and enclosures are available when there is a need to maintain a controlled environment.
