The B3 and C3 Series of Universal Bucket Elevators offer smooth elevation of most free flowing materials and provide various capacities to meet most requirements. For fragile materials or for materials weighing more than 60 pounds per bushel, units with slower belt speeds are recommended. All standard units are provided in carbon steel (blue enamel) construction and are shipped "broken down". These elevators are designed for quick, on-the-job assembly for any installation.

Models with an "easy dump" (ED) are designed to dump the product onto the rear side of the preceding bucket to slow the product before it builds up any speed in its fall. This will greatly reduce the amount of damage that can occur with commodities that require more gentle handling.

The C6 and D3 series Series of Universal Bucket Elevators effectively handle most bulk materials. They provide for higher volume without the damaging higher speeds often produced in other elevators. Equipped like the B3 and C3 models, these units are provided in carbon steel (blue enamel) construction and are shipped "broken down". As with the other models, the "easy dump" (ED) feature allows for more gentle handling and makes these units ideal for handling high volumes of seeds, grains and other commodities where a concern for damage is a factor. 

SELECTING THE PROPER MODEL

(These factors should be considered when choosing a bucket elevator)

1. CAPACITY DESIRED
2. TYPE OF MATERIAL (COMMODITY)
3. WEIGHT AND CHARACTERISTICS OF THE MATERIAL
4. TEMPERATURE OF MATERIAL BEING MOVED
5. GENTLENESS OF HANDLING REQUIRED
6. DISCHARGE HEIGHT AND OVERALL HEIGHT
