What is a Bucket Elevator used for in Mining?

In mining, a bucket elevator is a vertical conveyor that lifts bulk material like ore, coal, or crushed rock from one level to another using a series of buckets fixed to a belt or chain.

Typical duties include taking material from a pit, hopper, or crusher discharge and elevating it to screens, bins, silos, or the next stage of the processing plant, while containing dust and spillage and saving footprint compared with long inclined conveyors.

Durability and Reliability

All parts are designed for rugged mining environments, ensuring long-term reliability and reduced maintenance costs.

Custom Solutions

We offer tailor-made solutions to meet your specific mining application needs, from pulley size and material to custom configurations.

Key Components

Couplings

Couplings connect motors to gearboxes or other machinery, allowing for smooth torque transfer and absorbing misalignments or vibrations, reducing wear on system components.

Freewheels and Backstops

Backstops prevent reverse motion in inclined conveyors, ensuring safety and protecting the equipment from overloads or unexpected rollbacks, which are critical in mining applications.

Shrink Discs

Tight-fitting and high torque shrink discs, for clamping onto gearboxes attached to heavy machinery.
