Saving space with bucket elevators
Do you need to transport and process you products? But do you have limited space to actually be able to do this? You may have a certain set up already to fulfill this task, but you can for sure make smarter use of this limited space you have available to you. The big machines you are using may be fully unnecessary. Instead, it is possible to get smaller, more efficient conveyors that will allow you to process more products or give more space to your employers working at the site. This is possible by simply using the conveyor machines from Apollo, e.g. bucket elevators. apollobv is a family business that has been active ever since they started in 1847.

The Apollo bucket elevators
apollobv has been one of the leading manufacturers offering bucket elvevators. Maybe you know this type of conveyor by another name, as the bucket conveyor or the chain bucket elevator. Nonetheless, these names refer to the same machine. Apollo’s bucket elevator is both a bucket elevator as well as a conveyor. The machine combines the horizontal transport of products and the vertical transport of products. It also gives you several possibilities due to its various in- and outlets. There’s different models available so that you can find the conveyor that is most suitable for your business. There’s two main models: the C-model and the Z-model. There are also three different types that will allow for a different capacity. The standard bucket elevators are coated in the RAL colour of your own choice, however, it is also possible to apply other figurations such as stainless steel. The bucket elevators of Apollo have the following quantities:
- They have a low maintenance
- There are several in- and outlets possible
- There is no alternation of the product during the transport
- The machines have one drive
- The buckets are overlapping
How do the bucket elevators work?
As said before, it is possible to transport products in both vertical and horizontal directions with the bucket elevators. First, there is a horizontal part. Here, the buckets will be filled up with the products. Next, the bucket will be transported in the vertical direction after which it will continue in the horizontal direction again. This latter part has an area where the buckets filled with products can discharge the said products. The buckets will simply be turned upside down when they are being emptied. When this has been done, the buckets will be taken back to their original position and are ready to be filled up once again.
Generally, the bucket elevators are ideal for transporting bulk materials that have a broad range, but that also require gentle handling. This can be food, cosmetic products or pharmaceutical products. All the buckets are also made of FDA approved materials and it is possible to get TDA detectable buckets as well for your bucket elevators.
So, are you looking for a way to save more space in order to transport more products? Then bucket elevators may be ideal for you! Find the best bucket elevators at apollobv and better your business!
