BUCKET SELECTION
Material-aware conveying
Bucket volume, fill level, and speed collectively determine capacity.

ENGINEERING, VISIBLE IN THE DETAILS.
Vertical conveying for powder and granulated materials. Bucket design, drive, and housing arrangement are evaluated according to the material's properties.
Explore up closeEvery component—from bucket geometry to the drive system, and from the infeed zone to the discharge point—is part of the vertical conveying system. The MKE series is selected based on material and height requirements.

Bucket volume, fill level, and speed collectively determine capacity.
FROM MATERIAL TO PRODUCT
Material is fed into the bottom inlet of the elevator.
Buckets transport the material to the designated height.
Material is transferred from the top outlet to the next process step.
Consider capacity, structure, and dimensions together.
Your material determines the right choice.
