Bucket Elevator Belt

A bucket elevator belt does a different job from a normal conveyor belt. It runs vertically, carries the full weight of the buckets and material, and has bolt holes punched through it for every bucket. So it needs a carcass that stays strong around those holes and does not stretch much over time.

HILFLEX® makes bucket elevator belts at our Jalandhar unit for cement, fertilizer, mining and agro plants that lift granular or powdered material to silos and bins.

At a glance

Where bucket elevator belts are used

• Cement plants: raw meal, clinker and cement to silos
• Fertilizer plants: urea, DAP and blended products
• Mining and minerals: fine ore and powders
• Agro and grain: grains, seeds and feed

What matters in an elevator belt

• Low stretch, so buckets stay aligned and the take-up does not run out
• Good bolt holding strength around the bucket fixing holes
• A cover grade that suits the material temperature and oil content

Details we need

Elevator height (centre to centre), capacity, bucket size and spacing, belt width, material handled and its temperature, and pulley diameters.
