A Bucket Conveyor, often referred to as a Bucket Elevator, is a clever material handling system that lifts bulk materials vertically. It does this by using a series of buckets that are attached to a rotating belt or chain. These buckets scoop up material from a lower level, carry it up, and then discharge it at a higher point. This system is perfect for moving free-flowing bulk solids like grains, powders, pellets, and granules.
