BUCKET ELEVATORS
Facet Engineering have been designing and manufacturing Bucket Elevators since 1989. Our Bucket Elevators are a reliable and cost-effective means of conveying or lifting product vertically and work well with most free-flowing products such as grains and fertilizer, and successfully used in the mineral and mining industries.
The bucket elevator comprises of a boot section with belt tensioner and inlet chute, connecting legs and head section with the discharge outlet. Contained within this enclosure is a belt running over pulleys, top and bottom, onto which a series of buckets are attached by special bolts.
Bucket elevators, by their nature, run at relatively high speeds and work on the principal of a centrifugal discharge of product out of the top outlet chute. This centrifugal discharge of product takes the path of a parabolic trajectory path. The Facet Engineering Bucket Elevator has been designed to take advantage of this phenomenon with its parabolic-shaped head section, along with similar shaped buckets; all making for a highly efficient system.

Our elevator can be supplied with bucket options including:
- HDPE plastic
- Nylon
- Pressed steel
- Stainless steel; and
- Fabricated steel
to suit the product application. In addition, various drive arrangement options are available.
