Continuous Type Bucket Elevator
Continuous bucket elevators
are recommended for large capacity heavy-duty service. The buckets
are steel, mounted continuously on single or double strands of chain,
or on a belt. The elevators can be either vertical or inclined.
As the buckets pass over the head wheel, the flanged front of the
preceding bucket acts as a chute to lower the material to the discharge
spout. This discharge method, plus the slower speed, minimizes breakage
of fragile materials. These elevators are not the self-digging type.
As a result, they require a loading leg and a deeper pit than other
elevator styles.

Super Capacity Continuous
Bucket Elevators handle the same materials as the
continuous bucket elevators in the larger capacities. They are used
for run-of-mine or sized coal, stone, ore and the like. The steel
buckets, mounted between strands of roller chain, operate slowly.
The construction of the bucket provides a greater capacity than
the standard continuous type, but with the same means of loading
and discharging. The elevators are built in both vertical and inclined
styles. The vertical model has steel guides and the inclined type
has tracks. Inclined types can be either open or enclosed.
