Horizontal and vertical bulk transport for the Industrial sector
At Apollo, we recognize the crucial role of efficient and reliable material handling in industrial operations. Our bucket elevators are designed to meet the rigorous demands of various industries, ensuring seamless and safe transportation of bulk materials.
Well suited for the transport of a broad range of industrial products such as:
- Wood pellets
- Plastic/metal recycling
- Catalysators
- Silica
- Carbon black
- And many more
The pendulum bucket elevator is used for very gentle vertical conveying of all kinds of granular products. This conveyor has the benefit of combining both horizontal and vertical transport in one machine. Adding the very gentle way of transporting, the pendulum bucket elevator is the perfect conveyor for sensitive, corrosive and abrasive products . Our Bucket conveyors come in 4 different bucket sizes and using different speeds, there’s a wide range of hourly capacities that can go up to 60 m3/h.
Low wear
Due to the absence of any friction forces, pendulum bucket elevators are ideal for abrasive products. The bucket elevator boasts a long maintenance interval even with abrasive materials.
Corrosive handling
Apollo’s bucket elevators are used on a wide range of applications including handling highly abrasive and corrosive products. Our buckets are available in different materials ensuring optimal chemical compatibility.
Dust control
Due to the nature of the pendulum bucket elevator where horizontal transport is combined with vertical transport, dust levels are low because there is no open discharge points from one conveyor into another. The elevator itself is air-tight and an under pressure can be maintained in the elevator ensuring that no dust is exposed to the environment.
The bucket elevator is designed for extreme dust levels even when the product is highly abrasive. Through optimally positioned suction points, dust tight bearings and anti-static buckets pollution levels remain very low which contributes to machine reliability and low maintenance.
The bucket elevator is available with many different options & customizations for the industry:
- Coating types: Stainless steel configuration for wet and washdown environments.
- Bucket types: Stainless steel buckets.
- Dust tight enclosures: The body of the Bucket Elevator can be dust tight sealed to withstand various influences.
- Dust collection vacuum ports: Easy to clean dust drawers are a machine option.
- Air cleaning station: As a cleaning option, we can implement an automatic CIP system with air or water.
