Bucket Elevator Specifications

 

  DMC Bucket Elevators are equipped with some of today's most innovative features for maximum efficiency, performance, and ease of operation. Highly corrosion resistant and standard with a powder coat finish for lasting durability and superior appearance, DMC Bucket Elevators will provide years of reliable operation for a variety of grain delivery requirements. (Also available in galvanized construction up to 40,000 BPH).  
             
 

head sectionHead Section
• Two piece hood for interior accessibility.
• Full radius contoured hood to minimize wear and improve material discharge flow.
• Pressure relief panels and large service doors are located on both sides of the hood.
• Heavy duty crowned face double disc drum pulley with SOFR (static conductive, oil resistant and fire retardant) lagging.
• Machined UHMW shaft seals.
• Weather tight internal lip seal between head housing and hood to eliminate moisture problems.
• Bearing plates with vertical jack bolts for final installation alignment.
• Fully adjustable throat plate.
• Hinged pulley lagging service doors on both sides of head housing.

 

roller bearings
Roller Bearings
Heavy-duty, double row, pillow block, roller bearings mounted externally. (Optional fully split bearing shown)

hinged service doors
Hinged Service Doors

  boot sectionBoot Section
The gravity take-up (the structure at the top of the boot) is optional and available on 42" and 48" elevators only.

• Externally mounted pillow block bearings.
• Belt tension take-up screws utilizing corrosion resistant acme threaded rod.
• Machined full length UHMW shaft seal at take-up plate bearing surface.
• One standard boot inlet provided (field installation required).
• Hinged boot inspection door on both sides.
• Heavy duty crown faced double disc drum pulley.
• Easy access cleanout doors on each end. Drop down design used on larger elevators.
• Removable panel at the top of the boot, between trunks, can be adapted to dust collection equipment.
• Standard boot construction of heavy gauge steel and bolted structural angle iron frame with vertical stiffeners.

  Bucket Elevator Options
 
 
  Trunking
• 14 Gauge (1.90 mm) steel huckbolt construction and heavy duty 10 gauge (3.41 mm) or 12 gauge (2.65 mm) steel with continuous butt weld seams to prevent corrosion from moisture and dust accumulation.
• Fixture welded, structural angle iron flanges are continuously welded on the outside and stitch welded on the inside.
• Maintenance friendly 10' (3048 mm) inspection section with 9' (2743.2 mm) long opening at both front and back. Front and back panels can be removed in 3' (914.4 mm) increments. Front removable panel with inspection door can be located in 6 different locations for ultimate flexibility.
• Durable non-conductive, SOFR (static conductive, oil resistant and fire retardant) rubber belting.
• Unique bolted across tie design provides rigidity, squareness to trunking and is independent of flange bolts. This design allows unassembled single trunking sections to be easily assembled into unitized sections complete with ladder and safety cage. Unitized sections can then be bolted together independent of cross ties thus minimizing erection time.
• Trunking can be furnished as factory assembled 10' (3048 mm) unitized sections for efficient field erection or knocked down for increased shipping capacity.
