Achieving maximum  capacity for your bucket elevator

There is a demand for increasing the capacity of new and old bucket elevators particularly for handling grain. Factors that influence the capacity of an elevator are: bucket type, shape and discharge characteristics, optimum speed in relation to pulley size, shape of head and boot, material characteristics such as size, shape and density, angle of repose, coefficient of friction and terminal velocity. The most common cause for loss of capacity in an elevator is the bucket discharge, which can
