Z and C Bucket Elevators

Bucket Elevators (also called Bucket Conveyors) are used to vertically convey bulk or loose materials efficiently. Bucket elevators can elevate a variety of bulk materials from light to heavy and from loose, flowing fine materials to larger, partially consolidated “lumps”. There are options for buckets that are gentle on high value consumer products such as cereals, pasta, confectionery, coins and the like. They are commonly designed in a “Z-Elevator” or “C-Elevator” configuration.

Australis Engineering are the exclusive Australian agents for US company, Gough-Econ who manufacture a range of different Bucket Elevators.

Bucket elevators are ideal for conveying a range of products including:

• Cereal and Grains
• Coffee and Tea
• Pasta
• Soft or pliable foods
• Chocolate and Confectionery
• Fruit and Vegetables
• Dry Pet Food
• Frozen Foods
• Sugar
• Salt
• Spices
• Pharmaceuticals
• Chemicals including Powders and similar
• Soaps and detergents
• Sand and Minerals
• Metal components
• Plastic components
• Coins
