For most bulk material elevating jobs…there's a Link-Belt® Bucket Elevator thatwill handle them efficiently andeconomically. With over 100 years ofproven experience as a pioneer andleading producer of bucket elevators,Syntron Material Handling offers astandardized line of Link-Belt® elevatorsproven in thousands of installations.

Standardization is a standout feature ofLink-Belt® Bucket Elevators. Link-Belt®Type 1 and Type 7 Bucket Elevatordesigns are standardized so you benefitfrom the economics of many stockedcomponents. Manufacturing methods arestandardized through exacting productionand fabrication to assure compatibility ofcomponents. Engineering andmanufacturing procedures have also beenstandardized so that the selected elevatorwill accommodate your needs.

Balanced design of components,manufacturing craftsmanship, and thequality found in all Link-Belt® products,have all helped the Link-Belt® BucketElevator achieve universal acceptance.

Two basic designs of bucket elevators areavailable, and selection depends primarilyon the material to be handled.

The Centrifugal Discharge design hasspaced buckets that travel at a relativelyhigh speed. It is a medium capacity unit,capable of handling materials with small-to-medium size lumps. The buckets digthe material from the casing boot sectionand discharge it by centrifugal force.

Type 1- Elevators of this type meet theservice requirements of the majority ofinstallations using centrifugal dischargeelevators. The head shafts are fixed, withthe foot shaft takeup being internalgravity type. Buckets are designed for useon either chain or belt.

For most applications, chain isrecommended, however, belting is usedwhen handling materials that must notbe contaminated or for materials that areextremely abrasive and corrosive.

As an alternate to the standard Type 1centrifugal discharge design, Type 2design is available. The head shaft isadjustable and the boot shaft fixed tomaintain the relationship of bucketsto the inlet spout and curved bottomplate. Type 2 bucket elevators arerecommended when handling foodproducts; for materials that tend topack or build-up, or when handlingmaterials having a large percentage of lumps.

The Continuous Discharge Design hasbuckets mounted continuously that travelat a much slower speed. The continuousdischarge design elevator handles avariety of materials from fines to largelumps. Materials that are difficult to pickin the casing boot section or friable arenormally handled in this type elevator.The buckets are fed directly from aloading leg or chute and are emptied bygravity at the discharge point.

Type 7-This elevator is the mostfrequently used of the continuousdischarge design. The head shafts arefixed, with foot shaft takeups beinginternal gravity type. Buckets are steeland spaced continuously on a strand ofchain.

As an alternate to the standard Type 7continuous discharge design, the Type8 design is available. The head shaft isadjustable and the foot shaft is fixed.Type 8 elevators are used for thehandling of fine or crushed materialswith lumps not exceeding 1/2 inch.With the addition of a loading leg anda correspondingly higher inlet spout,this type elevator can also be used forhandling lumps up to 41/2 ".

The superior performance delivered bythe Link-Belt® Bucket Elevator is theresult of quality components, and eachcomponent described in this catalog hasbeen developed as an integral part of acarefully engineered elevator design.Syntron Material Handling maintains alarge inventory of bucket elevatorcomponents to meet your replacementneeds.

CAUTION: Link-Belt® Bucket Elevatorsmust be installed, operated andmaintained in accordance with SyntronMaterial Handling Service Instructions.Failure to follow these instructions canresult in serious personal injury, propertydamage or both.

A centrifugal discharge bucket elevator-rugged construction with qualitycomponents-industry's leader in thehandling of free-flowing, fine and loosematerial with small to medium size lumps.

Bucket spacing and speed is important forcentrifugal discharge bucket elevators. TheLink-Belt® Type 1 Bucket Elevator can berelied upon to elevate and dischargematerials at rated capacities.

In selection of quality components, SyntronMaterial Handling engineers have, basedupon laboratory tests, taken intoconsideration the critical speed ofoperation that exists with bucket elevators.The critical speed of operation is the speedat which the actual capacity of the elevatordrops below the theoretical capacity, andexists when the centrifugal force at themass center of the material in the bucket isequal to the gravitational force on thematerial. All Link-Belt® centrifugal typedischarge bucket elevators operate belowthe critical speed.

Years of dependable, service-provenperformance with built-in quality designfeatures-your assurance of maximumefficiency:

• Properly spaced buckets, mounted ondurable, strong chain or tough wearresistant belt, to provide the mostefficient operation per dollar invested.Belt elevators with Link-Belt® wing-typepulleys are recommended when handlingbulk materials with abrasivecharacteristics, moderate temperatures orexcessive moisture content.

• Fixed head shaft with an internal gravityactuated takeup in the boot. Bearings onthe takeup frame are hard iron, with thetakeup shaft having induction hardenedjournals.

• Boot section is totally enclosed withlarge inspection doors to facilitatebearing replacement or the removal ofthe entire takeup frame.

High-capacity continuous dischargebucket elevator… with overlappingarrangement of buckets to handle avariety of materials from fines to largelumps. The Type 7 bucket elevator is themost frequently used of the continuousdischarge styles, with material loadeddirectly into the bucket through aloading leg, that confines the feed andprevents spillage into the boot.

The continuous discharge bucketelevator travels at a much slower speedthan its counterpart, the centrifugaldischarge bucket elevator. Standardoperating speed is 125 fpm. Whenhandling light or fluffy-type material,operating speeds of 160-175 fpm arecommon. When bulk material is abrasive,operating speeds are normally reducedfor longer component life.

Link-Belt® Elevator Buckets are designedin a variety of types and sizes toefficiently handle bulk materials incentrifugal discharge and continuousbucket elevators. Buckets are eitherconstructed of formed steel, cast, ormolded with nylon or polyethelene. Castbuckets are available in ductile iron,Promal, or ductile iron with Flint-Liphardened digging lips.

Ductile iron is the most commonly usedmaterial in cast buckets because of itsability to withstand the effects ofabrasion and stresses during digging.

Promal is a pearlitic malleable withhigher tensile and fatigue strength andyield point than ductile iron. Promal alsohas a greater resistance to abrasive wear.Ductile iron elevator buckets with Flint-Lip provide increased wear life whenhandling abrasive materials. Elevatorbuckets can also be furnished in mildsteel, abrasion-resistant steel, stainlesssteel and aluminum.

Type AA and MF can be supplied in eithernylon or polyethelene. CentrifugalDischarge Elevator Buckets are used forhandling granular, freeflowing materials

which can be readily scooped up anddischarged easily by centrifugal action asthe buckets pass over the elevator headwheel.

When higher capacities at lower speedsare desired, or when the material beinghandled is friable and fragile, ContinuousElevator Buckets are used. Material is feddirectly into the bucket and is dischargedover the elevator head wheel onto thepreceding bucket which acts as a chute,providing a clean, gentle discharge.

Type AA Centrufugal Discharge Elevator Buckets are made of ductileiron or Promal for mounting on chains or belts. They have a thick,wide reinforced lip along the front edge and front corners forresistance to distortion when scooping up heavy or gritty materials.For increased wear life when handling abrasive materials, buckets canbe furnished when hardened lips.

Type AAW Centrifugal Discharge Elevator Buckets are identical with Type AA buckets, except they are available in mild steel,abrasion-resistant steel or stainless steel.

Type AA Plastic Centrifugal Disch Elevator Buckets are identical totype AA except are available in ''Super Tuff" nylon or polyethelenefor food grade.

Type AA-RB Centrifugal Discharge Elevator Buckets are made ofductile iron or Promal and are identical with Type AA buckets,except the back edges are thicker to provide greater resistance todistortion. The wide digging lip and vertical reinforcing ribs on thefront enable these buckets to withstand rough service. For increasedwear life when handling abrasive materials, buckets can befurnished with hardened lips.

Type SC Centrifugal Discharge Elevator Buckets are made of ductileiron for mounting on chains or belts. They are suitable for handlingdry or relatively wet materials at greater capacities than Type AAbuckets. The buckets are smooth, seamless and uniformly cast toresist abrasive wear, corrosion and rust.

Type AC Centrifugal Discharge Elevator Buckets are made of ductileiron or Promal for mounting on chain. They have a thick, widereinforced lip along the front edge and front corners to increaseresistance to distortion. The high front increases capacity, andhooded backs permits closer bucket spacing. Air-pressure relief holesin the bottom of the buckets assure faster loading and unloading offree-flowing materials, such as cement. For increased wear life whenhandling abrasive materials, buckets can be furnished with hardenedlips.

Type ACS Centrifugal Discharge Elevator Buckets are made of mildsteel or aluminum for mounting on chain. Their high front and thesaddlebag or wraparound feature increases capacity, while thehooded backs permit closer bucket spacing. For increased wear lifewhen handling abrasive materials, buckets can be furnished withhardened lips.

Type HFO Continuous Elevator Buckets are made of welded steel formounting on chains or belts. They have the same high front as TypeHF buckets, but in addition, are overlapping to prevent leakagebetween buckets. Bevel washers are recommended to avoidinterference of adjacent buckets. The smooth interior allows thematerial to be easily and quickly discharged. Buckets are of formedand welded steel construction. The front plates are eitherintermittent or continuous welded to the back and side plates,depending on the fineness of the material being handled.
