Pendulum Bucket Conveyors

The development of the Nerak multi-tip system "PB" range offers smooth, silent running of the bucket elevator. Advantages include the patented flexible overlap system of the feed points thus providing:

• Gliding movement of the bucket belt over support rollers on the horizontal sections
• No jamming of the individual buckets when feeding
• Quiet return of the buckets after tipping
• High throughputs are achieved with low power consumption

The product is fed into the moving bucket belt at a controlled rate, conveyed to high level and discharged by the action of pneumatic cylinder with electro-mechanical control at any one of a number of discharge positions. The highly developed drive system using our unique "rubber chain" is ideal for the gentle handling of delicate products preventing degradation and the conveying of abrasive substances such as soap powder, salt and construction industry materials as no lubrication is required.

NERAK pendulum bucket elevators are available in various designs in mild steel painted or stainless steel and feature:

• Totally enclosed robust construction with standard and special profiles to suit heavy duty applications.
• Open construction with safety panels in solid or mesh materials. These allow internal visibility and access for easy cleaning with steam or special fluids.
• Special designs for the food industry are available which are ideal for conveyors involved in packaging and weighing products.
• Pendulum elevator structures are designed to enable ease of installation and access.
