Bucket Elevators

Selecting an appropriate AGI bucket elevator to fit a particular application depends on many factors. Some considerations include:

• What type of environment will the equipment be operating in? Is it highly corrosive?
• What type of material will the equipment be handling?
• What capacity is required compared to the capacity of upstream and downstream equipment?
• What height and distance changes are required to move the product?
• What are the future expansion plans for the overall operation?
• What is the estimate daily usage for the equipment?
• What power supply will be available?

The correct AGI bucket elevator for your application can typically be selected from the list of standard AGI models. However, for many special applications, product designs may need to be developed or altered.
