HOW CAN BETTER COMPONENT DESIGN IMPROVE BUCKET ELEVATOR PERFORMANCE?

Bucket elevator operators often find themselves tied to a particular supplier and paying a premium for critical replacement parts like buckets, chains, belts and fixings. Sometimes, it can be impossible to find the right part at all. Supplier restrictions and component incompatibility cause unnecessary expense and impede progress. Lack of competition discourages design innovation and denies bucket elevator operators the opportunity to upgrade or improve equipment performance. This in turn limits opportunities to reduce energy consumption, drive down costs and improve sustainability during the equipment’s lifetime.

This whitepaper explains how BEUMER Group’s innovative approach to the redesign of critical components in chain and belt bucket elevators empowers operators with better technical choices. With the aid of case studies, it illustrates how better component design can:

• Lower CAPEX and OPEX
• Enhance performance and reliability
• Improve worker safety
• Deliver more sustainable operations
• Make businesses more agile
• Expand vendor choice

Read this whitepaper to find out how advancements in the design of chains, belts, buckets, and fixings are opening up new opportunities to reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO) and improve performance in industrial materials handling applications.
