ELEVATOR SYSTEM
This document provides detailed specifications and technical descriptions for the Elevator System
utilized throughout the Monocalcium Phosphate (MCP) and Dicalcium Phosphate (DCP) production
processes. These Elevators are designed for the efficient and reliable handling of materials from
raw inputs through final product packaging.
BUCKET ELEVATOR SYSTEM
Bucket elevators lift materials vertically using a continuous series of buckets attached to belts or
chains. Used for vertical transport of bulk materials from ground level to higher processing or
storage levels, such as silos or dryers.
ADVANTAGES
·Versatile in handling various bulk materials
·Energy-efficient operation with adjustable speed control
·Customizable size and capacity for different plant layouts
·Durable materials suitable for abrasive and corrosive substances
·Compatible with automated control systems

CENTRIFUGAL ELEVATORS
Centrifugal bucket elevators are preferred when there’s a requirement to transport large volumes
of material efficiently. While this type of elevator can cause some degradation of the material, it is
well-suited for tough and abrasive substances such as sand, gravel, woodchips, and other bulk
materials that aren’t fragile. Instead of being directly fed, the buckets scoop the material from the
base or intake area, making it essential to use strong, wear-resistant buckets. At the discharge point,
the rotation generates centrifugal force that propels the contents from the buckets into the output
chute. This design improves bucket filling and minimizes collisions between buckets during
operation.
CONTINUOUS ELEVATORS
Continuous bucket elevators are mainly utilized when materials require gentle handling. These
elevators operate at low speeds and use direct feeding methods, which help prevent the tossing or
scattering effect typical of centrifugal designs. This makes them especially suitable for handling
delicate, lightweight, or easily aerated materials where preserving product integrity is critical.

BUCKETS AND BELTING
Polyethylene buckets are non-vented unless specified. Optional #3 vented buckets are available.
Steel, stainless steel, urethane, nylon, or digger buckets are also available. PVC belting is standard
with SOR (Superior Oil Resistance) rubber coated belting optional. Specialty belts can be provided.
SAFETY DEVICES
explosion vented trunking, boot shaft speed monitors and belt alignment detection devices are
often required. These can be supplied with the Chief bucket elevator. The speed monitor is
attached using the pre-drilled and tapped hole in the end of the boot shaft. Belt alignment
detectors are the rub bar type. Four are mounted in the head and boot, two on each side to
monitor the up leg and down leg side of the belt. Readouts and alarms are typically supplied
