- Typical capacity
- For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 500 kg/hr to 5,000 kg/hr, depending on bucket size and speed.
- Power supply
- Units of this type typically operate on a 3-phase industrial power supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz in the UK.
- Construction material
- Mild steel, suitable for dry or low-moisture products and non-corrosive environments.
- Typical footprint
- The base footprint can vary, but typically requires a floor area of 1m x 1.5m for the drive and intake sections, with vertical height dependent on application.
- Throughput mechanism
- Commonly uses a series of buckets attached to a belt or chain for vertical conveyance.
- Maintenance requirements
- Regular inspection of buckets, belt/chain tension, motor, and gearbox lubrication is typically required.
