IAC - Bucket Elevators
From OEM Equipment & Engineered System - Bulk Material Transport & Storage
A typical bucket elevator consists of a series of buckets mounted on a chain or belt that operates overhead mounted on head and tail pulleys. The buckets are loaded by scooping up material from the boot (bottom) or by feeding material into the buckets. Material is discharged as the bucket passes over the head pulley. A steel casing usually encloses the entire assembly and effectively contains dust unless there are holes or openings in the casings. Dust emissions typically occur at the boot of the elevator where material is being fed into the elevator or at the head of the elevator where material is being discharged.

Product Details
Emissions at the boot of the elevator can be controlled by proper design of a transfer chute (similar to belt conveyors) between the feeding equipment and the elevator. Dust can be reduced significantly by keeping the height of material fall to a minimum and by gently loading material into the boot of the elevator.
Controlling dust emission at the discharge end of the bucket elevator can be accomplished by proper venting to a dust collector, as well as through the use of proper enclosures and chutes between the elevator discharge and the receiving equipment.
