The Sukup Bucket Elevator is engineered to provide efficient and reliable material handling. Its design incorporates features to minimize product damage, providing gentle handling of materials. The elevator design features a low-impact head design, allowing the product to slide gently along the contour of the hood, reducing the risk of damage.
The Sukup Bucket Elevator includes robust construction elements such as UHMW seals on all shafts, durable rubber belting, and heavy-gauge trunking. Additional features include the convenience of a large head service platform, a variety of liner options to best suit specific requirements, patented squaring plates and alignment pins for precise assembly, and the strength of welded head and boot frames. These features enhance durability and promote long-term performance. Additionally, the Sukup Bucket Elevator offers a range of optional features to enhance functionality and meet specific needs.
