C-Type Bucket Elevator

Introduction

The C-Type Bucket Elevator, also known as the C-shape bucket conveyor, features pivot-mounted buckets that stay level throughout their travel. This gentle handling design is ideal for delicate, high-value materials—like seeds, grains, snacks, and fragile products—while minimizing breakage and spillage. Multiple inlets and outlets enhance layout flexibility in compact environments.
