The ADM‑Bucket Elevator is a vertical, continuous-lift conveying system designed to transport dry, free-flowing products upward between different processing or packaging levels. It uses a series of deep, evenly spaced moulded polymer or stainless-steel buckets, attached to a heavy-duty belt or chain, to scoop product from a low infeed point and gently discharge it at a higher elevation.

Each elevator is custom-built to suit your plant layout and product characteristics. The unit’s enclosed frame design helps contain dust, maintain hygiene, and protect the product from external contamination—making it ideal for food, snack, grain, and pet food environments.

Unlike pneumatic or vibratory conveying, the bucket elevator lifts product with minimal agitation or drop impact, reducing the risk of breakage in fragile items like cereal flakes, puffed snacks, or coated nuts.

The discharge point is engineered for smooth, controlled unloading into ADM multihead weighers, auger fillers, or vibratory conveyors, and can be designed with a single or multiple outlet configuration, depending on the line setup.

For cleaning and maintenance, access panels are included along the casing, and optional easy-disassembly features are available for allergen-sensitive or multi-product lines.
