Starco™ Steel
Agricultural Elevator Bucket
         
 

Starco™ steel elevator buckets are engineered for higher throughput elevator legs. Their shallow design, tapered sides and low back height ensure maximum bucket fill at high speeds on smaller pulley diameters. The unique front profile guarantees clean discharge over a wider range of operation speeds than conventional or other low profile buckets.

  How long of an elevator bolt do I need?  
  When installing buckets on an elevator belt, use this simple formula:  
  (belt thickness + bucket back thickness + washer thickness + nut thickness + 1/4 inch)  
     
  What is a "digger" bucket?  
  Some materials can form a hardened crust along the side wall of the elevator boot, and powders sitting over time  
  can become rock hard. Both of these issues can cause premature elevator bucket wear. Digger buckets are  
  designed to have slightly more width and projection than standard buckets, thereby "digging" through or breaking  
  apart the hardened material, helping to prevent added wear to the standard buckets. Digger buckets are  
  traditionally made from steel, however nylon buckets may also be used depending on the application.  
     
  How many digger buckets do I need?  
  For most applications, use one digger bucket for every nine standard buckets.  
     
  Can I use buckets on an overlap splice?  
  An overlap splice doubles the thickness of the belt, so a bucket's projection will increase on the overlap.  
  Usually this will not cause a problem, but if it does, you can use buckets with one inch less projection or cut  
  the tip of each bucket by half an inch on the spliced area.  
     
  When using an overlap splice, how much extra belt should I use for the splice?  
  The length of the splice should be three times the width of the belt.  
     
  How often should I replace head pulley lagging?  
  Lagging should be replaced every time the elevator belt is replaced.
