4B HIGH EFFICIENCY™ Elevator Buckets

At 4B, our basis has always been engineering and our expertise in providing comprehensive solutions. In keeping with these core values, we designed our family of High Efficiency elevator buckets to deliver the maximum possible elevator leg throughput for the lowest cost per ton or bushel. Every bucket in every line of the High Efficiency family has five distinct features, each of which conveys efficiency. Only 4B High Efficiency elevator buckets have all five features.

MODERN HIGH EFFICIENCY DESIGN

TRADITIONAL DESIGN

1. SMOOTH FRONT FACE

A smooth interior face and side walls, with no “breaks”, deliver an efficient and unencumbered discharge over higher speeds.

Other designs have angled “breaks” which provide no benefit to discharge efficiency. These “breaks” merely copy a feature from the first sheet metal buckets introduced in the 1920's.

2. WING-LESS SIDE WALLS

Wing-less side walls maximize the most efficient use and cost of materials.

Other buckets have a wing or “ear” on both sides which adds cost and weight, while offering no functional benefit.

3. CLOSER SPACING

The ability to be mounted extremely close together provides the most efficient use of vertical space on the belt.

Other buckets are too deep to be mounted closely together or must be modified from their standard design, adding to the cost.

4. TAPERED BOTTOMS

Tapered bottoms allow the buckets to fill and discharge with maximum efficiency over higher speeds.

They also create a low digging factor which means less material resistance & degradation and fewer forces on the bucket system.

The vertical sides, wings and perpendicular bottoms of other buckets impede the flow of materials into and out of the bucket.

5. NESTING / STACKING

Nesting inside one another efficiently reduces the amount of space and costs associated with shipping and storage.

Nesting is not possible with other bucket designs. More packing materials and space are required for these buckets.

			The JUMBO CC-S® is an ultra heavy duty version of the CC-S heavy duty elevator bucket. It is intended for the most severe applications, including port terminals, ethanol plants and highly abrasive materials. It offers the greatest capacity and thickest front lip, corners and walls available. The unique Iceberg ® Edge front face delivers impact resistance and long life. The JUMBO CC-S is molded from virgin HDPE (nylon and urethane also available) for ultra heavy duty strength and durability. Low profile versions available. More Info


			CC-S® is a range of heavy-duty CC style elevator buckets designed to outperform other agricultural buckets by offering greater capacities, longer life, and cleaner discharges. Unique Iceberg® Edge design with stronger front lip and maximum material thickness. The complete CC-S® range of 35 different sizes are molded from premium virgin white HDPE (nylon and urethane available) for ultimate strength and durability. Low profile versions available. More Info


			Starco™ plastic (HDPE, Nylon, Urethane) 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. More Info


			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. More Info


			The deep low profile design of Super Starco™ plastic (HDPE, Nylon or Urethane) elevator buckets is the result of intensive research to achieve the maximum individual bucket capacity. Additional capacity has been engineered into the bucket while still maintaining the perfect fill and discharge characteristics of the original Starco™ bucket. More Info


			The deep low profile design of Super Starco™ steel and stainless steel elevator buckets is the result of intensive research to achieve the maximum individual bucket capacity. Additional capacity has been engineered into the bucket while still maintaining the perfect fill and discharge characteristics of the original Starco™ bucket. More Info


			Starco™ Jumbo (SJ) pressed steel elevator buckets are deep drawn, high capacity cups for use with both standard rubber and steel core web elevator belting. They are designed to replace large fabricated buckets on industrial elevators, particularly cement and sand. More Info


			GB Spidex™ is a pressed steel bottomless elevator bucket system that can double your existing elevator capacity and handle your troublesome materials. This unique bucket system lifts material in a continuous column, so the carrying space between conventional buckets is fully utilized by material to achieve much greater capacity. More Info
