Asmatek Industries’ Bucket Elevator Belts are designed for vertical bulk-material conveying applications where reliable belt strength, controlled elongation and secure bucket attachment are essential.
Bucket elevators use buckets attached to a continuously moving belt to lift materials vertically. The belt therefore serves as a critical load-bearing component of the complete conveying system and must be selected according to elevator height, capacity, material characteristics, belt speed and operating conditions.
The belts are available with different tensile-member constructions, including Cotton, Nylon, EP, Kevlar and Steel Cord. A wide range of belt widths from 100 mm to 2500 mm and tensile strengths from 315 N/mm to 6300 N/mm are specified in the supplied product information.
Features such as low elongation, high bolt-tear resistance, strong fastener holding and suitability for small pulley diameters support different bucket elevator configurations. Cover compounds can also be selected for specific requirements, including heat-resistant, fire-resistant, oil-resistant and white food-grade constructions.
