Bucket Elevator for Animal Feed Price is between $350-$20,000. They are used in the feed processing industry to transport and transfer raw materials, semi-finished products, and finished products. Depending on the type of animal feed being transported, different models are selected, resulting in variations in model, material, and features. So, how much does a Bucket Elevator for Animal Feed actually cost?
Material
The material cost of a Bucket Elevator for Animal Feed determines the basic construction of the machine. We offer carbon steel and stainless steel:
Carbon steel: An economical and preferred option, priced $100–$250 less than stainless steel. It is commonly used for general grain feed (such as chicken feed and cattle and sheep pellets).
Stainless steel: Corrosion-resistant and food-grade, it is suitable for aquatic feed or materials with high moisture content. However, the price increases by $500–$1500. For example, aquatic feed elevators typically cost over $2000 due to rust resistance requirements. Models
The size of the Bucket Elevator for Animal Feed determines the efficiency of feed processing. Output generally ranges from 5 to 500 cubic meters per hour. Each upgrade in size increases the price by $170–$340:
Small units (e.g., TD16): have a capacity of 4–6 tons/hour, a power of 0.5–0.75 kW, and a price of approximately $70–$300 (suitable for chicken feed).
Medium units (e.g., NE50): have a capacity of 50 tons/hour, a power of 7.5 kW, and a price of $250–$350 (suitable for centralized pig feed feeding).
Large units (e.g., TDTG60): have a capacity of 65 tons/hour, and a price of $1,400+ (suitable for large-scale feed mills). Function Customization and Configuration Upgrades
Function customization and configuration
For materials that cannot be conveyed by standard models, we offer customized products, such as point-to-point unloading, airtight, explosion-proof, and mobile models. Customized bucket elevators for animal feed are $500-$3,500 more expensive than standard models.
Z-shaped structures: Supporting multi-directional horizontal and vertical conveying, they are $500-$1,000 more expensive than traditional vertical models (commonly used in automated pig feed production lines, with unit prices ranging from approximately $500-$2,000).
Anti-blocking designs: Adding torque protectors and PLC control systems incurs a 30%-50% price premium. For example, aquatic feed equipment requires moisture sensors, which can cost over $2,800.
The price of a bucket elevator for animal feed also varies depending on the type of feed being conveyed. Below is the price range for different models of bucket elevators for common feeds.
Poultry feed (chicken/duck): Primarily powdered feed, a small belt bucket elevator (such as the 202 model) is suitable, priced between $70 and $200.
Pig feed: Pellets must be protected against breakage, so a Z-type elevator is recommended, priced between $500 and $2000 (with multi-point unloading).
Aquatic feed: Highly corrosive feed requires all-stainless steel construction, priced between $2000 and $2800+ (such as the TDTG series).
Ruminant feed (cattle/sheep): Large-capacity, lumpy feed is suitable for the NE series plate chain bucket elevator, priced between $250 and $350 (with a conveying capacity of 50 tons/hour).
The price of a bucket elevator for animal feed cannot be directly determined. When selecting the right animal feed bucket elevator, consider a comprehensive range of factors, including material properties, production requirements, lifting height, functional configuration, and whether customization is required.
