Chain bucket elevator price

Friday December-19 2025  15:26:53

Chain bucket elevator price generally ranges from $350 to $7600. This wide price range is mainly related to materials, model, height, manufacturing process, customization, and level of automation. Smaller, low-volume bucket elevators cost between $350 and $2000, while large, high-volume, or customized machines typically start at over $2000. This is because the manufacturing process for large machines is complex, costly, and time-consuming.

How does the model affect the price of a chain bucket elevator?

Different models of chain bucket elevators have different prices. There are two types available: vertical and Z-type. Their conveying height, application scenarios, and conveying capacity differ, which determines the price difference.

Vertical Chain Bucket Elevator: Priced between $350 and $5600, it uses a straight-up-down vertical conveying method to lift materials vertically from a low point to a high point, with a lifting height of up to 50 meters and a conveying capacity of up to 500 cubic meters per hour. It can be used for powders, granules, and abrasive small lumps.

Z-type Chain Bucket Elevator: Priced between $600 and $6900, it uses a horizontal-vertical-horizontal combined conveying method. It is often used in more complex production lines or workshops, allowing for multi-point feeding or multi-point discharging, connecting to different equipment, and supplying materials to multiple silos or production lines. The lifting height can reach 30 meters, and the horizontal length can be customized according to requirements. The conveying capacity is 5-100 m³ per hour.

How does the material affect the price of a chain bucket elevator?

The Chain bucket elevator price varies depending on the material used for its body. Different materials have different levels of corrosion resistance, acid and alkali resistance, wear resistance, and high-temperature resistance, and can transport different materials. Generally, stainless steel chain bucket elevators are more expensive. 304 or 316L stainless steel is the preferred material for industries with strict hygiene requirements, such as food, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals. It uses internal and external polishing processes, resulting in a smooth surface that is easy to clean, corrosion-resistant, and high-temperature resistant. It leaves no residue on transported materials, eliminating the risk of cross-contamination, and can be used even in humid environments. Carbon steel chain bucket elevators are relatively cheaper. While they are low-cost, they can only transport a limited range of materials, making them suitable for conveying powders and granules without special requirements. They offer good wear resistance and are a low-cost, durable machine.

How does customization affect the price of a chain bucket elevator?

The Chain bucket elevator price fluctuates depending on the customization. When the standard model cannot meet the needs, additional functions need to be added, or the machine size needs to be customized to fit the site conditions. This will increase the cost. For example, for machines used in frequently changing locations, adding casters to the bottom can facilitate flexible movement, increasing the price by $50-$200. For machines used in high-dust environments requiring dust collection and purification, a dust collector can be added, increasing the price by $200-$600. Replacing a standard motor with an explosion-proof motor can also increase the price by $50-$150.

The Chain bucket elevator price is affected by many factors. A comprehensive consideration of the material, lifting height, lifting capacity, site conditions, and budget is necessary to select a machine with the best cost-performance ratio. Chain bucket elevators have lifting heights of 3-50 meters and conveying capacities of 5-500 cubic meters per hour. Materials include carbon steel and stainless steel; hopper capacities range from 1L to 6L. Customization services include inlet size, outlet position, machine body and hopper materials, and additional functions.
