Feed bucket elevators are used for vertical feed conveying in feed processing. Prices range from $500 to $14,000. Below is a detailed explanation of feed bucket elevator prices based on model, material, height, and customization options:

What are the different types of Feed Bucket Elevator prices?

Feed bucket elevators mainly come in two types: vertical and Z-type. Their prices vary depending on the type of feed they convey and their application scenarios:

Vertical feed bucket elevators cost between $500 and $5,600. They utilize a linear vertical conveyor system, saving space. They are primarily used for powdered feed (such as cornmeal), pellets (such as extruded pellets), and small, lumpy materials (crushed materials). They feature a simple structure, low energy consumption, and a processing capacity of 1 to 100 tons/hour. Models include the TD series ($700-$4,000), the NE series plate chain ($800-$10,000), and the TH series ring chain ($1,000-$5,000).

The Z-type Feed Bucket Elevator costs between $2,500 and $7,000. Its unique horizontal-vertical-horizontal conveying path makes it ideal for feed processing applications with limited space or requiring multiple unloading points. It offers excellent sealing and a material breakage rate of less than 3%. It is commonly used for conveying mixed feeds (such as premixes) with a fines content of less than 25% and fragile pellets (such as pet food).

Type Model/Specifications Basic Price (RMB) Cost per Additional Meter Processing Capacity Applicable Feed Type Typical Application Scenarios
Vertical Bucket TD20×13 5,380-6,320 $50-$100 1-2 tons/hour Pellet feed, grain Small feed processing line

Z-Type Hopper Basic Model (Hopper ≤ 3L) 3,600-14,000 $75-$100 3-6m³/hour Fishmeal, Additive Premixes Premixing Plant Feeding
Mid-range Model (5-8L Hopper) 13,500-24,000 $90-$150 15-25m³/hour Extruded Feed, Pet Food Aquatic Feed Production Line
High-end Customized Model 24,000+ $150+ Up to 40 tons/hour Heat-sensitive Feed, Vitamin Additives Additive Section in Large Feed Mills

 

What factors influence the price of a feed bucket elevator?

Material Cost: The basic carbon steel model starts at $500. Stainless steel, due to its corrosion resistance (suitable for high-humidity feed environments), increases the price by $140–$210. Food-grade PP hoppers (for fragile feed) carry a premium of approximately 15%.

Lifting Height and Power: The lifting height can reach 60 meters. The price increases by $125–$170 for each additional meter of height (e.g., the TD30×13 model). Lengths exceeding 30 meters require custom reinforced chains and support structures, resulting in a 30% price increase.

Customized Products: Multi-point discharge valves: Each additional discharge port on a Z-type elevator increases the cost by $200–$500. Flammable dust environments (such as feed additive delivery) require explosion-proof configurations, increasing the price by 10%–20%.

The price of Feed Bucket Elevator needs to be considered from many aspects such as material properties, application scenarios, lifting height, lifting volume, etc. Our factory is a source manufacturer and can provide customized material, scenario, and product transportation solutions according to user needs.
