What is a grain bucket elevator?
Grain bucket elevators for sale range in price from $400 to $6,800. They are used to gently lift various types of bulk grains, such as corn, wheat, soybeans, rice, seeds, and feed. Using a belt or chain to drive a hopper, they lift the grain vertically from one location to another, achieving different levels of conveyance. Grain bucket elevators include plate chain, chain, and belt types. They are available in carbon steel or stainless steel, depending on the grain's particle size, moisture content, and hygienic requirements. They offer lifting heights up to 50 meters and a lifting capacity of up to 100 cubic meters per hour.
What types of grain bucket elevators are available for sale?
Grain bucket elevator for sale is made of carbon steel and stainless steel according to the properties of the grain being lifted. It is available in three types: plate chain, ring chain and belt according to the different traction devices. Different models are used for different materials.
Grain bucket elevators for sale are available in two materials: carbon steel and 304 stainless steel. Carbon steel is relatively inexpensive and suitable for conveying powders and granular grains where hygiene requirements are less stringent. 304 stainless steel, on the other hand, is more expensive. It is corrosion-resistant, wear-resistant, and hygienic, making it commonly used in the food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries, particularly for grain transportation where hygiene requirements are stringent. Therefore, the price of 304 stainless steel is $500 to $1,000 higher than that of carbon steel.
Grain bucket elevators for sale come in three types, depending on their internal components belt, plate chain, and ring chain. The belt type is the least expensive, starting at approximately $400. It uses a rubber belt as a traction element, which is wear-resistant, fast, and energy-efficient. It can lift materials up to 120°C (120°F) and is commonly used for loose materials such as wheat, rice, and corn. It is not suitable for materials that are damp, sticky, or have large grains, such as wet corn or agglomerated feed, as these materials can easily cause the belt to slip or wear. Plate chain grain bucket elevators use a plate chain as a traction mechanism and can lift damp, sticky, medium-to-large grains, such as wet corn, soybeans, rice, and processed corn grits. They can withstand temperatures up to 300°C (300°F) and can also be used to lift dried grain. They have the highest lifting capacity, but are more expensive, starting at approximately $1,000. Chain-type grain elevators use chain as a traction member and are moderately priced, starting at $600. They can be used to lift dry, loose, small-piece grains such as wheat, corn, soybeans, and processed grains, but are not suitable for sticky grains.

What are the applications of t​he grain bucket elevator for sale?
Grain bucket elevators for sale are ideal for lifting powdered and granular grains such as corn, soybeans, flour, and wheat. 304 stainless steel is clean, rust-resistant, easy to clean, and safe from contamination, meeting food hygiene requirements. For materials with less stringent hygiene requirements, such as in-shell peanuts and cottonseed, carbon steel can be used, offering high durability and affordability. Furthermore, we offer four hopper types: Q-type (shallow hopper), H-type (curved bottom hopper), ZD-type (medium-deep hopper), and SD-type (deep hopper), depending on the material being lifted.
| Application Scenario | Material Lifting | Equipment Type | Lifting Height | Lifting Capacity |
| Port Grain Transshipment Storage for a Grain Storage Company in Vietnam | Wheat, Corn | Belt Bucket Elevator | 20 meters | 300 cubic meters/hour |
| Feed raw material storage and processing at a feed mill in Southeast Asia | Crushed corn, soybean meal | Chain bucket elevator (TDTG50/28) | 15 meters | 50-60 tons/hour |
| Bulk grain loading and unloading at a grain and oil terminal in China | Rice, corn | Chain bucket elevator (TDTG100X48X3) | 48 meters | 800 tons/hour |
Grain bucket elevators for sale can be customized based on material properties (particle size, moisture, abrasiveness, temperature), throughput (tons/hour), lifting height (1-50 meters), material, and process requirements (explosion-proof, multi-point loading and unloading). Customization is available for the material being lifted, the product, and the application scenario. Both open and closed versions are available.
