Industrial bucket elevator prices typically range from $500 to $15,000. The model and configuration used vary depending on the material being conveyed and the application scenario. The price of an industrial bucket elevator increases by $100-$5,000 per additional meter. The specific price depends on various factors, including equipment type, material, lift height, and customization requirements. Below is an analysis of industrial bucket elevator prices:
Industrial bucket elevators are categorized by their traction mechanism into three types: belt, chain, and plate chain. Each type of industrial bucket elevator can handle different material applications and has varying prices.
Belt Industrial bucket elevator priceļ¼$500.00 - $4,800.00/Set. They are suitable for conveying lighter, less abrasive materials such as grain and coal. Material temperatures generally do not exceed 60°C (heat-resistant belts can reach 200°C). They offer a lifting capacity range of 1-100 tons per hour, but typically have lower lifting heights.
Chain Industrial bucket elevator price: $550.00 - $5,500.00/Set, priced in the middle, using high-quality alloy steel round link chain as the traction component. They are suitable for conveying powdered, granular, and small, bulk materials such as cement, fertilizer, and grain, and can withstand material temperatures up to 250°C. They offer a conveying capacity range of 2-200 tons per hour and a higher lifting height.
Plate chain Industrial bucket elevator price: $620.00 - $7,500.00/Set, the price is higher, using high-strength plate chain. They are suitable for conveying abrasive materials (such as limestone, cement clinker, and gypsum) and can withstand temperatures up to 250°C. They offer maximum conveying capacity (15-800 tons/hour) and a high lifting height (up to 60 meters), require low drive power, and have a long service life.
Material selection: The price of an industrial bucket elevator is influenced by the material used. Carbon steel is a standard and economical choice. Stainless steel (such as 304 and 316L) offers excellent corrosion and high-temperature resistance, making it more suitable for industries such as food and pharmaceuticals. However, their price is significantly higher than carbon steel, often 2 to 4 times the price of carbon steel or even higher.
Lifting Height: The price of an industrial bucket elevator is directly proportional to the lift height. Typically, there's a base price for a base height (e.g., 4 meters). Each additional meter of height incurs a certain fee (for example, a chain-type elevator costs approximately $180-350 per meter). Increased lift height requires more materials, such as traction components and the housing, and also requires a corresponding increase in drive power.
Customization Requirements: Standard models have relatively transparent pricing. Any non-standard customization requirements, such as special inlet and outlet locations, explosion-proof design, special protective coatings, or modified hopper capacity or speed, will incur additional costs due to design, material, and manufacturing process variations.
Industrial bucket elevator price depends on your specific needs. The choice of belt, chain or plate chain depends on the characteristics of the material you want to convey, the required conveying volume and the lifting height.
