TH chain bucket elevator price analysis

Tuesday October-21 2025 15:00:30

TH chain bucket elevator prices usually range from $350 to $10,000. This price is not fixed but depends on the equipment's material, model, hopper type, lifting height, conveying capacity, and configuration. Different parameter combinations affect the overall equipment cost. A small, conventional carbon steel model (e.g., 4-meter height, 10-ton/hour lifting capacity) costs approximately $350-1,500, while a food-grade or pharmaceutical-grade stainless steel model (e.g., 40-meter height, 200-ton/hour lifting capacity) costs between $2,000 and $7,900. The conveying capacity determines the equipment model, and the key to selecting the right model is to match it to the material being conveyed. For dry granular or powdered materials, such as wheat and corn, a standard chain bucket elevator is sufficient. For high-temperature or large, heavy materials, a plate chain model is recommended. For materials that require flexible transport, a model equipped with universal casters at the bottom should be selected.

Detailed Analysis of TH Chain Bucket Elevator Prices

When choosing a TH chain bucket elevator, the TH chain bucket elevator price is affected by factors such as model (chain or plate chain), material (carbon steel, stainless steel), height (4-50 meters), lifting capacity (5-800 cubic meters/hour) and configuration.

In terms of material selection

TH chain bucket elevators are available in two types: plate and chain. Plate chains are suitable for conveying high-temperature materials and can withstand temperatures up to 300°C. Chains, on the other hand, are generally used for conveying general materials and are not suitable for handling corrosive materials, which can make them less durable. Therefore, plate chains are $200-$500 more expensive than chain. The elevator body is available in three materials: carbon steel, alloy steel, and stainless steel. Carbon steel is suitable for most general-purpose materials and is relatively inexpensive, costing approximately $500 to $1,500 (depending on specifications and manufacturer pricing). Alloy steel chains are suitable for materials requiring high loads and high wear resistance, and are more expensive, ranging from $1,000 to $5,000. For use with corrosive materials or in high-temperature environments, stainless steel is the most expensive, costing between $3,000 and $7,300.

In terms of lifting height and capacity

TH chain bucket elevators have a lifting height range of 4-50 meters. The price for a 4-20 meter unit generally ranges from $350 to $2,000, which is relatively low and meets general industrial needs. For a lifting height of 20-40 meters, it is suitable for most medium-sized enterprises, with prices generally ranging from $1,500 to $3,500. For lifting heights exceeding 40 meters, the equipment requires a more powerful drive system and higher-quality chains, typically costing over $2,500 to $6,000. For a lifting capacity of 5-800 cubic meters per hour, the higher the lifting capacity, the larger the motor and drive, the larger the size, the more consumables, and the higher the price.

In terms of customization

When standard TH chain bucket elevator models don't meet your lifting needs, a customized product is needed. For example, explosion-proof designs are designed for use in potentially explosive environments (such as pulverized coal plants and fertilizer plants). The equipment must meet explosion-proof standards, and the price will increase, typically by $500-$1,500, depending on the explosion-proof level and additional safety measures. Corrosion-resistant designs are suitable for use in humid or highly corrosive environments (such as chemical plants and food processing plants). Stainless steel or special coatings are required, and the equipment cost can increase by $800-$2,000.
