Bucket Belt Elevator (BBE).

What’s the benefit?

  • Compared to a conveyor belt the BBE can lift material vertically.
  • The BBE can handle large quantities of material.
  • The special design of the buckets ensures high stability and reduced risk of spillage.

What does it do?

The Bucket Belt Elevator (BBE) is designed to lift material from point A to point B by means of buckets. The buckets are attached to a belt that pulls them around. The BBE is typically used to lift the reject material and return it to the main flow.


Variant 1 (standard):

The Bucket Belt Elevator C (BBE-C) is designed to lift the reject material and return it to the main flow in a C-like trajectory.


Variant 2:

The Bucket Belt Elevator Z (BBE-Z) is designed to lift the reject material and return it to the main flow in a Z-like trajectory.

How does it do it?

The BBE consists of an inlet hopper, a vibration feeder, buckets, a gear-motor drive, inspection hatches and an outlet chute.

There is an inlet hopper at the bottom with a VF that provide a consistent flow of the material into the buckets. The buckets are mounted on the belt that continuously pulls the buckets around by a geared motor. At the top of the unit there is an outlet chute where the buckets are emptied. There is a drawer in the lower section allowing for easy cleaning. The belt is manually adjustable.
