Z elevator elevator is optimized for transporting fragile and delicate granular materials, preserving product integrity during handling. The bucket elevator combines vertical and horizontal bulk material transport into a single unit, offering a safe, fast and cost effective way to move large quantities of material. The product is moved continuously into the loading hopper by means of a series of oscillating buckets and a vibrating feeder. During unloading, the cups are tilted to gently guide the product into the outlet hopper, minimizing the risk of material loss.
