New Carier Bucket Elevator
General
Guttridge introduce the new Carier range of elevators offering throughputs between 40 and 100tph of cereals. Designed using the latest 3D modelling software, the new range is suitable for handling a wide range of free flowing and semi-free flowing products, but is aimed primarily at the farming and commercial grain store market. Drawing on nearly 50 years of experience in the design and manufacturing of bucket elevators for a wide variety of industries from cereals to mining and minerals, Guttridge have produced a range which optimises throughput whilst minimising cost but without compromising build specification.
Specification
Supplied in galvanised finish as standard, this new range incorporates the latest in high efficiency bucket design to give big throughputs in a small casing size. The reduced inlet and outlet depths also make the planning of these elevators into existing stores much easier. The use of shaft mounted gearmotor drives also provides a low maintenance and compact arrangement with minimal loss of efficiency.
All models incorporate split top hoods, bottom shaft belt tensioners and adjustable head bearings for ease of maintenance. Bolted access panels are provided in both sides of the head and boot sections with removable panels on the rising leg for bucket maintenance/belt joining.
