elimination of spillage (top)
The Cox &
Plant Products Ltd system has our unique interlocking bucket system that
offers distinct benefits. The extra deep buckets and jam-proof design
ensure spill-free loading, conveying and discharge of a wide range of
products.
Our designs
offer a small footprint saves valuable floor space.
Designs
that are built to last the course of time (top)
The rugged,
heavy-duty design has allowed some Cox & Plant Products Ltd customers
to operate their bucket elevators almost continuously for more than 25
years.
Our
bucket elevators operate well in a variety of challenging conditions:
(top)
- In wet
environments -- moulded buckets and chain requires no lubrication
- In frozen
environments -- buckets and chain designed for low temperatures are
available
- With high
temperature products - components designed to withstand heat up to 195°C
(380°F)
- In dusty
areas -- no moving parts in chain, easy to wash down.
The
best design for reliable product handling with damage minimisation. (top)
Cox & Plant
Products Ltd is a bucket elevator capable of running horizontally and
vertically, or at any angle in between from a single drive. The plastic
buckets are truly interlocking and never separate. This feature is achieved
by means of the joint strip that connects each bucket.
What
are the advantages to you? (top)
By running
horizontally and vertically without transfer points, your product can
move from one process to another without spillage, degradation, dusting
or segregation of blended products.
The interlocking
buckets ensure that there is no spillage at the infeed, and because the
buckets never separate, even on a vertical lift, the only place your product
leaves the buckets is at the discharge. Even here the Cox & Plant Products
Ltd design allows for a gentle cascading of product, further reducing
degradation.
You get the
gentlest possible handling with your product travelling undisturbed once
in the Bucket Elevator. Our designs mean the gentlest handling, the least
spillage, the lowest possible maintenance, and the quietest operation
of any mechanical elevating device.
P.E.C. can
be introduced to control the system; these can be covered for dust containment
and can be customized with available options to fit your application requirements,
such as the hinged covers.
Options
available include (top)
- Inlet
hoppers w/vibratory feeders
- Infeed
flanges / bucket knockers
- Speed
switches/motion alarms
- Discharge
chutes
- Discharge
assists for sticky products

Some bucket
elevators have to be enclosed as products can be extremely dusty, explosive
or corrosive, subject to contamination, hazardous to workers' health,
or the product's integrity may be affected by exposure to normal atmospheric
conditions.
The heavy
gauge sheet metal construction locates stiffeners only on the exterior
of the unit, leaving a smooth, clean interior. Quick access doors are
provided. Construction can be of carbon steel, stainless steel or a combination.
(i.e. carbon steel can be used for the parts of the unit located inside
a building and stainless steel can be used for the outside parts).
