Space Efficient
This page describes a new generation of bucket elevators from Ryson International. They are of the enclosed pivoting bucket type and can have multiple in and outlets.
The bucket elevators combine vertical and horizontal transportation of bulk material in one integral unit. They are of modular design and rugged construction, making them suitable for a wide variety of applications. All bucket elevators can be delivered in painted carbon steel, stainless steel or washdown versions.
Gentle Handling
The Ryson Bucket Elevators are designed for gentle handling and quiet operation. The buckets facilitate transportation of measured quantities and are available in several sizes.
The buckets are overlapping at the infeed and remain in an upward position until emptied, thereby preventing spillage.
Rugged Construction
The Ryson Bucket Elevators are designed for heavy duty operations and long life. They can be delivered in painted carbon steel, stainless steel or washdown versions. Elevators with multiple outlets have selective bucket tipping capabilities. This is accomplished by an air actuated tipping ramp. The last tipping ramp is always in a fixed position to assure that all buckets are emptied.
The chain is a 2" roller chain with hollow pin shaft and 1 1/8" diameter rollers. The rolling surface is made of polyurethane assuring smooth and quiet operation. The buckets are made of a food grade reinforced polycarbonate, molded in one piece and a can handle temperatures from -5 to 215 degrees Fahrenheit. Anti-static and stainless steel buckets are optional.
The bucket elevators allow for controlled feeds at one or more locations and can easily interface with various types of feeding devices.
Many Uses
The Ryson Bucket Elevators are very well suited for a broad range of bulk products in the food, agriculture, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, chemical, ceramic, glass, recycling, building and metallurgical industries and others requiring gentle handling.
Several Models
Four standard models are available, sized to handle capacities of up to 350, 830, 2,000 and 2,800 cubic feet per hour. Ryson also recognizes that many of our customers have needs outside our standard models. We are therefore prepared to customize and find individual solutions for our customers.
Optional Features

The buckets have a quick release mechanism to facilitate fast installation or removal of buckets. All elevators are equipped with an automatic chain tensioning device and built-in overload protection.
Modular Design
The modular design accommodates a wide range of configurations and makes the elevators easy to install and modify. The most common configurations are the C and Z versions. Many other configurations are possible, some examples are shown below.
