Multi-Axis Bucket Conveyor
The multi-axis Gough Elecon bucket conveyor and elevator system can be gentle when required for non-industrial situations, but it also delivers blanks to stamping presses, as it does at The Royal Australian Mint in Canberra, Australia.
This conveyor uses cantilevered buckets that move vertically, horizontally and can turn any direction up to 90o without having to transfer the load being conveyed. This lets users fit the conveyor within their production facility instead of modifying their facility to accommodate the material handling system.
The patented rack and pinion system ensures full discharge with a 360o bucket rotation on selection and quick return to the upright position for maximum flexibility.
Industrial applications range from handling catalyst to chemicals, fertilizer, metal powders, carbon black, battery powders, coal, sand and coin blanks.
