Claus elevator buckets Claus elevator buckets made of pressed steel (ST37 or stainless steel) are suitable for a variety of different products. The relatively low rear height of the buckets allows a considerable bucket density (buk-kets per meter). The low rear height and the relatively large projection guarantee that the Claus bucket easily ejects its product even at high belt speeds. This makes it possible to attain a higher capacity. Claus elevator buckets made of steel/stainless steel (parameters in mm) Z2 = gross volume in liters, Z3 = net volume in liters. Claus elevator buckets are also available in thicknesses (t) of 2.5 and 3.0 mm. [email protected] www.bechtel-wuppertal.de

Plastic Claus buckets Bechtel supplies plastic Claus elevator buckets made of PEHD or nylon ex stock. Besides, PU and zytel are also available. Plastic elevator buckets lend themselves particularly well to the transport of wet, sticky or fatty products. Another advantage is that plastic elevator buckets do not strike a spark even if the belt is misaligned. Claus elevator buckets made of plastic (parameters in mm) Type Size/weight Volume Holes Max.
