Description
Product Overview
The 16 Gauge Elevator Bucket is a high-performance component engineered for the rigorous demands of modern rice milling operations. Designed for smooth and efficient vertical conveying of paddy and processed rice, these buckets help minimize grain breakage while maintaining high throughput. Manufactured from reinforced 1.5 mm (16-gauge) heavy-duty metal, they offer exceptional strength and shape retention for continuous 24/7 milling environments.
The precision-formed smooth interior ensures complete discharge at the elevator head, reducing material carryback, preventing batch cross-contamination, and minimizing grain loss.
Key Features
-
Milling-Grade Durability: Constructed from robust 16-gauge (1.5 mm) metal to withstand constant abrasion from paddy, husk, and rice grains.
-
High-Flow Geometry: Optimized depth and width ratios maximize carrying capacity per cycle, enhancing overall elevator efficiency.
-
Reinforced Mounting System: Equipped with three precision-aligned bolt holes for secure, vibration-free installation on elevator belts or chains.
-
Wear & Heat Resistance: Designed to resist friction-induced wear and heat commonly generated in high-speed grain processing facilities.
-
Standardized Size Range: Available in ten industry-specific sizes (4″–10″), ensuring compatibility with a wide range of rice mill elevator trunking systems.
