4B elevator buckets

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides a detailed analysis of elevator buckets by 4B Group, focusing on their specifications, performance, and applications in industries like agriculture and heavy industry.
Specifications: Elevator buckets are categorized by design and material, including steel, HDP, nylon, and polyurethane, each suited for specific applications such as cereals, cement, and sticky materials. They are further classified into patterns (A, B, C, D) and types (Super Starco™, Starco™, Starco Jumbo™) with varying depths and capacities.
Performance Analysis: The Super Starco™ bucket is highlighted for its efficiency, offering increased volume and reduced installation costs due to fewer buckets and bolts needed per meter, while maintaining optimal fill and discharge characteristics across a wide speed range.
Material Properties: A comparison of materials like mild steel, stainless steel (304 and 316), nylon, and polyurethane is provided, evaluating cost, wear resistance, impact resistance, non-stick properties, and FDA food approval. Temperature limits for continuous and peak operations are specified.
Design & Engineering Services: 4B offers engineering services to optimize bucket elevator capacity, calculate horsepower and shaft diameter requirements, recommend shaft/belt speeds, troubleshoot issues, and ensure hazard monitoring compliance.
Bucket Selection Guide: Instructions on measuring buckets and selecting the appropriate type based on application needs are provided, with options for customization such as hole placement and reinforcing plates.
High Capacity Systems: The SJ Starco Jumbo™ system is designed for industrial elevators, especially in cement applications, featuring solid seamless construction for greater strength and longer life, allowing closer bucket spacing and higher capacity.
Conclusion: The document emphasizes the versatility and efficiency of 4B's elevator buckets, supported by engineering services and customization options to meet diverse industrial needs.
Specifications: A modular system for belt fasteners is outlined, available in 50mm segments for belts up to 1250 kN/m without thickness limitation. Four versions of Supergrip belt fasteners are detailed, each with specific belt strength and weight parameters, available in stainless steel and capable of withstanding temperatures up to 80º C with standard nylon nuts, or higher with Philidas nuts.
Supergrip Belt Fasteners: Details include:
  • Supergrip No.1: Belt Strength - 500kN/m, Weight - 0.5Kgs, M14 Bolts
  • Supergrip No.2: Belt Strength - 630kN/m, Weight - 0.8Kgs, M14 Bolts
  • Supergrip No.3: Belt Strength - 800kN/m, Weight - 0.85Kgs, M14 Bolts
  • Supergrip No.4: Belt Strength - 1250kN/m, Weight - 1.83Kgs, M16 Bolts
Bespoke belt clamps are available for belts over 1250kN/m.
Braime Clamp (BC) Series: Designed for heavy-duty belt splices on larger bucket elevators, made from extruded aluminum with a center wedge section to minimize belt wear. The BC1 is suitable for rubber/PVC belting up to 1,000 PIW, while BC2, BC3, and BC4 are for steel web belting with additional machined steel vise grip sections.
4B Vise Splices: These mechanical splices for PVC and rubber elevator belts feature a three-piece construction with ribbed gripping areas, available in non-ferrous and ferrous versions, suitable for belts with tensile strengths up to 1400 kN/m and operating temperatures up to 315°C.
Additional Information: Contact details for 4B Components Ltd. across various global locations are provided, emphasizing their policy of continuous improvement and the availability of additional catalogues for related products.

TYPE S STARCO™ DID YOU KNOW…The Starco bucket was originally invented by 4B Braime’s French subsidiary, SETEM, in the 1980s and was the first low profile elevator bucket to use centrifugal discharge on a parabolic elevator head to achieve much higher capacities on a given elevator leg. As such, the STARCO bucket has revolutionised the elevator buckets market. Available Options N = no holes / F = flat holes / R = recessed hole

GB SPIDEX™ BOTTOMLESS BUCKETS GB SPIDEX™ UNIQUE DESIGN FEATURES With the GB system, buckets are centered at very close spacing with a series of buckets without bottoms followed by a closed bottom bucket. The material is lifted in a continuous column, so the carrying space between conventional buckets is fully utilized by material to achieve much greater capacity. The buckets “fan out” as they pass over the head and tail pulleys to facilitate pick up or discharge. The system increases capacity of an existing elevator leg at a much lower cost than the purchase of a new bucket elevator. The GB system...
