Complete bucket elevators and spare parts 6 2 BULKOS complete bucket elevators BULKOS complete bucket elevators are ideally suited to vertical conveying applications for powdery, granular, lumpy and high-temperature bulk materials. BULKOS round steel chain type bucket elevators BULKOS round steel chain type bucket elevators enable handling of materials even under the toughest conditions, such as high temperatures or bulk flow rates. Our multiple link bucket attachments are robust and ensure a high degree of safety during transport. BULKOS high-performance central chain type bucket elevators BULKOS...

Complete conveyor systems 7 BULKOS complete conveyor systems BULKOS conveyor systems offer complete systems for transporting your materials. Equipped with forked chains or round steel chains, they ensure smooth operation of your systems. BULKOS apron feeders BULKOS drag chain conveyors BULKOS screw conveyors BULKOS scraper conveyors BULKOS apron feeders are based on round steel chains, and are very robust. Thanks to a closed slab cover, the chains remain clean during operation. Wear and tear is thus minimised. BULKOS drag chain conveyors are suitable for the dust-free, horizontal and slightly...

Components for round steel chain applications 8 Performance criteria for RUD chains System availability (operational reliability) BULKOS chains BULKOS chain connectors BULKOS sprockets Due to their excellent chain core toughness, BULKOS chains, available in special sizes, offer high breaking strength and resistance to brittle fracture. The chain geometry is always matched to all system components in terms of its resistance to fatigue fracture. This is the only way to ensure safe and long-lasting operation. In addition, RUD‘s quality strategy ensures that our products are continually optimised....

From the smallest to the largest conveyor capacity classes for bulk materials 9 Safety against fracture Net weight of chain strand (energy efficiency) Price/performance ratio BULKOS chain wheels BULKOS attachments BULKOS buckets When faced with very challenging bucket elevator applications, we pay particular attention to the design of the BULKOS reversing and tensioning wheels, as the reliable functioning of these components is critical in determining the life-span of the chain equipment. The contact surface is induction hardened to deal with tough operating conditions. Grooved wheels or plain...

Components for central chain type bucket elevators 10 Insert pins Install outer flat link Straighten the chain - and you‘re done, no tools required! Bucket attachment Bucket mounting Simply bend the chain links at any point to open, shorten or extend the central chain. BULKOSdrive wheels BULKOS central chains RUD central chains are ideally suited to use in high-capacity bucket elevators. The RUD central chain provides a robust means of traction for vertical conveying of powdery, granular, lumpy and high-temperature materials. Safe transport of abrasive materials is also guaranteed. RUD central...

Components for the forked chains for drag chain conveyors 11 Sophisticated wear indicator Extra large radii Deburred holes Reduced weight Highest strength and durability in use forked chains FORKY forked chains from RUD are set apart by their excellent material properties. Drop-forged alloyed steel ensures the highest possible strength and long-term durability in your applications. The unique RUD heat-treatment process guarantees consistent material quality, and therefore a high level of system availability. FORKY sprockets are segmented and are made from C45. The tooth flanks are induction hardened....
