“Our Jumbo products are considered the most efficient and durable elevator buckets available in the global market today,” says Roger Bruère of 4B’s Material Handling Division. “The new 20×10 option is ideal for high-throughput bucket elevator systems, grain loading port or train terminals or high-wear applications where the elevator is feeding on the downside or moving abrasive products.”
With the introduction of this new size, the Jumbo CC-S elevator bucket range now includes seven different sizes, offering greater flexibility for various processing needs.
Part of 4B’s “High Efficiency” range, the Jumbo bucket offers the thickest corners, front face and back wall for superior abrasion resistance and durability. Its wingless design and tapered bottom deliver extremely efficient fill and discharge. Jumbo series buckets are also designed to nest for reduced freight and storage costs.
At water level +10%, the capacity of the 20×10 is 18.68 Litres, making 700t/hr easily attainable with a single row. When installed in Low Profile configuration, 816t/hr can be achieved. In a triple row configuration an impressive 2,448t/hr can be achieved.
“With the Jumbo 20×10 size, it takes fewer buckets to achieve more tonnes per hour and less labour to install them on the belt, translating to lower costs,” says Bruère. “Plus, a narrower elevator leg casing can be used, allowing it to fit in tighter, more constrained spaces.”
