SS Bucket Conveyor

A high-efficiency stainless-steel inclined bucket conveyor engineered to elevate powders, granules, and small solids from a lower feed point to a higher discharge outlet. Material is lifted through a series of stainless-steel buckets mounted on a food-grade belt or durable chain. Designed for hygienic, continuous, and controlled conveying in food, agriculture, pharmaceutical, and industrial processing lines, the system ensures gentle handling, low contamination risk, and reliable throughput.
