CC Type Elevator Bucket Overview

CC type elevator bucket is designed based on the traditional CC bucket style, offering a high-strength and high-efficiency solution for agricultural bucket elevator systems. It can be used as a direct replacement for Tapco CC series buckets in many applications.

Design Advantage

The unique side structure of the CC bucket improves material filling efficiency compared with standard deep bottom buckets. This design increases bucket capacity and allows shorter installation spacing, which helps improve overall conveying efficiency.

Applications

CC type elevator buckets are widely used in agricultural material handling systems, including:

  • Grain conveying
  • Feed processing
  • Seed handling
  • Fertilizer transport
  • Chemical and bulk material conveying

Material Options

Different materials are available to match various working conditions:

HDPE Buckets

HDPE CC buckets are suitable for general agricultural applications, including grains, feed, seeds, chemicals, sands, salts, and fertilizers. They provide good performance for free-flowing materials.

Nylon Buckets

Nylon CC buckets offer higher strength and better abrasion resistance, making them suitable for more demanding applications such as grain, soybeans, chemicals, sand, and fertilizer conveying under rough conditions.

PU Buckets

PU (urethane) CC buckets are ideal for handling abrasive and heavy-duty materials, including pelletized feed, high-fat feed, molasses-based materials, soybeans, rice, and barley. They are well suited for severe working environments.

Use advice

  • Suitable for high-speed centrifugal discharge and light bulk material lifting
  • A, B, and C sizes are shown in the below table are for HDPE material bucket size, Nylon and PU bucket sizes will increase by about 2%
  • Recommend using “(Z-Y)+5% as the usable capacity for engineering design
