Gough Econ Elecon bucket conveyor and elevator system

A mid-size Elecon bucket conveyor and elevator system from Gough Econ has been introduced with a larger capacity bucket design for higher throughput and applications beyond typical dry bulk material handling.

With an increased bucket capacity of 8113 cm³, the Gough Elecon mid-range bucket elevator offers more than twice the capacity of the original Elecon system.

The mid-size multi-axis Go Anywhere Conveyor has a chain and wedge-shaped cantilevered bucket design that come together and overlap at the load or fill station. The rack and pinion system assures full discharge with a 360° bucket rotation on selection and quick return to the upright position.

The mid-size Elecon can convey material in three different directions: vertically, horizontally or any direction up to 180°. This is done without having to transfer the load being conveyed. It also lets users fit the conveyor within their production facility instead of modifying their facility to accommodate the material handling system.

Applications in the food industry include handling items such as cereal, coffee, tea, confectionery, pasta, pet food, salt, spices and snack products. Industrial applications range from handling catalyst to chemicals, fertiliser, metal powders, carbon black, battery powders, coal, sand and coin blanks.

Multiple cover panel options are available to meet a customer’s specific needs. Made of folded steel, the panels can be enclosed with steel or Lexan panels or they can be left open with the tubes exposed. Open construction allows for easier cleaning and maintenance whereas the two enclosed cases are appropriate for safety applications or to maintain a controlled environment.
