Bucket Elevators - Gallery

	Coal Bucket Elevator. The bucket elevator (pictured on the left) was designed to feed coal from a tipping hopper (right) to an existing overhead storage hopper.
	Coal is tipped directly into 3 storage hoppers, each of which is fitted with a belt conveyor mounted underneath. These 3 conveyors feed the coal into a long transfer conveyor, which in turn feeds the bucket elevator.

 Typical belt conveyor.
