Pivoting Bucket Elevators and Bucket Conveyors

A versatile bucket conveying and elevating system in a robust and durable design that will transport a bulk product from one interface point in the process to its next position.

Gough's patented Swinglink® elevators have a continuous patented chain and bucket design with overlapping lips that present a continuous row of buckets at the in-feed station. This allows for spill free multiple load points and multiple selectable discharge stations. These Gough elevators have worked within single installations and complex schemes.

Gough's other popular bucket elevator design, the Econ-o-Lift® with its unique in-feed system allows the buckets to overlap and give a spill-free load. Throughout the rest of the system, spaced buckets allow for a full 360° multiple or single discharge.

Each of the patented designs allows Gough to specify a machine that exactly matches your process requirements.
