Bucket Elevator
The choice of methods used to install the belt and buckets is determined by:
1. Length and weight of belt
2. Number, size, and weight of buckets
3. Open area available around the base of the elevator
4. Available equipment
REMINDER: The hood is not yet assembled to the head section.
The drawings furnished with the elevator identify the belt to be used, either as furnished by InterSystems
or as specified by the customer, if provided by others. The drawings also specify the type, size, number,
spacing, and pattern of buckets on the belt.

screws to raise the pulley to its highest level.
