Description Bucket elevator
The bucket elevator by Jansen&Heuning provides controlled vertical transport of bulk materials. In an optionally enclosed, dust-tight construction, the system conveys dry, fine, or granular products such as grain, sand, minerals, powders, and granulates. Plastic or steel buckets are mounted on a conveyor belt or chain.
Thanks to its modular design and a wide range of material options, Jansen&Heuning configures each installation according to the required capacity, material properties, installation height, and any applicable ATEX zone. The bucket elevators are available in steel, stainless steel, or manganese steel and can be equipped with wear-resistant linings, electronic detection, and airtight sealing.
The JHE series is used in industries such as food, chemicals, agriculture, recycling, and mineral processing. Customers integrate the elevator into unloading stations or complete processing lines. Each configuration is developed in close consultation with our engineers.

Operation Of The Bucket Elevator
A bucket elevator transports bulk materials vertically using a continuous belt or chain fitted with buckets. The material enters at the bottom, where the buckets scoop it up and carry it upward. At the top, the material discharges through centrifugal or gravity action. The enclosed construction prevents dust emission and makes the system suitable for ATEX environments.
