All case studies

A leading pet food manufacturer in Suffolk, UK, upgraded hazard monitoring on 16 bucket elevators. Seeking a solution that ensured compliance and integrated with their PLC system, they turned to 4B Braime to design, supply, and install a future-ready safety system with full turnkey support.

Consol Glass were experiencing continuous belt breakages and downtime due elevator repairs and maintenance. 4B came up with a revised retrofit design on the elevator components, including AD400 Nyrim buckets and high quality elevator belting.

Design and complete component supply of a new bucket elevator to handle crushed glass, using AA85TN toughened nylon buckets with good abrasion resistance. Working around several size constraints due to indoor location of elevator and limited space available in the factory.

A potash fertiliser elevator was using solid hardox elevator buckets which were expensive and wearing quickly causing loss of production. 4B solved the problem with wear resistant, self-cleaning Nyrim buckets - fitted with a steel wearband for excellent impact resistance.

Largest UK producer of rape / canola oil recently upgraded their main silo feed elevator to incorporate 4B's advanced anti- static AM Nyrim elevator buckets.

An application of 304 grade stainless non-magnetic elevator bolts in magnet conveyors, used for removing ferrous materials from crushed recycled concrete. Overcoming the problem of standard mild steel bolts being drawn to the fixed magnets and increasing service life.

Coors Brewery had to replace its standalone equipment, which was costly, hard to monitor and leaving the facility at risk of equipment failure. The 4B HotBus system, with alarm outputs and valuable maintenance information, enabled the company to practice preventative maintenance and comply with ATEX requirements.

4B helped a peanut processing facility to overcome problems with product build-up in elevator buckets, reduced elevator capacity and clogged up elevator boots. This was achieved by replacing the existing buckets with vented 4B CC-S Urethane buckets and installing a self-cleaning wing-style pulley.
