GB - Spidex™ Buckets
Bottomless Elevator Buckets

High capacity bottomless elevator bucket system. GB Spidex™ buckets are closely spaced with a series of buckets without bottoms followed by one bucket with a bottom. The material is lifted in a continuous column and the carrying space normally wasted between conventional buckets is fully utilized to achieve much greater capacity. The buckets pick up and discharge conventionally, but care must be taken in the design of the boot and the head.
