KARMEL chain bucket elevators

Efficient Vertical Conveying of Bulk Materials

KARMEL Chain Bucket Elevators are high-performance conveyors designed for vertical lifting of bulk materials such as cement, sand, crushed stone, grain, mineral powder, coal, granulated products, etc.

Thanks to the reliable bucket system, sealed design, and ability to operate in extreme conditions, KARMEL elevators are ideally suited for concrete batching plants, asphalt plants, the agricultural sector, and industrial enterprises.

Types of KARMEL Bucket Elevators

Chain bucket elevators – for heavy and abrasive materials
Belt bucket elevators – for light materials (grain, compound feed)
High-performance elevators – for handling large volumes of materials
Heat-resistant elevators – for conveying hot materials
