The chain elevator of the NC type manufactured by ELKONOR LLC is designed for transporting granular, fine-grained, dusty and hot cargo in a vertical direction to a height of up to 40 m. The transported product is grain, compound feed, as well as cement, basalt crumb, sand, mineral fertilizers, food products, pellets, wood chips, etc.
The traction load-bearing element is a chain (or two chains) with attached buckets. To achieve a given productivity, taking into account the characteristics of the product, the optimal chain speed and bucket pitch are selected.

The main advantage over a belt elevator is the almost guaranteed non-convergence of the chain, its low stretching, dusty and hot products and the absence of product on the chain. As for the disadvantages, low productivity and greater weight.

It is possible to make a bucket elevator entirely of stainless steel, including the chain, which will increase the operating time, for example, with mineral fertilizers or other chemically active products.

Chains are used of type M, TRD or foreign type 81XN, metal buckets of our own production with a thickness of 2mm to 6mm.

The elevator is easy to integrate into the technological scheme, or to develop a control cabinet with all control and emergency sensors.
