Bucket ConveyorZ-Type Bucket Elevator
Feed your packaging line from floor level.
The PBC Series carries granular products in suspended buckets along a horizontal run, up the lift and to the discharge. Z-type and C-type layouts are available to suit the line arrangement.
Match the conveyor to the product, required feed rate and receiving machine. Final power and layout depend on the installation.
Loaded once. Carried level. Tipped at the end.
- Load at the infeed. Product enters the bucket at the feeding point.
- Carry along the path. Suspended buckets stay level on the horizontal and vertical sections.
- Discharge at the outlet. The buckets tip to release the product into the next stage.
A single drive moves the continuous chain loop. Product handling and any breakage criteria should be assessed with your material and operating conditions.
Choose a layout and capacity range.
| Model | Layout | Reference capacity | Max. lift height | Drive power | Bucket material |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PBC-Z4L-S | Z-type | 10–15 m³/h | 25 m | 1.1–4 kW | ABS / PE / PP / 304 SS |
| PBC-Z6L-S | Z-type | 15–20 m³/h | 25 m | 1.1–4 kW | ABS / PE / PP / 304 SS |
| PBC-C4L-S | C-type | 10–15 m³/h | 25 m | 1.1–4 kW | ABS / PE / PP / 304 SS |
| PBC-C6L-S | C-type | 15–20 m³/h | 25 m | 1.1–4 kW | ABS / PE / PP / 304 SS |
Capacity is volumetric reference data. Actual throughput depends on bulk density, material behaviour, layout and operating conditions. Drive power depends on lift height and duty and is confirmed with the layout drawing.
Bucket sizes: 4 or 6 litres. Select the bucket material and configuration for the product and cleaning requirements.

Start with the space around your line.
- A
- Infeed height above floor
- B
- Discharge height above floor
- C
- Horizontal run at the infeed
- D
- Horizontal run at the discharge
Send A, B, C and D with the available floor space, required feed rate, product bulk density and receiving-hopper details.
Discuss your layoutSee the feeding movement.
The supplied clip shows the conveyor in operation. Discuss your material and layout before using it to plan a production setup.
Review feed consistency, discharge height, receiving-hopper capacity and control signals together with the packaging machine.
