4B GROUP Expands Heavy Duty Jumbo Elevator Bucket Line
The new 20x10 inch size addition offers even greater versatility and efficiency for a wide range of material handling applications.
4B GROUP Launches New Jumbo Elevator Bucket Size
4B GROUP is excited to expand its Jumbo elevator bucket line (type JCC-S) to include a new 20x10 inch size, increasing versatility and efficiency for material handling applications. Roger Bruère of 4B’s Material Handling Division states that Jumbo products are considered the most efficient and durable elevator buckets available in the global market today. The new 20x10 option is ideal for high-throughput bucket elevator systems, grain loading port or train terminals, or high-wear applications where the elevator is feeding on the downside or moving abrasive products. This addition brings the Jumbo CC-S elevator bucket range to seven different sizes, offering greater flexibility for various processing needs.
Features and Benefits of the Jumbo 20x10
Part of 4B’s “High Efficiency” range, the Jumbo 20x10 elevator bucket offers superior abrasion resistance and durability due to its thickest corners, front face, and back wall. Its wingless design and tapered bottom deliver extremely efficient fill and discharge. Jumbo series buckets are also designed to nest for reduced freight and storage costs. At water level +10%, the capacity of the 20x10 is 18.68 Litres, making 700t/hr easily attainable with a single row. When installed in Low Profile configuration, 816t/hr can be achieved , and in a triple row configuration an impressive 2,448t/hr can be achieved.
Cost Savings and Efficiency with Jumbo 20x10
According to Bruère, the Jumbo 20x10 size requires fewer buckets to achieve more tonnes per hour and less labor to install them on the belt, translating to lower costs. Additionally, a narrower elevator leg casing can be used, allowing it to fit in tighter, more constrained spaces.
