Interchangeability Can be intermixed with existing steel or non-metallic buckets. Some consideration should be given to balance. Contact us for recommendations.
Installation Fanged elevator bolts and nylon insert lock nuts are recommended for installation. Flat steel washers must be placed inside the bucket under the nuts ! Check leg for proper clearances, as non-metallic buckets may have a greater projection than steel buckets.
FDA Status Polyethylene used meets the requirements for food handling.
UV Resistance No UV ( ultraviolet ) stabilizers are added to the buckets because most elevator buckets are enclosed in casings. The buckets should not be exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods.
Recommendations Polyethylene buckets are ideal for use with grains, feeds, fertilizers, seeds, food products, chemicals, salt and most free flowing agricultural products handled in bucket elevators.
Limitations

Polyethylene buckets should not be used on the following:

  1. Material over 93° C
  2. Sharp edged materials such as crushed glass or oyster shells
  3. Large dense materials such as gravel and ores over 10 mm diameter.
  4. A few extremely abrasive and sluggish materials such as dried whey, some pellets and extruded feeds.
  5. Some severe soybean and rice applications.
Caution Welding and cutting on grain elevator legs without taking proper precautions is extremely dangerous and can cause a violent explosion. Polyethylene buckets can be ignited and will burn from improper weldingand cutting. Combustion can produce intense heat, dense smoke and toxic gases.
Important When elevating certain materials that harden or set up with moisture, a steel digger bucket should replace every 10. polyethylene bucket.
