V Style “Heavy-Duty” Polyethylene & Fabricated
Agricultural Service Elevator Buckets
V Style is a heavy-duty agricultural elevator bucket that uses a unique patent pending design for use in high speed centrifugal discharge bucket elevators running belt. These buckets were specifically designed for optimal discharge over smaller head pulleys up to 20”. We offer the V Style in three materials (polyethylene, carbon steel & stainless steel) for a broad range of customer applications. Typically, V buckets elevate fluffy or free flowing materials where high speed discharge is required.
Typical Products Elevated:
Barley, Beans, Corn, Feeds, Fertilizer, Flour, Grains, Milling, Nuts, Pellets, Rice, Salt, Seeds, Sugar as well as many others……

Why Use “Water Level 10%” Capacity for Engineering Purposes?
T.O.P.S. Inc. recommends using “Water Level 10%” capacity on all agricultural style elevator buckets for “real world” engineering. Agricultural products have various angles of repose due to their free flowing nature, causing product to form a mound in the elevator bucket when loaded; also known as Water Level 10%. This calculation allows for a more accurate, yet still conservative elevator bucket rating and has been in use for many years among engineers and bucket elevator manufacturers worldwide. Please don’t hesitate to contact T.O.P.S. Inc. for engineering recommendations.
