ACS Style Fabricated
Industrial Service Elevator Buckets
ACS Style elevator buckets are designed to be used in slow speed centrifugal discharge bucket elevators running chain. This style bucket is equipped with a hooded back, high front lip and vent holes for quicker loading and unloading similar to the AC but also adds the saddlebag feature for increased capacity. Typically, ACS buckets elevate fluffy, free flowing materials similar to cement where slow speed discharge is required.
Typical Products Elevated:
Aggregates, Asphalt, Cement, Clay, Coal, Cullet, Fertilizer, Glass, Gravel, Gypsum, Lime, Salt, Sawdust, Sand, Steel Shot, Sugar, Wood Chips as well as many others…

Why Use “Net” Capacity for Engineering Purposes?
T.O.P.S. Inc. recommends using “Net” capacity on all industrial style elevator buckets for “real world” engineering. Industrial products have high angles of repose due to their sluggish and dense nature, causing product to form a mound in the elevator bucket when loaded; which is also known as Net Capacity. 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.
