AC Style Nylon
Industrial Service Elevator Buckets
AC Style Nylon elevator buckets are designed to be used in slow speed centrifugal discharge bucket elevators, running belt or chain. These nylon buckets are a lightweight alternative to our ductile iron or fabricated steel AC buckets where weight and corrosive applications are a concern. This style bucket allows close spacing and gentle product handling. Typically, AC 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.
