Belt Elevators

Research and development, field testing and installation experience dating back to the 1930's have allowed Rexnord to produce a belt bucket elevator that incorporates concepts and components that reflect performance technology. Rexnord^® Belt Elevators are currently handling such products as cement, raw meal, alumina, coke, foundry sand, wood chips and other materials where physical characteristics are best suited to be belt type elevator. Rexnord elevators have been supplied with lifts in excess of 100 meters (328 feet).

Greater conveying capacities at speeds up to 115 meters per second (377 feet per minute) along with "AC" style elevator buckets.

Higher lifts are possible in comparison to the chain style elevator. Simplistic but secure bucket fastening method utilizes a large diameter flat head type fastener that allows the head of the fastener to be virtually flush with the surface of the belt. Belt material is commercially available steel cable carcass with a cross rigid weft construction which provides excellent tracking characteristics.

Rexnord's belt splice can be installed within 4-6 hours. Unique metal lagging on head pulley provides a positive traction surface for the belt. The hard metal lagging offers years longer wear life than the conventional rubber lagging and it also aids with continuous tracking of the belt.
