IBT Offers a Wide Range of Bucket Elevator Products

We are passionate about helping you find the right bucket elevator upgrades, replacement parts, belts, buckets, or replacement elevators you need to get your business back on track and more efficient than ever. Here is a scope of the wide range of bucket elevator products we offer:

Pre-Engineered & Custom Bucket Elevators

IBT partners with high-quality bucket elevator manufacturers like Conveyors Inc., Essmueller, Schlagel, and Universal Industries to ensure that our customers can rely on the performance of their bucket elevators in even the most demanding environments.

If you need a custom-designed bucket elevator, our engineers are happy to assist. We’ll discuss your requirements and specifications, what material you are handling, your challenges, the environment the equipment will be working in, and what level of modular adaptations your bucket elevator will need to handle.

Replacement Elevator Belts

IBT supplies a wide variety of top-quality elevator belts in various materials and sizes to keep your existing elevator running. Our rubber and PVC leg elevator belting is slit to width and punched for your bucket application.

We are especially known for our grain conveyors and elevator belts, and our expertise in selecting the right grain conveyor belt for the job. Besides grain, we also have experience with other free-flowing materials like feed, fertilizer, seed, salt, pellets, and more.

Bucket Elevator Liners

Consider fully lining your elevator head housing and other high-wear areas with easy-to-install urethane liners that offer great abrasion-resistant properties while reducing noise and corrosion. These liners are available in various thicknesses and are commonly stocked in expanded metal-backed (EMB), with select thicknesses available in fabric-backed.

We can advise you on what liners make sense for your budget and application. From a head section with urethane liner and UHMW throat plates, to the boot section with spiral-wrapped wing pulleys, IBT will help you select every piece of lining for your grain bucket elevator based on your specific needs.

Tapco®

Polyethylene, Nylon or Urethane Style CC-HD, XD and U-HD

Tapco heavy-duty agricultural buckets handle grains, feeds, fertilizers, seeds, salt, sand, chemicals, and a variety of other free-flowing materials.

Polyethylene elevator buckets are ideal for most applications. Nylon and urethane are recommended for conveying highly abrasive products or when used on extremely high-throughput elevators. Order any of these styles in a “Low Profile” design to increase your grain elevator capacity.

Maxi-Lift®

TIGER-TUFF, TIGER-CC, MAXI-TUFF, CC-MAX, HD-MAX, and HD-STAX

Perfect for a high volume of materials, the high-impact and abrasion-resistant Maxi-Lift elevator buckets are most commonly used in grain, fertilizers, pellets, corn, wheat, soybeans, and other agricultural and light industrial applications.

With thick front lips, corners, and walls, the TIGER-TUFF is the original maximum-duty elevator bucket designed and engineered to increase bucket life, reduce breakage and corrosion, and, ultimately, reduce downtime and maintenance costs. The TIGER-TUFF Low Profile option is reduced in height to allow for more buckets per foot of belt, increasing bucket elevators’ overall capacity.

4B Components Limited

CC-S, JUMBOTM CC-S® HIGH EFFICIENCY™

These top-selling lines of 4B Ultra Heavy Duty Agricultural and Industrial Buckets are available in both Standard and Low Profile-Style Buckets. With a unique Iceberg® Edge front lip and thick walls and corners for longer service life, these buckets are designed to deliver the maximum
possible elevator leg throughput for the lowest cost per ton or bushel.

Molded from virgin HDPE (nylon and urethane also available), they are intended for the most severe applications and highly abrasive materials, such as free-flowing agro-industrial materials (grains, feeds, fertilizers, and pellets).
