BULK BIN ELEVATOR

Design & Manufacture for the Horticultural Trade

Do you have a requirement for a Bulk Bin Elevator?

Description

The Bulk Bin is a purpose built unit designed mainly for the handling of bulk bags of compost. Loose compost is also easily managed with the help of a front loading tractor no more shovelling. Once the hopper is loaded the unit can be started by either an on/off switch, foot switch or a compost sensor to start the chain and flight conveyer and so load your potting bench or potting machine with compost. The conveyer system incorporated in the hopper is a chain and flight style rather than belt: this ensures contact with the compost and minimizes the chance of bridging or blocking. The whole unit can be easily moved around the nursery by lifting with a fork-lift by way of the fork sleeves mounted under the machine.

Feeding a cross conveyor (we can tailor design your bin, be it hopper capacity, conveyor width or discharge height.
