FAQ's

How can material buildup at the bottom of the elevator column be avoided?
Design your elevator bucket line so that every third or fourth bucket is a "clean-up" bucket, with the lip extended an extra 1/2 inch beyond normal projection. The "clean-up" lips will insure that loose material does not pack or harden at the bottom of the elevator column, eliminating a major cause of bucket wear.
