Vertical bucket elevator KBE series

Overview The Kongskilde KBE bucket elevators deliver reliable, gentle and energy‑efficient vertical conveying for grain, seeds and other granular products. Available in capacities from 20 to 120 t/h and conveying heights up to 25 m, the KBE series combines galvanized heavy‑duty construction with a modular design for simple assembly and long service life.

KBE Bucket Elevators for Vertical Conveying Designed for agricultural handling and grain processing, KBE bucket elevators provide low‑impact conveying to minimise product damage. Their modular sections allow tailored heights and configurations to fit storage, cleaning and processing lines with limited footprint requirements.

Benefits

• Durable galvanized construction: Suited for outdoor and demanding farm environments.
• Gentle product handling: Minimises broken kernels and preserves seed quality.
• Modular assembly: Easy to install, extend or reconfigure to match operational changes.
• Energy efficient: Optimised drive and bucket arrangement to reduce power consumption.

Highlights

• Compact bevel gear motor option: High efficiency drive with flexible layout requirements.
• Shuttered inlet: Precise control of feed rate into the elevator.
• Belt tightening at boot: Accessible tensioning for quick adjustments.
• Cleaning hatch at boot: Facilitates fast cleanout during crop changes.
• Multiple inlet/outlet adapters: Adaptable connections for diverse line layouts.

Accessories – Wide Range for Optimum Adaptation

• Back running stop: Prevents reverse belt movement and blockages.
• Speed sensor: Monitors belt speed and signals need for tensioning.
• Rain covers: Protect motor, sensors and back stop in outdoor installations.
• Dust extraction spigot: Connects to vacuum systems for leg dust removal.
• Oil‑resistant belt: Option for oily seeds such as rapeseed.
• Plastic buckets: For delicate crops to reduce handling damage.
• Self‑cleaning spacers: Reduce kernel trapping between belt and buckets.

Applications Suitable for grain elevators, seed handling, cleaning, grading and processing installations where gentle, vertical conveying and low energy consumption are required.
