4B Components expands Jumbo Bucket Elevator line for enhanced efficiency, durability

USA –  4B Components, a global leader in material handling and bucket elevator solutions, has announced the expansion of its Jumbo bucket elevator line with the introduction of a new 20×10 inch size.

The new 20×10 Jumbo bucket boasts a capacity of 1,140 cubic inches at water level +10%, enabling it to achieve 25,000 bushels per hour (bph) in a single-row configuration. When installed in a Low Profile setup, the capacity increases to 30,000 bph.

For even higher throughput, a triple-row configuration can deliver up to 90,000 bph, making it an ideal solution for large-scale operations.

This latest addition, which is also available with the patented slotted Super Vent, is designed to meet the demands of high-throughput applications, including receiving legs, barge loadout terminals, and high-wear environments.

The Super Vent enhances airflow and material discharge efficiency, reducing blockages and improving overall system performance.

According to Roger Bruère, Vice President of the Material Handling Division at 4B, the new 20×10 option is ideal for high-throughput receiving legs, barge loadout terminals, or high-wear applications where the elevator is feeding on the downside or moving abrasive products.

“Our Jumbo products are considered the most efficient and durable elevator buckets available in the global market today,” he noted.

Bruère emphasized the cost-saving benefits of the new size, stating that it is a cost-effective solution ideal for businesses looking to optimize their material handling processes.

 “With the Jumbo 20×10 size, it takes fewer buckets to achieve more bushels per hour and less labor to install them on the belt, translating to lower costs. Plus, a narrower elevator leg casing can be used, allowing it to fit in tighter, more constrained spaces.”

The new size brings the total number of Jumbo bucket options to seven, further solidifying 4B’s reputation for innovation and quality in the material handling industry.

The Jumbo bucket series is renowned for its durability and efficiency, making it a preferred choice for industries handling abrasive materials.

The Jumbo bucket’s design features the thickest corners, front face, and back wall in the industry, providing superior abrasion resistance. Its wingless design and tapered bottom ensure efficient fill and discharge, while the nesting capability reduces freight and storage costs.
