Gough Econ offers the Elecon bucket conveyor and elevator system, designed to move material in three directions for flexibility in planning a material handling system within a production facility. The multi-axis system is well suited for applications requiring gentle handling, the company says. It uses cantilevered buckets that move vertically, horizontally and can turn any direction up to 90 degrees without having to transfer the load being conveyed. The multi-axis capability is the result of a chain design and cantilevered wedged-shaped buckets that come together and overlap at the load station.
