Generally, elevators that enable the vertical transport of grains are produced in different capacity ranges according to general needs. Elevators are made of galvanized steel, and all their components are assembled with bolt and nut connections. They are also frequently used as grain silos, providing ease of maintenance by shortening assembly times. The elevator drive head, which carries the load, also has a robust construction, galvanized according to the model. The parts of the head that come into contact with grains are coated with wear-resistant polyethylene. Cleaning and maintenance windows also have features that offer extra convenience to users with practical opening and closing elements.

According to requests and needs, it offers options such as magnetic properties, belt slip sensor, speed control, etc., by mounting feed hopper inlets on the sides to safely feed fallen grains back into the system. Standard inlet hoppers for products generally reduce the variety of pipe and flow accessories in elevator wells with optional 1, 2, 3, or 4 inlets, often with magnets. These products, also found in grain silo areas, simplify the complex structures of facilities and add volume to the well.
