EASY CLEAN-OUT BOOT
Norstar Bucket Elevators feature a boot section with two clean-out doors on either side of the boot (1600 series and up). The doors are easy to slide open and leave the elevator floor accessible to a vacuum, blower or other clean-out method. We also utilize a Winged "Easy-Clean" Pulley in the boot to prevent material build up on the pulley face.
   
ELEVATOR TRUNKING
Norstar Bucket Elevators feature a twin-trunking design. Each section is jigged and all flanges are laser-aligned to ensure straight construction without twisting. The trunking seams are track welded for dust containment and weather tightness. Connector Plates are provided to connect each trunking section, ensuring that they are square, making for an easier assembly. Trunking is available in 14 ga, 12ga or 10ga material.
   
ELEVATOR HEAD ASSEMBLY
The head section of a Norstar Bucket Elevator features a split-hood design that provides easy access to the head components. The curved contour of the head promotes minimal product impact, preserving material quality. We also offer additional liner options for increased wear protection. Norstar utilizes a crown-faced drum with vulcanized rubber legging for optimal belt traction. All elevator head shafts feature UHMW seals for weather tightness.
