“ After two years, we took down the buckets and
compared. Others were worn out, but the Tapco
urethane buckets looked as good as the day
they were installed! It was a real awakening!”
John Looman, Maintenance Supervisor
WEST MICHIGAN MILLS, a division of Hamilton Farm Bureau
Holland, Michigan, U.S.A.
Although West Michigan Mills is not located in Tapco’s home state
of Missouri, Maintenance Supervisor John Looman appreciates the
“Show Me” state motto and recommends that others use it when
evaluating buckets.
“Turkey and hog feed pellets are very
rough and abrasive,” Looman
explains. “So after reviewing wear
characteristics, we ordered 25 buckets
from several manufacturers and
installed them to see how they would
hold up under real conditions.”
West Michigan Mills has been processing more than 2,100 tons of
feed each week for more than 30 years and knew the buckets were
in for a real workout.
“Other brands completely wore out and had to be replaced way too fast,”
Looman says. “But I got a real awakening last week. We checked the
Tapco 12" x 7" CC-HD urethane buckets for the first time in two years
and they looked EXACTLY the same as the day we installed them!”
“When something good happens, I like to say it,”
Looman confirms. “Tapco urethane buckets really perform
like they say they will – even when others fall apart.”
Which is probably why 80% of design engineers,
contractors and bucket elevator manufacturers in
the U.S.A. specify Tapco buckets*.
