THERMOPLASTIC
URETHANE
STYLE:
CC-HD (Heavy Duty) and U-HD (Heavy Duty).
DESIGN:
High speed centrifugal discharge.
MATERIAL:
Prime virgin thermoplastic urethane.
METHOD OF MANUFACTURE:
Injection molded.
COLOR:
Beige (Tan).
TEMPERATURE RANGE:
-60°F to + 212°F/-51° C to + 100°C.
Durometer range:
Shore D 60-70.
FLAMMABILITY:
The urethane used in Tapco buckets, meets the criteria
of the Underwriters’ Laboratory Bulletin No. 94 HB. It has been tested
under ASTM Test No. D635 and has a burn rate of 0.76”/min. it also
meets approval under motor vehicle safety standard No. 302, with a
burn rate of 0.0”/min.
STANDARD DRILLING:
No charge.
SPECIAL DRILLING:
Any pattern and hole diameter can be provided
at minimal cost.
VENTING:
Available in five standard patterns. Refer to the Tapco catalog
section on Venting.
USABLE CAPACITY:
Net or usable capacity could range from 10% to
20% above water level. For engineering purposes Tapco recommends
using WL (Water Level) + 10% for usable capacity.
SPACING:
Minimum bucket spacing has historically been nominal
projection plus 2". Many style CC buckets, however, are being used
at projection plus 1", and some even closer. For engineering purposes
Tapco recommends using nominal projection plus 2".
INTERCHANGEABILITY:
Can be intermixed with existing steel or
nonmetallic buckets. Some consideration should be given to balance.
Bucket projection varies by manufacturer and material. Check elevator
for proper clearances. Contact Tapco for recommendations.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION
AGRICULTURAL STYLE FOR HANDLING
PELLETIZED OR EXTRUDED FEEDS, SOYBEANS, FERTILIZERS, OYSTER SHELLS, SALT, SAND,
CHEMICALS, and OTHER ABRASIVE PRODUCTS
INSTALLATION:
Fanged elevator bolts and nylon insert lock nuts are
recommended for pulleys 6" in diameter and over. No. 3 Eclipse slotted
head elevator bolts are recommended for pulleys under 6" in diameter.
Large flat steel (fender) washers must be placed inside the bucket
under the nuts.
Check elevator for proper clearances.
FDA STATUS:
Our standard urethane does not meet the requirements for
FDA approval. FDA approved urethane is available, special order.
UV RESISTANCE:
No UV (ultraviolet) stabilizers are added to Tapco
buckets because most elevator buckets are enclosed in casings.
Tapco buckets should not be exposed to direct sunlight for extended
periods of time.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Urethane buckets are ideal for use with pelletized
high fat and molasses feeds, extruded feeds, severe soybean, rice and
barley applications and other abrasive agricultural products. They are
excellent for extremely high throughput elevators.
LIMITATIONS:
Urethane buckets should not be used on the following: (1)
Materials over 212°F/100°C. (2) Large dense materials such as gravel
and ores over 3/8" in diameter. (3) Some sharp sluggish materials
such as large glass cullet. (4) Prolonged exposure to water or steam.
CAUTION:
Welding and cutting on elevator legs without taking proper
precautions is extremely dangerous and can cause a violent explosion.
Urethane buckets can be ignited and will burn from improper welding
and cutting.
IMPORTANT:
When elevating materials that harden or set up with
moisture, a Tapco steel digger bucket should replace every 10th
urethane bucket. See Digger Bucket page for specifications.
