FDA STATUS:
Impact modified nylon does not meet requirements for
FDA approval. FDA compliant nylon is available by 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:
Nylon buckets are extremely strong. They are
unsurpassed in rough or severe service elevators. The outstanding
abrasion resistant characteristics make this an excellent bucket for
grain, soybeans, feeds, fertilizer, chemicals, sand and other free-
flowing products.
LIMITATIONS:
Nylon buckets should not be used in the following: (1)
Materials over 275°F/135°C. (2) Large dense material such as gravel
and ore over 3/8" diameter. (3) Some sharp sluggish materials such
as large glass cullet or oyster shells.
CAUTION:
Welding and cutting on elevator legs without taking proper
precautions is extremely dangerous and can cause a violent explosion.
Nylon buckets can be ignited and will burn from improper welding
and cutting.
IMPORTANT:
When elevating certain materials that harden or set up
with moisture, a Tapco steel digger bucket should replace every 10th
nylon bucket.
