STYLE:
AC.
DESIGN:
Centrifugal discharge.
material:
Ductile iron.
METHOD OF MANUFACTURE:

COLOR
:
Gray.
TEMPERATURE RANGE:
-60° F to + 800° F. (-51° C to +426° C).

SPACING:
A common minimum spacing would be nominal projection
plus 4", however both closer and greater spacings may be used
depending upon the application.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
AC ductile iron buckets are ideal for use with
foundry sand, gravel, coal, fertilizer, clay, salt, and many other
industrial materials.
INTERCHANGEABILITY:
Can be intermixed with existing cast iron,
fabricated steel, or nonmetallic buckets. Some care should be
taken that the leg does not become too far out of balance. Bucket
projection varies by manufacturer and material. Check elevator for
proper clearances. Contact Tapco for recommendations.
INSTALLATION:
On belt:
Fanged elevator bolts and nylon insert lock
nuts are recommended.
Flat steel washers must be placed inside
the bucket under the nuts.
On chain
: Use Grade 5 hex head bolts with hex nuts, flat washers,
and lock washers.
Elevator bolts should not be used on chain
attachments.
CAUTION:
Welding and cutting on elevator legs without taking proper
precautions is extremely dangerous and can cause a violent
explosion.
