INDUSTRIAL BUCKET ELEVATORS Se continentall|_ Ruggedly built for a long service life in a wide range of applications Continental Bucket Elevators are one of the most cient, economical and reliable means of ele vating virtually any loose bulk material. A standard range of units allows for quick andsimpleselaction Of the best elevator for the application in question, and denefits the customer by dispensing with the time and expense of engineering special elevators. These factors coupled witn the low initial capital oullay and minimal maintenanes requicemants uring their long service life make them ore of the most popular methoes of continuously elevating bulk material Every elevator described herein isthe procuet of Continentals extensive expenence In tho. design and. manufacture of Suik. materal "handling equipment.
