SAFETY IS PRIORITY
UniMAX® elevators are built with the provisions to install hazardous monitoring equipment. The boot and head casings have removable covers to install belt alignment sensors and boot shafts are drilled and tapped for speed sensors. The boot bearing guards offer a take up location indicator and knock outs to access grease zerks and installation of bearing temperature sensors.
BUCKET ELEVATOR HEAD
Our UniMAX® Head has been designed with a crowned drum pulley with slide lagging and inspection doors for inspecting the buckets, belt, slide lagging, deflector pad, and discharge throat. We also include jack bolts to assist with shimming the bearings and lifting eyes on the lower head, up-leg and down-leg casings for rigging and maintenance. With safety in mind, we also include removable covers for installation of belt alignment sensors.
INTERMEDIATE SECTIONS AND LEGS
Our intermediate section are constructed with seam welded 12 gauge trunking built in a jig. We offer an optional upgrade to 10 gauge for heavier construction and include an access section for easy maintenance of buckets and belts.
BELTING AND BUCKETS
We offer standard rubber belting with PVC, high temp, and food grade options available upon request. HDPE Buckets come standard with all units but optional carbon steel, stainless steel, nylon, and urethane buckets are available as well.
