    Reversible Discharge Spout
    By simply removing the bolts from the spout and cover plate, the discharge direction can be altered without breaking the chain assembly.

    Bidirectional Discharge Spout
    Products can be simultaneously discharged from both sides of the elevator should separate bins or machines need to be fed at the same time.

    Switch Valve Discharge Spout
    Products can be discharged from either side by a manual, pneumatic, or electrically actuated switch valve.

  • Ladders, Fall Arrest System, Rest and Service Platforms

    OSHA compliant ladders, fall arrest system, and rest and serve platforms area all optional features than can be included in your specific design.

  • Bolted Assembly

    The legging can be shipped broken down, thereby reducing freight costs.

  • Positive Clean Out Boot

    The boot is tapered to a drawer action assembly which when opened, completely empties the boot. Built in boot clearance above the floor enables quicker, more effective clean outs and maintains proper sanitation.

Operating the Easy Dump Elevator

The principles of operation for an LMC Easy Dump Elevator are very simple, straightforward and effective. From a spouting system, the product is transferred into the buckets. The buckets travel up the legging until they are pulled around the first set of sprockets as shown in the illustration. The buckets are gently tilted and the product dispenses into the discharge hopper. From this hopper, the product feeds through a spout to your designated destination. The buckets continue in this cycle and provide a continuous, smooth flow of product with very little damage to the product.
