Each OLDS ELEVATOR™ Vertical
Bulk Material Conveyor* is built to the customer’s requirements.
Components can be constructed from a variety of materials,
including stainless steel, to suit the application.
The product intake can be located anywhere on the circumference
of the cylinder, and as low as floor level (or below).
While the standard configuration is vertical, units can
be configured in any inclined position between 45° and
90°.
Early applications utilizing casings from 6 to 35 feet tall,
with diameters of 2-1/2 to 8 inches have elevated up to 25 tons of material per hour!
The exclusive Olds Elevator™ technology
is scaleable to far larger systems.

Olds Elevators™ equipped
with variable speed motors and controllers can be used as volumetric
feeders. Flow rates can be precisely controlled from 0 to the maximum
flow rate of the elevator. Eliminate overhead storage hoppers. Save valuable
floor space. Use the Olds Elevator™ as
a combination elevator/volumetric feeder.
We are currently testing various materials to quantify the
accuracy of the OLDS
ELEVATOR™ as a volumetric feeder. Preliminary
tests have shown accuracy repeatability of 1% at II Sigma
at 150 rpm and 2.5% at II Sigma for higher rpms.
