See this 10 inch diameter, 20 foot
tall Olds elevator move more than 30 tons per hour of plastic
beads with only a 7.5 hp motor. This same elevator, with a
slightly larger motor, can move 85 tons per hour of sand. Look
inside the discharge head to learn how Olds elevators are precision
volumetric feeders operating with accuracies of 1% -3% @2 Sigma
in a vertical position. See how Olds elevators virtually eliminate
the potential for a dust explosion to occur while elevating.
The casing operates in a flooded mode with insufficient air
to support combustion.
The Olds Elevator utilizes a static
screw and a rotating casing to gently elevate a broad spectrum
of bulk granular and powdered materials. Shown here with soap
powder the Olds elevator is a highly accurate volumetric feeder
as well (1% - 3% at 2 Sigma). Since it operates in a flooded
mode it will not support conditions that can lead to dust explosions.
From 1 TPH to 100 TPH and from 2 lbs./cu.ft. to 300 lbs./cu.ft
the Olds elevator delivers a smooth, steady discharge of product
with no pulsations.
