OFFERING A GENTLE WAY OF HORIZONTAL

AND VERTICAL CONVEYING
Cimbria is one of the world's leading producers of conveying
equipment for agricultural and industrial products.

The Cimbria pendulum bucket elevators are delivered

worldwide as singular supplied equipment or as a part of a
total solution where they link key machines to form smoothly
running industrial plants.

The pendulum bucket elevator distinguishes itself by its

high degree of durability, safety of working and low power
consumption when compared to the capacity.

APPLICATION AND FUNCTION

Pendulum bucket elevators are used for very gentle vertical combination of belt conveyor and normal bucket elevator. The
conveying of all kinds of granular products. Especially in the seed pendulum bucket elevators produced by Cimbria can be delivered
sector they are the most suitable conveyors. They can also in two types, depending on the amount of product being
manage big horizontal distances thus being able to replace the conveyed.

MODULAR STRUCTURE
SQUARE SILOS
The pendulum bucket elevator distinguishes itself by the modular
design which makes it possible to design and manufacture elevators
that meet specific application requirements.
• The silo programme consists of e.g. large or small, square,
round or trapezoidal silo solutions for smooth surface, etc.

PENDULUM BUCKET ELEVATOR CONSTRUCTION

The incoming product is fed to the pendulum bucket elevator finally reach the outlet. There, each bucket is tilted and the
continuously and very gently by means of a vibratory feeder. product falling out is gently led into the outlet hopper.
The edges of the buckets overlap each other in the inlet section The pendulum bucket elevator can be equipped with a number of
and therefore prevent spillage of kernels. Due to the pivoted several inlets and outlets. Inlets can work at the same time,
mounting of buckets in the chain, buckets keep their horizontal while outlets are used one at a time, which means only one outlet
position all the way around in the conveyor until they is active momentarily.

INLET
The pendulum bucket elevator is flexible
in terms of the number of inlets. Equal
and constant filling of the buckets is
highly important for a good operation.
This can either be ensured by a vibratory
feeder or by means of the foregoing
machine which can, for instance, be
a screening machine with adjustable
feeding system, thus the product
reaches the pendulum bucket elevator
in a well dosed stream already. In such
a case, a simple flange inlet is sufficient.
Due to the overlapping of buckets as
well as cover-matting in the inlet section,
product loss comparable to the foot
section of a normal bucket elevator is
prevented.

TENSION STATION
The simple way of chain tensioning
via manual spindles ensures a steady
tracking ability of the chain and therefore
an even and steady transport of the
buckets.

CHAIN AND BUCKETS

The high-tensile, chromated chain
grants a long lifetime. Plastic buckets
reduce the necessary drive power and
at the same time treat the product to
be conveyed very gently. On demand,
also antistatic buckets can be offered
as an option.

MODULAR SYSTEM
ADAPTED TO YOUR
REQUIREMENTS

DRIVE
Cimbria is a producer of high-quality
machines. Therefore all geared motors
used on our pendulum bucket elevators
are supplied by SEW. Especially the
relatively low required drive power of
the pendulum bucket elevator means
energy saving and therefore reduction
in operation costs for our treasured
customers.
PBE 10: 1,1 – 1,5 kW
PBE 20: 1,5 – 2,2 kW

OVERLOAD SWITCH
The overload switch on the drive station
stops the drive immediately in case
of abnormal torque on the geared
motor, which is most likely caused by
an internal mechanical blockage of the
pendulum bucket elevators due to big
foreign parts coming in by accident.

OUTLET
The number of outlets on a pendulum
bucket elevator is flexible. One outlet is
always fixed, while additional ones are
either actuated by hand or pneumatically
by the central plant control panel. No
matter how the outlet is actuated, the
function is always the same: The bucket
reaches a crank which is mounted
on the side wall of the outlet section.
When the cam mounted on the side of
each bucket runs over this crank, the
bucket is tilted. This gentle way of tilting
prevents the product from getting any
hard knocks in the outlet zone, whereas
a normal bucket elevator throws out
the product into the outlet parable at
comparable high speed. The possibility
of several outlets further optimises the
flexibility of this conveyor and therefore
of customer's plant.

MODELS AND CAPACITIES

MODELS CAPACITIES
As standard, the pendulum bucket elevator is supplied as a Z, I The pendulum bucket elevator is available in two different types
or C-version. For special installations, the elevators are formed as based on a bucket filling degree of 75% and a chain speed of
a C-Z-version, an E-version, an angle Z-version or a double 0,35 m/s
Z–version, referred to as the stair version. Additionally, other
models can be supplied on request. • PBE 10 for max. 10,5 m3/h
• PBE 20 for max. 23 m3/h

BENEFITS

ASSEMBLY AND MAINTENANCE

The single sections of the pendulum bucket elevators are delivered
fully preassembled. Therefore, assembly on site is reduced to a
minimum, meaning that only the sections have to be connected
and chain plus buckets to be inserted.

Levelling feet ease the straightening on site. Generous maintenance

doors and sight windows grant a good view and access to the
inside of the machine for control and maintenance purposes.
Single spilling kernels can quickly be removed out of collecting
drawers mounted in the bottom of horizontal sections.
