Premium Elevator Buckets & Replacement Parts for Conveyor Systems
Food-grade, industrial, and heavy-duty elevator buckets
– Plus chains, sprockets, and guide rails.
100% compatibility confirmed before every order.
OEM/ODM available.
One Source for Every Bucket Elevator Component
When a bucket elevator stops, the entire packaging or processing line stops with it. Whether the failure point is a cracked bucket, a stretched chain, or a worn sprocket, the cost is not the part — it is the downtime. This is why compatibility, material quality, and delivery speed matter more than unit price when sourcing elevator buckets and replacement parts.
Fill & Package supplies the full range of bucket elevator components for Z-type, vertical, and industrial conveyor systems: plastic and steel elevator buckets in standard and custom sizes, ANSI-compliant roller chains, sprockets, nylon guide rails, and conveyor chain plates. Every order includes a technical drawing confirmation — so the part fits the first time.

Which Material Is Right for Your Application?
| Material | Max. Temp. | Best For | Key Advantage | Grade |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Food-Grade PP | 80°C | Food, grain, pharma | FDA compliant, lightweight, chemical-resistant, cost-effective | Food Grade |
| ABS | 70°C | Impact-heavy environments | Superior impact strength vs PP; resists chipping | Industrial |
| Nylon (PA) | 120°C | High-wear, high-temp | 3–4× wear life vs PP; handles abrasive materials | Heavy Duty |
| PE | 60°C | Cold environments | Excellent low-temperature flexibility; lowest cost | Food Grade |
| 304 Stainless Steel | 300°C+ | Washdown, high-temp, corrosive | USDA/FDA compliant; withstands CIP cleaning | Premium |
⚠️Virgin Resin vs. Recycled Material — What to Check
The most common reason Chinese elevator buckets fail prematurely is recycled resin instead of virgin material. Recycled PP or ABS leads to micro-cracking within 2–3 months. Ask for a material certification confirming virgin resin. At Fill & Package, we provide material test reports on request.
How to Order the Right Bucket — 4 Dimensions
Whether you are replacing a single cracked bucket or restocking a maintenance inventory, you need four dimensions to guarantee a perfect fit. This applies whether your elevator is a Yamato, Nerak, Flexicon, Gough, or any other brand.
📐 The 4 Critical Dimensions
Measure and send us these four values — or send a photo of your existing bucket with a ruler for scale. We will confirm the matching part number or initiate a custom mold if no standard size matches.
A — Hole Distance (Pitch) | B — Bucket Length | C — Bucket Width | D — Bucket Depth
Standard and custom sizes available. Not sure which size? Just send us these 4 dimensions and we will identify the exact replacement — or custom-mold a bucket to match your existing elevator within ±0.3mm tolerance.
| Common Z-Type Sizes | Capacity | Hole Distance (A) | Bucket Width (C) | Bucket Depth (D) | Compatible With |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard 1.8L | 1.8L | 412mm / 416mm | 155mm | 130mm | Yamato, Ishida, most Asian OEMs |
| Standard 4L | 4.0L | 416mm / 420mm | 220mm | 160mm | Nerak, Gough, Flexicon |
| Standard 6L | 6.0L | 420mm / 424mm | 280mm | 185mm | Industrial grain elevators |
| Bowl 0.8L–1.5L | 0.8–1.5L | Custom | Custom | Custom | C-type and arc conveyor lines |
| DS / DQ Industrial | 2L–20L | Per drawing | Per drawing | Per drawing | Grain, chemical, cement industries |
Compatible with All Major Chinese Z-Type Elevator Brands
Our elevator buckets, chains, and sprockets are manufactured as direct replacement parts for the Z-type and C-type elevator systems supplied by major Chinese packaging machinery manufacturers. Parts are confirmed against your machine’s existing specifications before production — not after delivery.
Compatible brands include: Shanghai Dahe Packaging · Guangdong Kenwei · Anhui UUPAC · Guangdong Xinghuo · and all other Chinese OEM elevator brands
No brand? No problem. Most Chinese Z-type elevators use one of four standardised mounting widths: 412mm, 416mm, 418mm, or 420mm. If you know your mounting width and bucket volume, we can confirm compatibility without knowing the machine brand at all — covering unbranded OEM machines, white-label lines, and custom-built elevators where no documentation exists.
Not sure of your dimensions? Send us a photo of your existing bucket, chain, or sprocket with a ruler for scale. Our team can identify the correct replacement specification for 95% of Chinese Z-type elevator systems currently in production — within 24 hours.

Yes. By providing the hole distance (pitch) and bucket width, we can match or custom-mold buckets to fit 95% of international elevator brands. Send us a photo of the existing bucket with a ruler for scale, or the four key dimensions (A: hole distance, B: length, C: width, D: depth), and we will confirm the matching part number within 24 hours.
We recommend reinforced food-grade Polypropylene (PP) for temperatures up to 80°C — it covers the vast majority of food processing applications, is FDA and EU 10/2011 compliant, and provides the best balance of durability and cost. For temperatures above 80°C or high-abrasion environments, specify Nylon (PA). For direct food contact in wet washdown environments, 304 Stainless Steel is the correct specification. All our food-grade materials are manufactured from certified virgin resin — not recycled material.
To ensure 100% compatibility, verify the center-to-center hole distance, the bucket profile (Z-type, bowl-type, or DS/DQ industrial), and the material grade. Additionally, request a material test report to confirm virgin resin — not recycled material — and ask whether the supplier will issue a drawing confirmation before production. At Fill & Package, we provide technical drawing confirmations for every spare part order, and we ship samples before bulk production on request.
Measure a 10-link section of the chain under light load. If the measured length exceeds the nominal pitch × 10 by more than 2–3%, the chain has elongated past its service limit and should be replaced. Visual indicators include inconsistent bucket spacing, chain jumping or skipping on the sprocket, and visible roller wear or rust. Replacing the chain at the 2–3% elongation point prevents the accelerated sprocket wear that occurs when a stretched chain runs on new sprocket teeth.
We supply both. Our primary business is replacement parts — elevator buckets, chains, sprockets, guide rails, and rollers — for OEM machine manufacturers and maintenance buyers. We also supply complete Z-type bucket elevator assemblies for new packaging line integrations. If you need a complete elevator integrated with a multihead weigher or packaging machine, see our Z-type elevator for snack and food applications.
Standard sizes (1.8L, 4L, 6L Z-type buckets and common DS/DQ industrial sizes) are available from 100 pieces MOQ with no tooling charge. Custom sizes require a new mold: MOQ is 1,000 pieces and the mold cost is a one-time charge fully amortised into the unit price at agreed volumes. OEM labelling and private-label catalog numbers are available from the same MOQ thresholds.
