Standard elevator buckets discharge product at a single point \u2014 the discharge chute at the top of the elevator head. For a line with a single downstream weigher, this is sufficient. For a line with two or three parallel weighers or filling heads, a single-outlet elevator creates a distribution bottleneck.<\/p>\n<p>The conventional solution to this problem is to add a distribution conveyor between the elevator discharge and the multiple weighers \u2014 an additional machine with its own footprint, maintenance requirement, and failure modes. The multi-outlet bucket eliminates this extra step.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><b>How multi-outlet buckets work<\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>A multi-outlet Z type elevator bucket has two or three discharge openings at different positions along the bucket&#8217;s width, rather than a single central opening.
