Dura Cast developed the rotationally molded Citrus Elevator Bucket to replace aging metal buckets for one of Florida's largest citrus processors. Longer life and lower maintenance costs than those offered by traditional metal elevator buckets were designed in.
The Dura-Cast Citrus Elevator Bucket is molded of FDA approved polyethylene resin that is compounded with UV stabilizers to extend its life and durability.
This elevator bucket eliminates:
- Expensive fabrication costs for metal buckets
- Bucket failures at welds and fabricated corners
- 50% of metal bucket weight
- Sanitation and maintenance problems caused by rust
- Processing slowdowns or stoppages due to elevator bucket failures
- Bucket replacements due to shape distortion
Because the rotationally molded polyethylene elevator buckets are lighter, clean easily, and retain their visual appeal over many years of use, your facility performs better, processes higher volumes, and operates at lower costs. This elevator bucket was designed to withstand the tough 24/7 operational requirements demanded by the citrus processing industry.
