Olds Elevator - Bulk Material Conveyor

The innovative Olds Elevator is a Vertical Bulk Material Conveyor and volumetric feeder which efficiently and economically transports bulk solids while providing inherent protection against dust explosion. Considered to be a revolutionary bulk handling technology, it’s an ingenious advance in the field of bulk materials handling.

The Olds Elevator Technology is suited to a broad spectrum of materials and applications and offers significant advantages and benefits when compared to conventional bulk material elevator and conveyor technologies.

EMTT specialises in the Olds Elevator Technology offering expertise in the design, manufacture, installation, commissioning, and after sales care of bulk materials handling systems comprising this technology. EMTT is dedicated to providing customised cost-efficient solutions tailored to meet the specific requirements of our clients.

Advantages & Benefits

  • Simple design
  • Reliable performance
  • Low maintenance
  • Smooth pulsation-free delivery of material
  • Gentle on the product
  • Minimal dust generated
  • Inherent dust explosion prevention qualities
  • Low energy consumption
  • Relatively small footprint
  • Easily integrated into existing material transfer systems
  • Can operate on any inclination
  • Flexible installation options
  • Can be permanently installed, mobile, or semi-permanent
  • Suited to both indoor and outdoor applications
  • Use as a variable rate feeder
  • Quiet operation
  • The material in-feed is at the lowest point of the elevator, and can be at virtually floor level
  • Typically the discharge end has no bearings, seals or a drive, so discharge can be close to the ultimate headroom
  • The main drive system can be located in any position on the machine to enable easy mounting, wiring, and access
  • The rotating casing is the only moving component in contact with the material being transferred
  • No air compressors, vacuum, or dust control required
