The SS or Super Strength Alaska-Buket is the original plastic elevator bucket. The Super Strength elevator bucket has been running for over 50 years. It is designed at a 45-degree discharge angle, and can be spaced closer on a belt giving a clean superior discharge.
This bucket is lightweight and tapered for easy shipping and storage. Standard Spacing is nominal projection + 1”. The most common applications include grain, wheat, corn, flour, sugar, and other agricultural applications.
The SS is the most versatile designed bucket that performs well in a broad range of speeds and applications.

Drilling - Elevator buckets are manufactured without a drill pattern. Special drilling or punching can be accommodated upon customer request.
Venting - Available as needed.
Digger Buckets - Use slightly larger metal digger elevator buckets to help loosen material in the elevator boot section that has set up or hardened, thereby reducing abrasion on the plastic buckets. Call for details on Metal Digger elevator bucket options.
Spacing - See elevator bucket spacing details in the Alaska Bucket chart above (depending on materials and speeds, smaller and larger spacing may be used).
Installation - Use a #1 standard elevator bolt or Sabre-Tooth elevator bolt for installation. Designed to be used with fender or flat and lock washers and hex or locking nuts. If buckets are being installed on chain, use hex head bolts, nuts and washers.
Adapter Plates - Recommended for chain mounting applications.
FDA - Both the urethane and polyethylene are designed to FDA specifications for direct contact with food products.
