Norstar Industries Grain Handling
Bucket Elevators

Norstar commercial Bucket Elevators are built to perform even in the harshest conditions. We utilize heavy-gauge steel in our trunking, boot and head sections to ensure structural integrity.

Norstar Bucket Elevators provide you with many options, they include, finish (Powder Coat, Galvanized and Stainless Steel), Variations of Distributors, Platforms, Support Towers, Catwalks, Staircases, and multiple types of Buckets.

Norstar Bucket Elevators have the capacity to achieve from 100-60,000 bushels per hour and a maximum of 200 feet tall. Contact us for more specifications.

Features and Benefits of Norstar Bucket Elevators

Simple and Quick Installation 

Norstar commercial Bucket Elevators can be erected quickly (a leg over 100′ tall can often be lifted in one single crane lift), saving you time and money.

High Capacity 

Norstar commercial Bucket Elevators are capable of moving products at capacities up to 60,000 BPH with single, double or triple wide bucket configurations depending on the specific requirements.

Built Strong

Our commercial trunking is built with heavy-gauge steel and all of our trunking seams are track welded instead of spot welded. This makes the trunking less susceptible to warp or damage and provides a much more weather-tight trunk.

Square Install

Each of our elevators is shipped with heavy-duty connector plates that are installed between trunking sections to provide rigidity and ensure a square installation.

Scofr Rubber Belting

We use Goodyear SCOFR (static conductive, oil resistant & fire retardant) rubber belting instead of plastic/poly belts because it is more adaptive and flexible in a wide range of climates.

Easy to Clean

Norstar’s Winged Boot Pulley prevents material buildup on the pulley face. All of our models feature Clean-Out Doors that easily slide open to access the elevator boot floor for cleaning.

Heavy Duty

Norstar Bucket Elevator drives are fitted with heavy-duty bearings and heavy-duty shafts. They also feature a heavy-duty shaft-mounted Dodge gearbox.

EZ-Flow Slow Dump Bucket Elevators

Norstar EZ-FLOW™ Bucket Elevators are designed specifically for the seed industry. A special chain and bucket design allows the seed to be conveyed vertically and slowly dumped at the desired discharge point, eliminating unnecessary impact on the seed.

Norstar En-Masse Chain Conveyors


Norstar Commercial En-Masse Chain Conveyors provide you with high capacity conveyance when moving almost any free-flowing material. With a 10 Gauge conveyor housing the En-Masse Chain Conveyor is durable.

The En-Masse Chain Conveyance system maximizes your efficiency with minimal horsepower requirements.

Norstar En-Masse Chain Conveyors are completely closed and self cleaning providing you the best contamination protection in the industry.

Norstar En-Masse Chain Conveyors are available in three finishes, Power Coat, Galvanized, and Stainless Steel.

The Norstar En-Masse Chain Conveyor has a maximum length of 150 feet and a top capacity of 60,000 bushels per hour. Contact us for more specifications.

Features and Benefits of Norstar En-Masse Chain Conveyors

Low Horsepower Requirements

The En-Masse works in such a way that the paddles drag along the conveyor floor, pushing the material at the bottom of the conveyor. The bottom layer of material that is moving carries all of the material lying on top of it along as well. This creates less torque which requires less horsepower.

Self Cleaning

All Norstar Drag Conveyors feature a curved back plate in the conveyor’s tail section that prevents material build up. The plate is attached to the tensioning system and moves along with adjustments to maintain close proximity to the conveyor paddles.

Minimized Maintenance Costs

UHMW paddles are gentle on the conveyor housing producing less wear. Maintaining/repairing the chain is as simple as adding or removing chain links compared to splicing belts or replacing auger flighting.

Maximized Fill Rate

Norstar En-Masse Drag Chain Conveyors feature a fully-enclosed housing with an open interior that promotes a higher fill rate than other forms of conveyance.

Quiet Operation and Minimal Wear

UHMW paddles are gentle on the conveyor housing and eliminate steel-on-steel contact. We use UHMW return rollers to ensure low impact chain support that minimizes noise and chain wear.

 

Protects Your Products Quality

Our elongated discharge allows material to exit the conveyor prior to the sprocket, eliminating crush/pinch points.

Norstar Incline Chain Conveyors


Norstar Commercial Incline Chain Conveyors provide you with high capacity conveyance when moving almost any free-flowing material. With a 10 Gauge conveyor housing the Incline Chain Conveyor is durable.

Norstar Incline Chain Conveyors are completely closed and self cleaning providing you the best contamination protection in the industry.

The Norstar Incline Chain Conveyor has a maximum length of 150 feet and a top capacity of 40,000 bushels per hour. Contact us for more specifications.

Features and Benefits of Norstar Incline Chain Conveyors

Self Cleaning 

All Norstar Drag Conveyors feature a curved back plate in the conveyor’s tail section that prevents material build up. The plate is attached to the tensioning system and moves along with adjustments to maintain close proximity to the conveyor paddles.The two-chamber divider plate is slotted to ensure that material slides through to the discharge and is not left in the return chamber.

Maintaining Capacity at a Steep Incline

Norstar Incline Drag Chain Conveyors have a two-chamber design that sees the discharge and return chambers divided by a steel plate. Larger UHMW paddles ensure that material can be moved at a steep incline within these chambers with minimal fall back.

Minimized Maintenance Costs

UHMW paddles are gentle on the conveyor housing producing less wear. Maintaining/repairing the chain is as simple as adding or removing chain links compared to splicing belts or replacing auger flighting. 

Steep Handling 

Our Incline Drag Conveyors can be equipped with elbow sections ranging from 15° to 45° in incline, allowing you to move your material where it needs to go.

Quiet Operation and Minimal Wear

UHMW paddles are gentle on the conveyor housing and eliminate steel-on-steel contact. We use UHMW return rollers to ensure low impact chain support that minimizes noise and chain wear.

 

Protects Your Products Quality

Our elongated discharge allows material to exit the conveyor prior to the sprocket, eliminating crush/pinch points.
