General Notes for other materials:
AC CAST ELEVATOR BUCKETS
DUCTILE IRON AND URETHANE
STYLE AC BUCKETS
STYLE: AC.
DESIGN: Centrifugal discharge.
material: Ductile iron.
METHOD OF MANUFACTURE: Cast.
COLOR: Gray.
TEMPERATURE RANGE: -60° F to + 800° F. (-51° C to +426° C).
DRILLING: No charge for standard belt or chain drillings when order totals
50 or more pieces of the same size. Contact Tapco for quotation on
orders of less than 50 and/or special drill pattern requirements.
VENTING: Standard with four 9/32" diameter holes.
USABLE CAPACITY: Tapco recommends using 75% of gross,
(100%) capacity.
SPACING: Acommon minimum spacing would be nominal projection plus
4", however both closer and greater spacings may be used depending
upon the application.
RECOMMENDATIONS: AC ductile iron buckets are ideal for use with
foundry sand, gravel, coal, fertilizer, clay, salt, and many other
industrial materials.
INTERCHANGEABILITY: Can be intermixed with existing cast iron,
fabricated steel, or nonmetallic buckets. Some care should be
taken that the leg does not become too far out of balance. Bucket
projection varies by manufacturer and material. Check elevator for
proper clearances. Contact Tapco for recommendations.
INSTALLATION: On belt: Fanged elevator bolts and nylon insert lock
nuts are recommended. Flat steel washers must be placed inside
the bucket under the nuts.
On chain: Use Grade 5 hex head bolts with hex nuts, fat washers,
and lock washers. Elevator bolts should not be used on chain
attachments.
CAUTION: Welding and cutting on elevator legs without taking proper
precautions is extremely dangerous and can cause a violent
explosion.
DUCTILE IRON TECHNICAL INFORMATION:
IMPORTANT: When elevating certain materials that harden or setup with moisture, a Tapco metallic digger bucket should replace every
10th nonmetallic bucket. In some instances metallic buckets will not have suffcient projection to protect the nonmetallic bucket. It will be
necessary to use a pad or spacer behind the digger bucket. Contact Tapco for recommendations.
