“SC” Bucket Configuration 		Super-Capacity Buckets

Continuous buckets are available in “lap­ping” with “non-lapping” bucket ends. Lap­ped ends have improved side containment and are frequently used for extremely-fine materials with fluid charactistics..
Long-pitch chains are available in lengths of 6", 7", 9", 10", 12", 18", and 24" for buckets to 233/4" deep.

Head sprockets for Super-Capacity elev­ators are specified "keyed-in-line & match­ed in pairs" to assure align­ment.
Chains are "matched and tagged right-hand and left-hand pairs".
Boot sprockets secured in place with set-collars on the shaft – one set-screwed in place, and the other free to rotate.

2 chain pitch­es per bucket. Short pit­ches rotate more smooth­ly at head and boot sprock­et or wheel, allow smal­ler PD.

1 chain pitch per bucket. Chain pit­ch is equal to buck­et dep­th, and is available up to 24" (61 CM) long.
