The Olds Elevator allows you to elevate bulk materials at 90 degrees in under 10 square feet of floor space.  With simultaneous, precision volumetric flow control, you are able to radically reduce maintenance costs and changeover delays, while feeding multiple processes with a single elevator!  Combine this with dust-free elevation that virtually eliminates fire and explosion risks, and you have unlimited potential for solving even the most complex problem you may have with bulk material elevation.

Vertical Screws are used as an alternative to bucket elevators.  Generally the vertical lift is less than 30’.  In operation the vertical screw is force fed by a horizontal screw conveyor/feeder.  Material is elevated at 200 rpms.
