Bucket Elevator Calculator

Calculate bucket elevator capacity, motor power, and bucket sizing for cement plant material handling

How to Use This Calculator

Select material density: cement=94, limestone=85, coal=50, clinker=80 lbs/ft³ or use presets (Light/Medium/Heavy)
Enter elevator height: and choose a bucket size preset
Adjust parameters if needed: speed, spacing, bucket dimensions, and fill %
Click Calculate: see elevator capacity (STPH & metric TPH), motor power, bucket volume, and buckets per foot
