The OLDS static screw ELEVATOR* is a revolutionary NEW method for vertically elevating bulk materials.

OLDS ELEVATORS have only one moving part and as the casing rotates bulk material is picked up and efficiently elevated vertically. Smooth and quiet in operation, the metered delivery rate is infinitely controllable from zero to many hundred RPM with the variable speed drive. Olds Elevators gently lift even fragile and difficult to handle materials with negligible damage. Respected Bulk Materials Handling Industry experts are hailing the new revolutionary Olds Elevator breakthrough technology. Olds Elevators are already working efficiently in 5 countries now with repeat orders following. It is not just another screw elevator. The new Olds Elevator, a revolutionary breakthrough that is unlike all other screw elevators in so many better ways.

" It's a new method that is more predictable, more reliable, more product friendly and less maintenance prone than conventional elevators. Quite simply, it will perform the duty that other screw elevators won't " - Mr. Lyn Bates, bulk materials handling expert, Ajax Equipment Ltd, England.

" What a unique device this is. Imagine replacing a bucket elevator with something that won't break down, is unaffected by material temperature, can handle wet or damp product and only has one moving part... brilliant, read on! " - Joe Taylor, Editor of www.powderandbulk.com.

Benefits
Olds Engineering is pleased to announce a new concept of vertically elevating various products to Storage Bins, Bunkers, Hoppers etc. The patented elevator has been successfully tested on products such as peas, beans, bread crumbs, coal fines, dried food, flour, plastic powder, wet and dry sand, rice, coffee beans, granulated coffee, nuts, steel shot, peanut kernels various grains and seeds, sugar, wet sulphur slurry, dry sulphur and molasses.

  • Performance is more predictable, more reliable, more product friendly, more product tolerant and much less maintenance prone than conventional elevators.
  • The pick up height is at the lowest point of the elevator, and can be at virtually floor level.
  • The transfer rate is volumetrically proportional to speed, so the machine can be used as a variable rate feeder.
  • Feed material can be entered from any sector of the machine's pick up point.
  • As the discharge end has no bearings, seals or a drive, discharge can be close to the ultimate headroom.
  • The discharge can be divided into two or more sectors.
  • There is virtually no limit to the length of the machine.
  • Bearings are totally external to the product flow and accessible for maintenance.
  • The drive can be located at any position on the housing, to suit easy mounting, wiring and access
