PRODUCT GUIDE
Welcome to the Fourth Edition of the Tapco Product Guide.

Dear Friends:
We are proud to be celebrating over 30 years in the business of producing the best nonmetallic elevator buckets in the
industry! We were incorporated in October of 1974. This edition contains, along with everything from the third edition,
several new and exciting items that will be of interest to you.
Following the success of our 9 projection CC-HD (Heavy Duty) buckets, we are now excited to announce the 20 x 10
CC-XD, the first of our 10 projection buckets in the new CC-XD (Xtreme Duty) design. It will have incredible carrying
capacity and strength. Production will be made in polyethylene, urethane and nylon. These CC-XD buckets start on page 18.

We are also having great acceptance of our new industrial style AA buckets. This is our complete new line of injection
molded buckets. These new molds bring our nonmetallic AA buckets into conformance with the original mill standard design
the true industry standard. These buckets begin on page 40.
Please check page 34 for information on our new line of Super EuroBuckets. These buckets are a direct interchange with
existing pressed steel buckets from Europe. We are very pleased with the success of these new buckets.
Specifications for our digger buckets begin on page 28. Along with the digger buckets, we have added further information
on our well established line of steel fabricated buckets. They range from styles AA to SC. Specs start on page 50.
We have also added the highly proven Scandura Dura-SpliceTM elevator belt fastener to our line. This splice, along with the
popular Jackson Plate Belt Fastener, gives Tapco the widest range of elevator belt splices on the market. Both styles are
stocked for immediate shipment from Tapco to you.
Soas we begin our fourth decade, you can see why we are excited about this new catalog. Please contact any of us at
Tapco with questions that you may have about these new products or enhancements. We are eager to serve your elevator
needs for at least the next 30 years!

The Largest Manufacturer of Elevator Buckets in North America

Tapco Inc. was conceived in the early 1970s by Paul D. Taylor, President and Ted W. Beaty, Executive Vice President,
to fill a void in the elevator bucket industry. At that time, there were only a small number of nonmetallic buckets
manufactured in the U.S.A. All the other buckets were made from fabricated steel. With the inherent problems
of steel buckets and the limited range of the existing polyethylene styles, the time was right for Tapco.
The name Tapco is derived from, Ted And Pauls Company. The company has been in its own 75,000 square
foot facility for over 20 years. Tapco has eight (8) injection molding machines ranging from a small 150 ton
to a very large 1,000 ton press. This allows us to make our entire range of buckets in the most expedient and
quality controlled manner. Tapco stocks the largest inventory of elevator buckets and bolts in the world; some
900,000 buckets and 12,000,000 bolts. We also have the largest inventory of abrasion resistant sheeting, drag
flights and hanger bearings in North America. We have the products that you need, when you need them, and
at a competitive price! Our staff is geared to handle the most urgent of emergencies.
We at Tapco feel the future is unlimited. There are plans for new and different products relating to bulk material
handling. Our exporting is growing every day. We have shipped to more than fifty different countries around
the world. Stocking distributors are located strategically in North America, Central America, South America,
Australia, Western Europe and the Pacific Rim. This segment of the market is keyed for further growth.
Tapco is continuously researching new technologies to better serve our customers. Product research has been
a priority for many years. Innovations in the companys state of the art processing enables Tapco to meet the
customized needs of its diverse customers. Tapco uses the highest quality material for their buckets; 100%
prime virgin high density linear polyethylene, impact modified nylon and thermoplastic urethane.
Our mission at Tapco is to provide the highest value products and service at the best price. The company's
focus is on building and maintaining "Solid and Reputable" relationships with its customers. With our high
quality staff, we are able to serve your needs promptly. Most importantly, we appreciate and are proud of you,
our customer. We look forward to serving you for many more years, and welcome any suggestions on how we
can work closer in the future.

When corn and soybean loads substantially increased,
we needed buckets we could rely on for fast throughput.

The Tapco 9" CC-HD buckets actually OVER PERFORMED
and increased our bph capacity.
Lanny Klett, Rake Location Manager

FARMERS COOPERATIVE CO.
Rake, Iowa, U.S.A.
How Tapco Buckets Make Legs Run Faster
Business is booming at the Farmers Cooperative Company (FC) in

Rake, Iowa. In fact, last year the volume of corn and soybeans
unloaded from trucks and wagons
increased substantially. In July 2003,
FC upgraded one leg with a 72"
pulley. Three months later,
another leg was built with a 48"
pulley. Both legs were equipped

Polyethylene Urethane Nylon
CC-HD buckets.
Rake Location Manager Lanny Klett says, We told Tapco what we

were looking for and they made a recommendation. We trusted
Tapco because of their reputation and experience.
Klett explains, The leg with the 72" pulley handles 27,000 bushels per
hour (bph) and the leg with the 48" pulley handles 26,000. That is
pretty impressive since the smaller pulley works harder, and the Tapco
buckets are rated at 25,000-bph. Weve had the same success using
Tapco buckets on our other legs, too.
The new Tapco 9" buckets enabled FC to increase their
capacity from 50,000 to 53,000-bph without breaking
stride. Faster handling makes everyone happy, including
our customers, Klett says, which is why Id recommend
Tapco buckets to others.

We used metal buckets that tore

AE STALEY, a division of Tate & Lyle North America
Lafayette, Indiana, U.S.A.
Some Tapco Customers Like Our Buckets So Much,

They May Never Order Them Again
Our facility runs 365 days a year. We receive corn 12 hours a day
by truck and dump rail corn by night which keeps the belts in both
of our elevator legs moving,
John Voight, AE Staley explains.
When the plant was built in
1976 they used metal buckets. But
those would tear and scrape
against the metal legs and cause
friction which is a major hazard
STYLE CC-HD
in grain facilities where dust

explosions can happen.
We went to green urethane buckets to solve the problem, but they
just shattered in the winter. When Id change them out,
the only thing left was the back of the bucket bolted on. It was
a joke.
Voight decided to put numerous types of buckets to the test in actual
working conditions. Using many brands, he put the buckets on a belt
intermittently and ran it to see what would happen.
The Tapco nylon buckets were the only ones that stood up, he
says. They wear good, are strong and have accurate capacity. Since
we replaced the buckets, Ive never lost one.
In fact, Tapco buckets continue to perform so well, Voight just
purchased 280 more to replace existing steel buckets, enabling him
to completely change out a pellet elevator leg at the plant.
Which means I guess I wont be talking to my distributor
anytime too soon. Fortunately with success stories like
this, a lot of other people will.
With 600,000 buckets in 60 sizes, stocked in
the U.S.A. and throughout the world, you
can count on Tapco to help keep your
facility running at top performance.

After two years, we took down the buckets and
compared. Others were worn out, but the Tapco

To Handle the Rough Stuff, Talk Turkey With Tapco

Although West Michigan Mills is not located in Tapcos home state
of Missouri, Maintenance Supervisor John Looman appreciates the
Show Me state motto and recommends that others use it when
evaluating buckets.
STYLE CC-HD
Urethane SEVERE DUTY Elevator Bucket
Polyethylene Nylon
Turkey and hog feed pellets are very

rough and abrasive, Looman
explains. So after reviewing wear
characteristics, we ordered 25 buckets
from several manufacturers and
installed them to see how they would
hold up under real conditions.
West Michigan Mills has been processing more than 2,100 tons of
feed each week for more than 30 years and knew the buckets were
in for a real workout.
Other brands completely wore out and had to be replaced way too fast,
Looman says. But I got a real awakening last week. We checked the
Tapco 12" x 7" CC-HD urethane buckets for the first time in two years
and they looked EXACTLY the same as the day we installed them!
When something good happens, I like to say it,
Looman confirms. Tapco urethane buckets really perform
like they say they will even when others fall apart.
Which is probably why 80% of design engineers,
contractors and bucket elevator manufacturers in
the U.S.A. specify Tapco buckets*.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION
STYLE: CC-HD (Heavy Duty) and U-HD (Heavy Duty).
DESIGN: High speed centrifugal discharge.
MATERIAL: High density linear polyethylene.
METHOD OF MANUFACTURE: Injection molded.
COLOR: Blue. White, special order for flour, sugar, etc..
TEMPERATURE RANGE: -60F to + 200F/-51C to + 93C.
FLAMMABILITY: The high density polyethylene used in Tapco buckets
is termed slow burning. It has been tested under ASTM Test No. D635.
It also meets the criteria for approval under the Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard No. 302 and Underwriters Laboratory Bulletin No. 94.
Combustion in an excess of air results in harmless by-products (fumes)
which are nontoxic.
STANDARD DRILLING: No Charge.
SPECIAL DRILLING: Any pattern and hole diameter can be provided at
minimal cost.
VENTING: Available in five standard patterns. See page 78 for
specifications.
USABLE CAPACITY: Net or usable capacity could range from 10% to
20% above water level. For engineering purposes Tapco recommends
using WL (Water Level) + 10% for usable capacity.
SPACING: Minimum bucket spacing has historically been nominal
projection plus 2". Many style CC buckets, however, are being used at
projection plus 1", and some even closer. For engineering purposes
Tapco recommends using nominal projection plus 2".
INTERCHANGEABILITY: Can be intermixed with existing steel or
nonmetallic buckets. Some consideration should be given to balance.
Bucket projection varies by manufacturer and material. Check elevator
for proper clearances. Contact Tapco for recommendations.
INSTALLATION: Fanged elevator bolts and nylon insert lock nuts are
recommended for pulleys 6" in diameter and over. No. 3 Eclipse
slotted head elevator bolts are recommended for pulleys under 6" in
diameter. Flat steel washers must be placed inside the bucket
under the nuts. Check elevator for proper clearances.
FDA STATUS: Polyethylene used meets the requirements of the Food
Additives Law and Regulation No. 177.1520. Blue pigment meets
Regulations No. 175.300 and 177.2600.
UV RESISTANCE: No UV (ultraviolet) stabilizers are added to Tapco
buckets because most elevator buckets are enclosed in casings.
Tapco buckets should not be exposed to direct sunlight for extended
periods of time.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Polyethylene buckets are ideal for use with grains,
feeds, fertilizers, seeds, food products, chemicals, sand, salt and most
free flowing agricultural products handled in bucket elevators.
LIMITATIONS: Polyethylene buckets should not be used with the following:
(1) Materials over 200F/93C. (2) Sharp edged materials such as
crushed glass or oyster shells. (3) Large dense materials such as
gravel and ores over 3/8" diameter. (4) A few extremely abrasive and
sluggish materials such as dried whey, some pellets and extruded
feeds. (5) Some severe soybean and rice applications.
CAUTION: Welding and cutting on elevator legs without taking proper
precautions is extremely dangerous and can cause a violent explosion.
Polyethylene buckets can be ignited and will burn from improper
welding and cutting.
IMPORTANT: When elevating certain materials that harden or set up
with moisture, a Tapco steel digger bucket should replace every 10th
polyethylene bucket. See page 24 for specifications

Tapco recommends using WL (water level) fill + 10% for usable capacity. A gross capacity figure is no longer provided as it is inappropriate for rating an
agricultural elevator bucket.
NOTE ON DESIGN: Over 30 years ago, Tapco Inc. introduced the first Heavy Duty nonmetallic elevator bucket to the agricultural industry. This
bucket, manufactured in the highly proven CC style, soon became the standard of the industry. Now, as design engineers, manufacturers, and
elevator operators demand more from their legs in both throughput and extended life, Tapco is proud to introduce its new line of CC-XD Xtreme
Duty elevator buckets. These buckets, molded in the same CC style, industry proven since 1935, offer benefits not found in other brands. They
have the exact same capacities and discharge characteristics as our CC-HD buckets. This allows the designer, manufacturer or operator to
directly interchange existing CC-HD buckets with the new CC-XD and maintain the same precise operating parameters that are expected from a
correctly engineered bucket. The Tapco line of XD Xtreme Duty buckets will be expanded, in 2006, to include some fourteen of the most popular
sizes. All buckets will be produced in polyethylene, nylon and urethane. Please contact us with your requirements and expectations.

RECOMMENDATIONS: Urethane buckets are ideal for use with pelletized,
high fat and molasses feeds, extruded feeds, severe soybean, rice and
barley applications and other abrasive agricultural products. They are
excellent for extremely high throughput elevators.
LIMITATIONS: Urethane buckets should not be used on the following: (1)
Materials over 212F/100C. (2) Large dense materials such as gravel
and ores over 3/8" in diameter. (3) Some sharp sluggish materials
such as large glass cullet.

IMPORTANT: When elevating materials that harden or set up with
moisture, a Tapco steel digger bucket should replace every 10th
urethane bucket.

Tapco Low Profile buckets are designed to increase elevator capacity by allowing closer bucket
spacing on the belt. They are a modified (cut-down) version of our buckets, varying only in depth
and weight. Application, performance, discharge and all other characteristics are exactly the same
as our buckets of the same material.
Guide to engineering Low Profile elevator buckets:
Usable capacity: Water level (WL) +5%.
Recommended spacing: 1" less than nominal projection.
Consideration should be given to belt strength, horsepower, mechanical requirements and
system ability to handle additional weight and volume.
Contact Tapco Inc. for additional engineering assistance.

Super EuroBuckets are designed to replace Super Starco, Jet and other European manufactured elevator buckets
NOTE ON STYLE: For over fifteen years, Tapco has been providing low profile buckets to replace European style buckets manufactured in steel. These buckets have been a modification of our full sized CC-HD style. While the modified
buckets performed beyond expectations, Tapco realized there was still a need for a true European style bucket. In late
1999, we presented our first Super EuroBuckets to the industry. These buckets, produced from new molds, are a direct
interchange with European brands of steel buckets. Currently there are ten sizes in stock. Until all sizes are added to the
Super EuroBucket line, we suggest using one of the CC-HD low profile buckets to meet your needs. The combination of
low profile and Super EuroBuckets gives Tapco the widest range of nonmetallic European style buckets on the market.
Please contact us with any questions about interchangeability.

order.
UV RESISTANCE: No UV (ultraviolet) stabilizers are added to
Tapco buckets because most elevator buckets are enclosed in
casings. Tapco buckets should not be exposed to direct sunlight
for extended periods.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Urethane buckets are ideal for use with
pelletized high fat and molasses feeds, extruded feeds, severe
soybean, rice and barley applications and other abrasive agricultural
products. They are excellent for extremely high throughput
elevators.
LIMITATIONS: Urethane buckets should not be used on the following:
(1) Materials over 212F/100C. (2) Large dense materials such
as gravel and ores over 3/8" in diameter. (3) Some sharp sluggish
materials such as large glass cullet.

Tapco EuroBuckets are designed to increase elevator capacity by allowing closer bucket spacing on
the belt. They are a modified (cut-down) version of our Super EuroBuckets, varying only in depth
and weight. Application, performance, discharge and all other characteristics are exactly the same
as our buckets of the same material.
Guide to engineering EuroBucket elevator buckets:
Usable capacity: Water level (Z1) +5%.
Consideration should be given to belt strength, horsepower, mechanical requirements and
system ability to handle additional weight and volume.

IMPORTANT: EuroBuckets are designed to replace Starco, EuroJet and other European
manufactured elevator buckets. However, projection varies by manufacturer, and it is very
important to check for clearance in the elevator before replacing any existing steel or
nonmetallic buckets. Refer to pages 35 through 39 for actual bucket projection.
NOTE ON STYLE: For over fifteen years, Tapco has been providing low profile buckets to replace European style buckets.
These buckets have been a modification of our full sized CC-HD style. While the modified buckets performed beyond
expectations, Tapco realized there was still a need for a true European style bucket. In late 1999, we presented our first
EuroBuckets to the industry. These buckets, produced from new molds, are interchangeable with European brands.
Currently there are ten sizes in stock. Until all sizes are added to the EuroBucket line, we suggest using one of the CC-HD
low profile buckets to meet your needs. The combination of low profile and EuroBuckets gives Tapco the widest range of
nonmetallic European style buckets on the market. Please contact us with any questions about interchangeability.

IMPORTANT: When elevating certain materials that harden or setup
with moisture, a Tapco metallic digger bucket should replace every
10th polyethylene bucket. In some instances ductile iron AA style
buckets (See page 43) will not have sufficient projection to protect
the polyethylene bucket. It will be necessary to use a pad or spacer
behind the digger bucket. Contact Tapco for recommendations.

4", however both closer and greater spacings may be used depending
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

General Notes for other materials:

TEMPERATURE RANGE for Tapco AA and AC Buckets:

Urethane buckets will withstand temperatures from-60F to +212F/ -51C to + 100C.

Polyethylene buckets will withstand temperatures from-60F to +200F/ -51C to + 93C.

Nylon buckets will withstand temperatures from-40F to +275F/ -40C to + 135C.

Aluminum buckets will withstand temperatures from-60F to +400F/ -51C to + 204C.

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 sufficient projection to protect the nonmetallic bucket. It will be
necessary to use a pad or spacer behind the digger bucket. Contact Tapco for recommendations.

The joint never touches the

pulleys. Theres no problem of
metal to metal contact.
Recommended by grain elevator
operators-world wide.
Offers extra safety and
increased load capacity because
belt is not weakened with excess
bolt holes.
Puts an end to the double belt

thickness common to other systems.
Stops the costly waste of extra belting
necessary in lap and butt rider joints.
Can be used over and over again for
years of dependable service.
When reinstalling the Dura-Splice, always use a new bolt and nut assembly.
Contact Tapco for replacement parts.
Dura-Splice fasteners are not to be used on manlift applications, unless they are installed in strict
accordance with ASME Code A-90.1-2003. Contact Tapco for installation information.

Hex Locknut
Hex Head Bolt

Belt
Belt
1. Make certain end of belts are square.

2. Using crayons or chalk, draw a line on belt 2 from the
end of the belt. This line is the bolt centerline and should be
parallel to squared end of belt.
3. Use end plate as template and mark location of bolt holes
on the centerline all the way across width of belt.
For maximum splice strength; use as many Dura-Splice sets
as possible across full width of belt, making certain the DuraSplice units are positioned no closer than 1/4 from edge of
belt or no farther away than 1 from belts edge.
4. Drill, or punch out holes marked on bolt centerline with
1/2 drill bit or punch .
5. Clamp belt ends together securely and using the

punched belt as a template, mark and punch holes in other
end of belt.
6. Assemble the Dura-Splice units into belt and tighten all
bolts to 75 foot pounds with a torque wrench.
(This is important to insure maximum splice strength)
7. After fifteen minutes of running time, re-tighten all bolts
again to 75 foot pounds.
8. Your Dura-Splice installation is finished! You have a
super-strong elevator splice that will give many years of
service with minimum maintenance.
9. When reinstalling the Dura-Splice, always use a new bolt
and nut assembly. Contact Tapco for replacement parts.
Dura-Splice fasteners are not to be used on manlift applications, unless they are installed in strict
accordance with ASME Code A-90.1-2003. Contact Tapco for installation information.

Jackson plate belt fasteners

for elevator belts
Manufactured by
JACKSON FASTENERS LTD.
ENGLAND
Tapco Jackson Fasteners are a simple method of splicing elevator belts that avoid the pre-engineered failure points of
other splices. The Jackson Fastener is composed of a metal plate embossed with two concaved depressions. The opposite ends of the belt are cupped into pockets and are held there by the force of a special countersunk bolt head, and a
large heavy fanged washer; thereby distributing pressure over a larger area of belt.
While stress and gravity tend to pull the ends apart, they are counterbalanced by the force of compression into the fastener. The Jackson plate is curved in relation to the size of the belt and diameter of the pulley with which it must work, so
that no thumbnailing or destruction of the belt fibers occurs. The long collar nut on the special bolt recesses into the belt
insuring a locking action.
The advantages of using Jackson plate belt fasteners are: Strength and integrity of splice, no unbalanced belt section,
smooth running over pulley, comparative low cost. Easy installation requiring no special tools, and allowing even, close
spacing of buckets, and eliminating the need for splice cups.
When it becomes necessary to take-up, or shorten the belt, only one end of the belt splice needs to be removed, cut to
length for proper tension and reinstall. The Jackson splice can be supplied for any belt width with the proper number of
plate fasteners and template.

Drag Conveyor Flights

UHMW (Ultra High Molecular Weight) POLYETHYLENE
Features:
Maximum Strength- Practically indestructible. Will take
more abuse than rubber, nylon, aluminum, neoprene, high
density polyethylene, and combination steel with insert flights.
High Resistance to Abrasion- The most highly
abrasion resistant thermoplastic produced today. Will out last all
other materials used in conventional flights.
Flexible and Resilient- Has the ability to flex and give
tremendously to pass an obstruction, then return to its original
shape.
Low Coefficient of Friction- This means less
resistance to the sliding action between the flight and trough.
Reduces work loads on drives and motors, while reducing wear
on flights and trough.
Chemically Inert- Impervious to most acids and alkalies.

Will not rust or corrode.
FDA and USDA Approved- The white (virgin) UHMW
polyethylene meets the requirements of the Food Additives Law
and Regulation No. 177.1520. It is ideal for food handling.
Wide Temperature Range- Operating range from -60F
to +225F/ -51C to +107C continuous. Up to +250F/ +121C
intermittently.
Low Product Build-Up- Naturally slick surface resists
buildup of moist or sticky products.
Economical- Low initial cost plus longer life and less
downtime = savings $$$.

NYLON HANGER BEARINGS

Nylatron GS Bearings have precise amounts of molybdenum disulfide, a solid lubricant, added to Type 6/6 nylon to produce a moly filled nylon
distinguished by its steel gray color and greatly improved bearing characteristics. Available in both Styles A & B. The FDA approved bearings are
molded from white 101 nylon for use in the food industry. Available in Style A only.
LET NYLATRON GS SMOOTH OUT YOUR OPERATION

. . . AND AT A SAVINGS!
Normally, with a product or component which brings about an accelerated performance, longer life, or more trouble free operation, the cost is
usually justifiably higher than conventional components. . . yet, in the case of Tapco nylon bearings, the initial cost is LESS, or at least comparable to
ordinary bearings.
Coupled with this initial economy, numerous other savings are realized through lower maintenance, less wear on coupling shafts and the
reduction of profit robbing down time.
Their longer life, corrosion and abrasion resistance, makes them cost effective. Most chemicals fail to impair their smooth operation. There is
less heat generated during use, hence, they maintain established fits and running clearances over a greater temperature range.
Lubrication is normally desirable since it will improve the PV (Pressure and Velocity) rating as much as five times. However, the built in
lubricant (molybdenum disulfide) is adequate in the event of lubricant failures. Depending upon loads, speeds and materials conveyed, bearings can,
and have been, operated successfully with no lubrication.
While the use of Tapco nylon bearings is primarily intended for most conveyor hanger applications involving moderate loads and speeds in
temperature ranges of -40F-to + 250F I -40C to + 121C the unexcelled properties of this material will suggest other applications to the user.

VENTED ELEVATOR BUCKETS
FOR STYLE CC-HD, CC-XD & U-HD AGRICULTURAL BUCKETS

AVAILABLE IN FIVE STANDARD PATTERNS
A vented bucket can improve the efficiency of some bucket elevators when handling certain products. On dense
materials such as flour, meals and mash feeds, the vents allow air to escape through the cup as it fills, which permits the cup to fill
more completely. During discharge air can return through the cups as it empties, thus preventing a vacuum that could hold some of the
product in the cup and cause backlegging. On extremely light materials such as alfalfa meal, screenings and bran, a vented bucket
not only minimizes blowing of the product during loading and discharge, but also reduces air turbulence in the leg as the bucket travels
empty down the return side of the elevator. A reduction in air currents minimizes the vacuum which can draw a light product through the
down leg and back to the boot.
Tapco has five standard patterns available which offer varying amounts of air release for the handling of most products. Special patterns
and hole diameters will be quoted upon request. NOTE: Most steel bucket manufacturers use vent holes with 1/8" to 5/32" diameters.
These small holes, if used in the Tapco nonmetallic bucket, would soon become clogged with product due to our thick wall sections. For
this reason our standard vent diameters are 9/32" and 11/32". NOTE: For extremely flowable materials, (Rapeseed, etc.) contact
Tapco for venting recommendations.
Vent Pattern 1
Same hole diameter, centers, and number of holes in body as

mounting holes in back.
Vent Pattern 3
Two rows of 9/32" or 11/32" holes in body on 1-1/8" centers.
Vent Pattern 5
One row of 9/32" or 11/32" holes in body on 1-1/8" centers,
three holes each end.
84
Vent Pattern 2
One row of 9/32" or 11/32" holes in body on 1-1/8" centers.
Vent Pattern 4
Two rows of 9/32" or 11/32" holes in body on 1-1/8" centers,
three holes each end.
Custom Venting
Any number of rows of holes in body, extending all the way up

to the front lip if desired. Ends can be vented with a few holes,
or totally vented as shown. Hole diameters from 1/8" through
17/32". Contact Tapco for venting recommendations.

*R.P.M. - Revolutions per minute of head pully or sprocket.
**F.P.M. - Feet per minute of belt or chain.
Important: Head and boot design, head venting, loading, belt tension, plumb of head and boot pulley,
product flowability and product density, all have an effect on the speeds at which an elevator can run and
still discharge properly.

computing bucket elevator capacity

Note: Traditional formulas for computing elevator capacity are based on the bucket manufacturers published gross bucket capacity. Tapco recommends using water
level bucket capacities because published gross capacities are inaccurate and irrelevant. Tapco can provide the water level capacity for any size and brand of bucket.
To figure the capacity of a bucket elevator you must first know the following:

1. CAPACITY of the bucket at water level (cubic inches).
4. SPEED of the belt or chain (feet per minute). See formula below.

2. SPACING of the buckets on the belt or chain (centers).
5. PRODUCT WEIGHT per cubic foot (only if answer is desired in tons or metric tons).

3. NUMBER OF ROWS of buckets on the belt or chain.
Then proceed as follows: Multiply the capacity of the bucket times the spacing multiplier in the table below times the number of rows of buckets. This will give the capacity in cubic inches of each running foot of the belt or chain. Multiply this times the speed of the belt or chain for the capacity discharged per minute. Then multiply
by 60 to get the capacity discharged per hour. The answer will be in cubic inches.
Convert as follows:

BUSHELS
CUBIC FEET
TONS
METRIC TONS
- Divide by 2,150 to convert bushels.

- Divide by 1,728 to convert to cubic feet.
- Multiply cubic feet capacity times weight of product per cubic foot and divide by 2,000.
- Multiply cubic feet capacity times weight of product per cubic foot and divide by 2,204.62.
You now have the water level capacity of the elevator. Actual capacity would range from 10% to 20% above water level. For engineering purposes, Tapco recommends
using 10% above water level capacity. Greater capacity may be realized in the elevator, however, this is dependent on several factors besides the buckets: head and boot
design, loading and discharge, angle of repose of the product, etc..

Welcome to the Fourth Edition of the Tapco Product Guide.

Dear Friends:
We are proud to be celebrating over 30 years in the business of producing the best nonmetallic elevator buckets in the
industry! We were incorporated in October of 1974. This edition contains, along with everything from the third edition,
several new and exciting items that will be of interest to you.
Following the success of our 9 projection CC-HD (Heavy Duty) buckets, we are now excited to announce the 20 x 10
CC-XD, the first of our 10 projection buckets in the new CC-XD (Xtreme Duty) design. It will have incredible carrying
capacity and strength. Production will be made in polyethylene, urethane and nylon. These CC-XD buckets start on page 18.

We are also having great acceptance of our new industrial style AA buckets. This is our complete new line of injection
molded buckets. These new molds bring our nonmetallic AA buckets into conformance with the original mill standard design
the true industry standard. These buckets begin on page 40.
Please check page 34 for information on our new line of Super EuroBuckets. These buckets are a direct interchange with
existing pressed steel buckets from Europe. We are very pleased with the success of these new buckets.
Specifications for our digger buckets begin on page 28. Along with the digger buckets, we have added further information
on our well established line of steel fabricated buckets. They range from styles AA to SC. Specs start on page 50.
We have also added the highly proven Scandura Dura-SpliceTM elevator belt fastener to our line. This splice, along with the
popular Jackson Plate Belt Fastener, gives Tapco the widest range of elevator belt splices on the market. Both styles are
stocked for immediate shipment from Tapco to you.
