Wiese Pendulum Elevator

Wiese’s pendulum bucket elevators are designed for the controlled vertical transport of bulk materials where product degradation and segregation must be minimised. Used for handling powders, granules and fragile materials, these systems maintain product integrity throughout the conveying process.

The system uses individually suspended, free-swinging buckets that remain stable during operation, supporting gentle handling and consistent product flow. This pendulum design enables multiple infeed and discharge points within a single bucket elevator system, allowing materials to be delivered to several locations while reducing the need for additional transfer stages.

Pendulum elevators are typically selected where flexible routing and controlled discharge are required. Independent discharge points can be activated pneumatically or electrically, enabling precise material distribution across complex processes.

Buckets are designed for hygiene-sensitive applications, meeting food-grade standards and allowing tool-free removal for external cleaning. This supports washdown procedures without introducing moisture into the system. The overlapping bucket design also ensures spillage-free conveying throughout operation.

As a specialist manufacturer, Wiese designs and builds each system using proprietary rubber chain technology. This supports quiet operation, eliminates lubrication requirements and reduces mechanical wear, helping to lower maintenance demands while maintaining reliable long-term performance.

Product Trials

If you would like to understand how your products will perform within a Nerak system, our Product Trial Service allows you to test materials under real operating conditions.

Trials can be carried out by our team or attended in person at our Brecon facility, where you can work directly with our engineers to assess system suitability and performance. Contact us to arrange a trial or discuss your requirements.
