Elevators - Built to Last from the Ground Up

Chief Grain Elevators combine rugged durability with gentleness in grain handling.  The Chief teardrop head design follows the contour path of the discharged grain, virtually eliminating impact areas that can damage grain.  Our design couples proper

material handling bulk handling
bucket spacing with precisely timed belt speed to ensure optimum grain delivery.  Safety and ease of maintenance are designed into every elevator we make.

Convenience, Safety and Strength are three words that describe Chief Bucket Elevators.........especially the boot section.  Chief's unique hat section bottom panel is built 2-1/4" off the ground to prevent material from standing in shallow water.  There are several inspection doors on the boot section, including two pulley bushing access doors which allow inspection and maintenance of bushings.  Both manual and gravity type take-up boot sections are offered.

Chief also manufactures several types of trunk sections to fit your requirements.  Equipping your installation with Chief handling systems will open the door for greater production opportunities. Trunking sections are manufactured with flanges continuously welded to the casing.  Chief utilizes a digital Clinometer to ensure straight, twist-free trunking.

Chief Bucket Elevators are available with capacity ranges from 100 to 40,000 BPH, and all Chief Grain Elevators are backed by a two-year limited warranty.  Either PVC or rubber static conductive and fire retardant belting is available.

A complete line of handling equipment can be designed for new or existing grain facilities.  Our equipment is built with flexibility in mind.  For your next handling project consider the reliability and quality you get with Chief.

Conveyors

At Chief, we set our manufacturing standards above the industry requirements to ensure that you'll receive quality-handling equipment in your facility.  We offer several types of Chief Conveyors to meet your operations needs.

Standard features include 3-phase, TEFC motors; shaft mounted reducer drive with overload (except on models 3 hp and below) and heavy-duty cast iron sprockets with annular rings for long life.  A variety of roller and welded steel chains are available to fit your application.  

For the smoothest operation, two chain return systems are available and our return idlers are made from 2-1/2 “diameter UHMW mounted on heavy shafts that are spaced on 20” centers.  Our heavy duty chain return rail system employs a pair of heavy formed channels that are mounted in a tapering arrangement to maximize paddle life.

Chief Conveyors are available with capacity ranges from 100 to 40,000 BPH, and all Chief Conveyors are backed by a two-year warranty.

Chief Horizontal Conveyors are built for longevity, and their flexibility allows application in most operations. An adaptable combination of gauging, replaceable abrasion resistant liners, chain types, sprocket options, paddles and speed requirements are offered to provide years of quality service.  With Chief's years of experience, we stand ready to design and build a conveyor for your application.

Every project needs to be carefully designed and constructed for superior performance.  That is why you will want to rely on your local Chief Representative for technical support.  Our engineering staff and account representatives bring years of custom design experience to every challenging angle your project may have.
