Cement Terminal Reduces Wear, Cuts Noise With Maxi-Tuff Elevator Buckets

The LaFarge distribution terminal in Carrollton, Mich., handles more than 120,000 tons of Portland cement annually. Most of it gets lifted with a bucket elevator that refills silos for bulk deliveries. Lightweight Maxi-Tuff buckets cut chain and sprocket wear because they weigh 80% less than the cast iron buckets previously used.
