• Steel and stainless steel elevator buckets – pressed / seamless or fabricated.
• Plastic / non-metallic elevator buckets – made from nylon, HDPE or polyurethane.
• Elevator buckets for industrial applications – such as cement, lime, gypsum, coal, aggregates, etc.
• Elevator buckets for agricultural applications – such as grain, feed, seeds and sugar.

You can browse through our complete collection of elevator buckets at 4B Braime online. 

Elevator Bolts

4B is the world’s leading elevator bolt manufacturer and can offer competitive prices on all volumes. We are the company behind the internationally recognised Ref70™ bolts, Euro bolts, Fang bolts and Easifit bolts, all of which are produced in-house at our manufacturing facility in Leeds. The bolts we supply are known for their safety, durability and ease of use (being made from the highest quality materials and designed for quick and easy installation). Full details and specifications can be found on the 4B Braime website.

Elevator Belting & Belt Fastners

4B also manufactures elevator/conveyor belting and belt fasteners. These are made with the very best materials to ensure excellent performance in the toughest industrial and agricultural applications. There are a range of belt styles for you to choose from (oil-resistant, abrasion-resistant, anti-static, fire retardant, for example), and all of them can be supplied slit, cut to length and punched to your requirements. Standard elevator belting and belt fasteners can be found on our website with full details and technical specifications. If you require any help or advice choosing the right belt for your application, simply give us a call or send your enquiry via email.

Conveyor Chains and Sprockets

4B offers several different types of chain for elevator/conveyor applications. They include:

• Drop forged chains – Made with special heat-treated, high grade alloy steel which is case hardened to C57-62 (Rockwell Scale) with a ductile core hardness of C40.
• Bolt ‘n’ Go chains – A range of drop forged chains with an easy assembly method. 

We also supply a number of sprockets and trailers. For more details and specifications, please head over to the 4B Braime website. 

Level & Control Switches

We manufacture and supply a variety of level indicators for detecting high or low levels of bulk granular materials in bins, tanks and silos. The range includes capacitance point level indicators, capacitance proxy level/plug detectors and rotary paddle switches. 

4B level sensors can be connected to a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) or to one of our hazard monitoring systems. This enables you to create an alarm (or programme an automatic shutdown) in case levels are too high or too low.

Inductive Sensors

4B manufactures a range of inductive proximity sensors designed to detect shaft speed, shaft position, gate position or object presence. They do this without making contact with the target that is being monitored. 

The range includes: 

• P100 18mm Inductive Sensors – Designed to detect the presence of metallic objects in process lines. Can also be used to generate pulses for the detection of rotational speed. 
• P300 30mm Inductive Proximity Switches – Designed to detect the presence of metallic objects in process lines as well as the position of doors, trolleys, boxes, etc. 
• P800 DIN Style Inductive Proximity Switches – Designed to detect the presence of metallic objects in process lines as well as the position of doors, slides, gates and containers. 

Full details and specifications for each of the above can be found on the 4B Braime website. 

Speed Switches

4B offers a complete line of speed switches that allow machine operators to monitor belt slip, underspeed and stop conditions on conveyors, bucket elevators and any other type of shaft-driven machinery. The range includes proximity, inductive, zero speed and stop motion switches as well as several rotating shaft monitors. 

4B’s speed switches can be connected to a PLC or to one of our hazard monitoring systems to provide alarm and/or automatic shutdown of machinery upon detection of dangerous operating conditions. 

Bearing Temperature Sensors

Overheated bearings are one of the chief causes of dust explosions in bucket elevators. The temperature of the bearings must therefore be closely monitored at all times. At 4B we have a range of ATEX, CSA and IECEx-certified bearing temperature sensors as well as a number of compatible monitoring systems. These can be found with full details and technical specifications on the 4B Braime website.
