23/09/14 Lambton Conveyor Supplies Grain Handling Equipment

Skyway uses the all galvanized grain leg and drag chain conveyors manufactured by Lambton Conveyor in its system designs. In projects where grain needs to be conveyed vertically, the bucket elevator gets the job done quickly and efficiently. In addition to the bucket elevators, Skyway also utilizes drag chain conveyors when grain needs to be moved horizontally or a slight incline.

Skyway’s partnership with Lambton goes back more than 20 years so designing their grain handling systems is a familiar process. Since the bucket elevator is well-known equipment to international clients, it's often the piece of equipment requested in overseas projects.. Lambton equipment has been incorporated into storage designs in locations around the world. Countries like Canada, United States, Australia, Libya, New Zealand, Guatemala, Syria, Iran, Czech Republic, Mongolia, and Argentina all have benefited from the installation of grain legs as part of Skyways designs.

The bucket elevator is the "old reliable" in the grain handling industry, invented in 1842 by Joseph Dart and build in Buffalo, New York. The original grain legs were used in ports to handle the loading and unloading of grain being shipped from North America to the rest of the world. It still remains a fact that grain leg buckets deliver the gentlest handling, least spillage, and lowest maintenance, minimum amount of wear and tear, and quietest operation compared to similar mechanical elevating devices on the market.
