Peanut elevators are highly efficient, making them excellent additions to facilities that store and process peanuts.
As an agricultural business owner, it’s useful to have access to systems and processes that keep things moving quickly and efficiently. Even a minor disruption in your process can cause significant delays, which eat into your profits and cause a number of issues. Manual efforts to move the crops through production can slow down the work, especially when they need to be moved between floors. At Merritt Mechanical Fabrication, we work closely with farmers and agricultural clients to provide various types of equipment used in these industries, including peanut elevators.
A peanut elevator is similar to a grain elevator, moving peanuts up and down in a warehouse or processing facility. This style of system is also called a bucket elevator, as it’s made up of various buckets attached to chains or belts. As the components move, sprockets or pulleys found at the bottom and top of the system allow for smooth and effective movement. Peanut elevators are highly efficient, making them excellent additions to facilities that store and process peanuts. It’s also helpful to note that peanut elevators can be used to move other types of nuts and lightweight materials.
Some elevator styles are designed to meet the guidelines established by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, but we’ll also customize the addition to your property based on your individual needs. We bring more than five decades of experience in the industry, and we’re proud to be a family-owned and operated company. Over the years, we have served countless clients and will continue to provide high-quality additions to properties.
