Field Tests Verify Not All Elevator Buckets Are What They’re Cracked Up to Be
The real test of product endurance is conducted in the field, by conscientious facility managers like Darren Henaire of Ancast Industries, who comp are them in use, without hidden agendas.
STYLE AA Nylon Elevator Bucket
“Foundry sand is incredibly abrasive,” Henaire explains, “especially when you’re running 180 tons every day, 24/7, like we do.” Of course all buck- et manufacturers claim their buckets will stand up to the abuse, but Henaire decided to test for himself.
“We contacted three leading man-
ufacturers and put six of each of their buckets on the machine,” Henaire says. “Buckets from the first manufacturer fractured in less than three months. Buckets from the second manufacturer failed after only four months”.
“By comparison, the Tapco buckets endured for the full year of service,” he says, “which is when we decided to end the test and convert the entire line.”
“Our Tapco nylon AA buckets currently get about 2-1/2 years of service moving foundry sand – which is pretty amazing,” Henaire confirms. “We subject them to the worst abuse you can imagine and they stand up to the test.”
Henaire also appreciates the great support he receives from his local Tapco supplier who is close by and gets him what he needs in a hurry.
