4B
Components
Limited
Since 1984, 4B Components Ltd. has been serving the material handling and electronic
component needs of the elevator and conveyor markets in the United States. However, our
roots started over 127 years ago in the United Kingdom when our parent company, Braime
Holdings P.L.C., began producing small pressings with a fly press in 1888.
In 1909, Braime introduced the first seamless
steel elevator bucket, which expanded their
product line and their expertise in metal
pressings. By 1911, the business had grown
to such an extent that a new factory was
opened in Leeds, UK. This facility is still in
existence today and continues to produce
metal pressings, including our current line of
pressed steel elevator buckets, and bucket
bolts.

In 1971, Braime formed a new subsidiary, 4B Elevator Components

Limited. 4B, an acronym for Better Buckets, Belts and Bolts, was
founded to specifically serve the material handling needs of the
elevator and conveyor markets.
With growing safety concerns and a need to

monitor the performance of bucket elevators
and conveyors, 4B saw an opportunity to expand into electronic sensors
and controls. By 1984, 4B had developed a complete line of electronics
products for monitoring bucket elevators and conveyors.

4B HIGH EFFICIENCY Elevator Buckets
HE
IGH
FFICIENCY
At 4B, our basis has always been engineering and our expertise in providing
comprehensive solutions. In keeping with these core values, we designed
our family of High Efficiency elevator buckets to deliver the maximum
possible elevator leg throughput for the lowest cost per ton or bushel.
Every bucket in every line of the High Efficiency family has five distinct
features, each of which conveys efficiency. Only 4B High Efficiency elevator
buckets have all five features.
MODERN HIGH EFFICIENCY DESIGN

1. SMOOTH FRONT FACE
A smooth interior face and side walls,
with no breaks, deliver an efficient
and unencumbered discharge over
higher speeds.
2. WING-LESS SIDE WALLS

Wing-less side walls maximize
the most efficient use and cost of
materials.
3. CLOSER SPACING
The ability to be mounted extremely
close together provides the most
efficient use of vertical space on the
belt.
TRADITIONAL DESIGN
Other designs have angled breaks
which provide no benefit to discharge
efficiency. These breaks merely
copy a feature from the first sheet
metal buckets introduced in the
1920s.
Other buckets have a wing or ear

on both sides which adds cost and
weight, while offering no functional
benefit.
Other buckets are too deep to be

mounted closely together or must be
modified from their standard design,
adding to the cost.
4. TAPERED BOTTOMS
Tapered bottoms allow the buckets
to fill and discharge with maximum
efficiency over higher speeds.
They also create a low digging
factor which means less material
resistance & degradation and fewer
forces on the bucket system.
5. NESTING / STACKING
Nesting inside one another efficiently
reduces the amount of space and
costs associated with shipping and
storage.
The vertical sides, wings and

perpendicular bottoms of other
buckets impede the flow of materials
into and out of the bucket.
Nesting is not possible with other

bucket designs. More packing
materials and space are required for
these buckets.

CC-S Heavy Duty

CC-S Unique Design Features
Sm
oo
Unique Iceberg Edge heavy duty front

lip with maximum material thickness and a
tapered leading edge for a longer wear life.
The triangular rigid design prevents bowing for
a consistent discharge over the life of the bucket.
Developed as the worlds

first stackable CC-style
elevator bucket. CC-S
buckets nest inside one
another for reduced storage
and shipping space.
Freight cost savings are
realized as the increased
shipping density offers a
lower freight classification.
Di
sc
ha
rge
CC-S buckets are group bundled in individual

plastic sleeves for easy transportation and storage.
Unlike cardboard cartons, the plastic sleeves are
water-proof and deter rodent infestation.
Product Testing
Rigorous product testing on all of our material handling components
is conducted at 4Bs own in-house testing facilities. This ensures that
we provide our customers with the best products in quality, durability
and performance.

CC-S Heavy Duty Low Profile

MADE IN THE
USA
HE
IGH
FFICIENCY
A range of heavy-duty low profile CC style elevator buckets designed

to outperform other agricultural buckets. Just like the standard CC
style, the low profile has the unique Iceberg Edge design with
stronger front lip and maximum material thickness for greater
strength and longer life. 4Bs CC-S low profile buckets are
manufactured to mount on nominal projection less one inch, for
increased capacity. 4B conservatively uses water level to calculate
usable capacity on our low profile buckets.

Seamless steel or
Starco elevator buckets are engineered for higher

throughput elevator legs. Their shallow design, tapered
sides and low back height ensure maximum bucket fill
at high speeds on smaller pulley diameters. The unique
front profile guarantees clean discharge over a wider
range of operating speeds than conventional or other low
profile buckets.

GB Spidex
GB Spidex Unique Design Features
With the GB system, buckets are centered at very close spacing with a series of buckets without bottoms followed by a
closed bottom bucket. The material is lifted in a continuous column, so the carrying space between conventional buckets
is fully utilized by material to achieve much greater capacity. The buckets fan out as they pass over the head and tail
pulleys to facilitate pick up or discharge.
The system increases capacity of an existing elevator leg at a much lower cost than the purchase of a new bucket
elevator. The GB system can also be used in new elevators to give the same capacity as larger elevators using traditional
buckets, saving manufacturing costs and plant space.
GB Spidex buckets are particularly useful with sticky products which can clog up the bottoms of conventional buckets
reducing capacity and increasing maintenance. With GB buckets, only the bucket with the bottom can become clogged,
and capacity can be rated to allow for this. The remaining buckets, being bottomless, are self cleaning. Dense or
extremly light materials are also handled easily as GB buckets have the ultimate vented design.
Whether your leg is handling grain, feed, meals, fertilizer, or industrial materials such as free flowing cement, 4B can
design a GB Spidex bucket system to deliver the capacity you require.

Conventional bucket
systems have greater
space between
buckets.
GB Spidex bottomless
buckets move a continuous
column of material, eliminating
lost space between buckets.

Super Starco Low Profile Steel

Industrial Buckets
The deep low profile design of the Super Starco
is the result of intensive research to achieve the
maximum individual bucket capacity. Additional
capacity has been engineered into the bucket
while still maintaining the perfect fill and discharge
characteristics of the original Starco bucket.

Fabricated Steel
Digger Buckets
Digger elevator buckets are used in
conjunction with plastic buckets to help
break up material that can harden in the
boot section of a bucket elevator.
Made from extra heavy duty steel with
a reinforced front lip, digger buckets
extend 1/4 further than plastic buckets to
provide the proper digging action to loosen
hardened material.
- Available in wingless
or traditional CC styles
MADE IN THE
USA
Features
Consult 4B to ensure
no clearance issues
occur when using
digger buckets in
your elevator
Thick reinforced lip for superior abrasion resistance and strength

Resistant to distortion from scooping heavy or packed materials (sand, glass, gravel, etc.)
Mounted on chain or belt
Options: carbon steel, stainless steel, AR plate, wear lips and hard weld

4B #1 Norway
Elevator Bolts
#1 Norway elevator bolts are the most common style used in the U.S. grain industry. The square shoulder
under the flat head of the Norway bolt helps prevent spinning during installation (square peg in a round
hole principle). 4B #1 Norway bolts meet or exceed Grade 2 standards for load, yield and tensile strength.
Material
Zinc plated steel or

Stainless steel (302)
Features
Most common style in the U.S. grain industry

Square shoulder design resists spinning
Large bolt head diameter resists belt pull through
Suitable for recessed and flat back elevator bucket holes
Installed bolt torque rating dependent on bucket & belt size

4B Fanged
Elevator Bolts
The fanged elevator bolt is characterized by two sharp teeth that are intended to penetrate the carcass
of the elevator belt. Once the teeth penetrate the belt, they help keep the bolt from spinning which easily
allows the lock nut to be tightened.
Material

stainless steel (302)
Features
Unique design - fangs lock bolt in place as nut is tightened

Large bolt head diameter resists belt pull though
Extensively tested and used in U.S. grain industry
For recessed and flat back elevator bucket holes

4B Easifit
Elevator Bolts
The Easifit bolt is unique in that it employs a hexagon tip. Special installation tools lock onto the hexagon
tip to keep the bolt from spinning as the lock nut is being tightened. This varies from fanged or square
shoulder designs that have to bite into the belt to keep from rotating during nut installation.
Easifit bolts are especially useful for repair jobs where only the elevator buckets and not the belt are being
replaced. In this case, reaching around to the back of the belt and inserting replacement bolts can be
cumbersome. Easifit bolts eliminate the problem of elongated bolt holes that can no longer accept the
square shoulders of other bolt styles, and there are no fangs to set. Once the replacement Easifit bolt is
inserted through the belt and bucket, the entire fastening operation can be quickly and easily finished from
inside the elevator bucket.

4B Euro DIN 15237

Elevator Bolts
Euro DIN 15237 elevator bolts have a concave head and two lugs on the underside to help prevent rotation
when tightening. Popular throughout Europe for the last 30 years, this fastening system is intended for
the attachment of pressed steel elevator buckets incorporating recessed bolt holes. The recessed area
surrounding the bolt hole is intended to accommodate the similarly domed surface under the bolt head.
Because of this domed area under the bolt head, these bolts are not recommended for flat back plastic
buckets, especially on thinner belts.

Elevator Bolts
Reference 70 (REF 70) are ISO grade 5.8 elevator bolts with a concave head and four lugs on the
underside to help prevent rotation when tightening. The REF 70 bolt, when coupled with the special oval
washer, offers the largest surface area available to resist belt pull through. They are ideal for steel elevator
buckets in heavy-duty industrial applications on pulley diameters over 20 inches. Because of this domed
area under the bolt head, these bolts are not recommended for flat back plastic buckets, especially on
thinner belts.

4B Braime Clamp
Elevator Belt Splices & Fasteners
The Braime Clamp (BC) series of heavy-duty belt splices
securely fastens belting on larger bucket elevators. As the
originator of this proven style of belt clamp, 4B designed it
from three pieces of extruded aluminum including a center
wedge section to minimize belt wear.
The BC1 has been designed in 3 inch segments for fastening
rubber and PVC belting.
The BC2, BC3 and BC4 versions are designed to fasten steel
web core belting (see pages 54-55).

Non-Ferrous
(MBG2-AB)
4B Vise Splice
Ferrous
(MBG2)
4B Vise Splices are mechanical splices for use on most

PVC and rubber elevator belts. Each splice unit is made
of three pieces. The outside plates have two different
gripping areas. The ribbed gripping area is mounted
towards the face of the belt. The opposite end has a series
of both longitudinal and axial teeth. The center plate is
symmetrical and cannot be improperly installed around its
elongated center hole.
The splice functions by using the tension supplied by
the belting. This tension on the belt ends pulls the outer
plates apart, and forces gripping pressure towards the
teeth on the splice unit. The greater the belt tension,
the more pressure is exerted on the gripping teeth at the
forward end of the splice.

4B Gripwell
The Gripwell light duty aluminum fastener secures belting
on bucket elevators. The two ends of the belt are gripped
between extruded serrated plates, clamped together by
zinc plated high tensile bolts, safely secured by plated self
locking nuts to give a strong reliable and rustproof fastener.
The Gripwell forms a butt joint, the belt runs smoothly over
the pulley with minimum stress to the joint and no relative
movement can take place between the two belt ends, as is
the case when an overlapping joint passes over the pulleys.
Features
For belts up to 220 PIW and up to 3/8 (10 mm) thick

Vise grip between serrated jaws
Secured by high tensile bolts & self locking nuts
Radius rounded edges to reduce joint wear
Available in a range of standard lengths from 4 to 12 inches

The 4B Polysur steel web core belt is a rubber elevator belt with a special steel cord core. The cords provide low
elongation with high elasticity in the length, and cross rigidity in the width. The built-in elasticity allows running
over slightly crowned pulleys which greatly improves belt tracking, and helps to avoid belt wandering which is often
the reason for elevators shutting down. The rigid weft cords act as a barrier to ripping and tearing which increases
the holding ability for the bucket bolts. This produces a good cross rigid belt resulting in excellent straight tracking
characteristics.
In contrast, most conventional steel cable belts lack elasticity and consequently have to run over truly flat, cylindrical
pulleys which increases the risk of belts off-tracking.
The 4B Polysur steel web core belt is designed for heavy duty/industrial bucket elevator applications with long
centre distances that require stable running and reliable belts with high safety factors. All 4B Polysur steel web
core belts are manufactured in accordance with DIN 22102 and ISO norms.

4B HIGH EFFICIENCY Elevator Buckets
HE
IGH
FFICIENCY
At 4B, our basis has always been engineering and our expertise in providing
comprehensive solutions. In keeping with these core values, we designed
our family of High Efficiency elevator buckets to deliver the maximum
possible elevator leg throughput for the lowest cost per ton or bushel.
Every bucket in every line of the High Efficiency family has five distinct
features, each of which conveys efficiency. Only 4B High Efficiency elevator
buckets have all five features.
MODERN HIGH EFFICIENCY DESIGN

1. SMOOTH FRONT FACE
A smooth interior face and side walls,
with no breaks, deliver an efficient
and unencumbered discharge over
higher speeds.
2. WING-LESS SIDE WALLS

Wing-less side walls maximize
the most efficient use and cost of
materials.
3. CLOSER SPACING
The ability to be mounted extremely
close together provides the most
efficient use of vertical space on the
belt.
TRADITIONAL DESIGN
Other designs have angled breaks
which provide no benefit to discharge
efficiency. These breaks merely
copy a feature from the first sheet
metal buckets introduced in the
1920s.
Other buckets have a wing or ear

on both sides which adds cost and
weight, while offering no functional
benefit.
Other buckets are too deep to be

mounted closely together or must be
modified from their standard design,
adding to the cost.
4. TAPERED BOTTOMS
Tapered bottoms allow the buckets
to fill and discharge with maximum
efficiency over higher speeds.
They also create a low digging
factor which means less material
resistance & degradation and fewer
forces on the bucket system.
5. NESTING / STACKING
Nesting inside one another efficiently
reduces the amount of space and
costs associated with shipping and
storage.
The vertical sides, wings and

perpendicular bottoms of other
buckets impede the flow of materials
into and out of the bucket.
Nesting is not possible with other

bucket designs. More packing
materials and space are required for
these buckets.

How To Measure A Bucket

A
With elevator bucket back

laid flat, measure overall
length (A)
60

laid flat, measure the
horizontal projection (B)

laid flat, measure the back
depth (C)

held vertical, measure front
depth to front lip (D)
Using a caliper, measure the

thickness of the bucket (T)

Bucket Venting, Wear & Reinforcing Bands
BUCKET VENTING When elevating fluffy or powdery materials, vent holes in the bottom of the elevator bucket allow material to fill and discharge more efficiently. As
material enters the bucket, it encounters a pillow of air resting in the bottom. Vent holes provide an escape path for this pillow of air, so that the entering
material does not bounce out of the bucket and back down the elevator leg casing. Upon discharge, the vent holes allow air to re-enter the bucket as
the material exits, releasing any vacuum that might be trapped inside the bucket, creating down legging.
WEAR BANDS Wear bands, either from mild steel or AR (abrasion resistant) steel extend the life of the bucket by adding additional thickness to the wear surface.
This is especially helpful when elevating abrasive materials.

Bucket / Pulley Relative Speeds

This chart is designed for use as a guide to handling free flowing granular materials. For other types of material,
please contact 4B.
Please note that centrifugal discharge can be at minimum bucket spacing. However, gravity discharge often requires
an increase in bucket space to suit the discharge angle. For questions regarding this, please contact 4B.

CHS handles several commodities (wheat, durum, soybeans),
and will load out about 70,000,000 bushels a year.
We have several drag conveyors which use a forged steel chain
with a typical pin and circlip assembly. While this is a good
and reliable method, it can be very time consuming when
changing out bent or broken chain flights.
In November of 2006 we installed a test section of 4Bs new
Bolt N Go chain and I am quite pleased with the results. The
Bolt N Go chain is very easy and fast to install and maintain,
as you eliminate the need to separate the chain each time while
installing a new flight. Also there is no need to slacken off the
chain or re-tension while changing flights. This alone will save
untold hours on the routine maintenance of these conveyors.
As our old chain wears out I will definitely replace it with 4Bs
Bolt N Go chain.
