For industries across the country, bulk material handling is a critical aspect of production. Whether your application involves moving fine grain or dense abrasives, finding the right solution is key.
Many industries use solutions like bucket elevators, pneumatic vertical conveyors, and conventional screw conveyors. But these systems are far from perfect. For every one of their shortcomings, the Olds Elevator system has an answer.

Two growing fields of Alternative Energy have found their prospects of becoming competitive with fossil fuels enhanced due to the Olds Elevator: Concentrating Solar Power and Biomass to Energy. Both of these fields involve the vertical conveyance of High-Temperature (900°F to 1,200°F) solid particulates. The unique design of the Olds Elevator allows it to handle high-temperature materials without mechanical interference due to thermal expansion. Learn how the Olds Elevator makes alternative energy more affordable.
When it comes to manufacturing the need to convey, elevate and process bulk materials is a daily challenge. Often manufacturers use several pieces of equipment to convey, meter and elevate bulk materials. Olds Elevators often combine the functions of 2, 3 or more pieces of conventional bulk material handling equipment into 1 compact material handling operation. Learn how Olds Elevators have solved dust emission problems for industry.

In many foundries, sand, blended with other materials, is used in great quantities to make the molds that form metal castings. This sand is recycled over and over and is a major part of many foundry’s daily functions. Olds Elevators, invented by a foundry owner, make elevation of foundry sand safe, clean and efficient when compared with conventional bucket elevators, screw conveyors and pneumatic transporters. Learn how Olds Elevators can make foundry operations more efficient.
Few bulk materials are as important to handle as agricultural crops. It is our food supply. The bulk handling of many seed crops like corn, wheat, soybeans and rice can produce dust that can be explosive in certain concentrations. We read about grain elevator dust explosions on a regular basis. Olds Elevators virtually eliminate the risk of dust explosions inherently. Learn how Olds Elevators can make the handling of agricultural products safer.
For material elevation that minimizes fire risk and maximizes performance, we developed the Olds Elevator.
