Compatability - Materials Handled

A wide range of grain sizes and a wide range of bulk densities have been successfully elevated by the OLDS ELEVATOR™ Vertical Bulk Material Conveyor.

If a product is not listed here, it's because it has yet to be tested. We will continually update this list as additional products are tested.
