Super EuroBucket®

High Density Urethane

Designed to fit in elevators using Super Starco, Jet and other European-manufactured buckets, the Super EuroBucket can seamlessly replace your current buckets to immediately improve performance. Their superior durability will reduce your costs, and since their design allows them to be stackable, you will save on shipping costs.

Why Urethane?

This severe-duty, non-corrosive, non-sparking material is tough yet flexible. These clean-discharging, lightweight buckets are a great choice for abrasive or high-throughput applications, because its resilience causes less product damage and reduces the product failure that can cause backlegging.

Features

Choose from 10 sizes
Designed to replace Super Starco, Jet and other European bucket styles

Standard Bolt Holes Drilled on the Z1 (Water Level) Line ± 6.0mm

Style:

Super EuroBucket

Design:

High speed centrifugal discharge.

Material:

Prime Virgin Thermoplastic Urethane.

Color:

Beige (Tan)

Temperature Range:

-60°F to + 212°F/-51° C to + 100°C.

Flammability:

The urethane used in Tapco buckets, meets the criteria of the Underwriters’ Laboratory Bulletin No. 94 HB. It has been tested under ASTM Test No. D635 and has a burn rate of 0.76”/min. it also meets approval under motor vehicle safety standard No. 302, with a burn rate of 0.0”/min.

Standard Drilling:

No Charge.

Special Drilling:

Any pattern and hole diameter can be provided at minimal cost.

Venting:

Available foe special applications. Contact Tapco for recommendations.

Interchangeability:

Can be intermixed with existing steel or nonmetallic buckets. Some consideration should be given to balance. Bucket projection varies by manufacturer and material. Check elevator for proper clearances. Contact Tapco for recommendations.

Installation:

Tapco fanged elevator bolts and nylon insert lock nuts are recommended for installation. Large flat steel (fender) washers must be placed inside the bucket under the nuts. DIN bolts and/or domed washers are not recommended. Check leg for proper clearances.

FDA Status:

Our standard urethane does not meet the requirements for FDA approval. FDA approved urethane is available, special order.

UV Resistance:

No UV (ultraviolet) stabilizers are added to Tapco buckets because most elevator buckets are enclosed in casings. Tapco buckets should not be exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods of time.

Recommendations:

Urethane buckets are ideal for use with pelletized, high fat and molasses feeds, extruded feeds, severe soybean, rice and barley applications and other abrasive agricultural products. They are excellent for extremely high throughput elevators.

Limitations:

Urethane buckets should not be used on the following: (1) Materials over 212°F/100°C. (2) Large dense materials such as gravel and ores over 3/8" in diameter. (3) Some sharp sluggish materials such as large glass cullet.

Caution:

Welding and cutting on elevator legs without taking proper precautions is extremely dangerous and can cause a violent explosion. Urethane buckets can be ignited and will burn from improper welding and cutting.

Important:

When elevating certain materials that harden or set up with moisture, a Tapco steel digger bucket should replace every 10th urethane bucket. Contact Tapco for recommendations.
