Also can you please suggest the site name where I can get the infomration regarding the monorails for drive, pit for maintananance , platform required or maintance door?

Thanking You in Advance

Greetings and salutations,

Assuming you mean the housing the elevator is enclosed in-

Assuming you wish to use a bucket elevator for coke right out of the oven-

A continous belt scoop bucket would undergo a huge amount of expansion a chain elevator bucket would also undergo expansion.

A bucket elevator shell being the shroud that covers the entire elevator would act like a heat synch but in no way should a system like that be used to handle extremely hot materials.

A very very reputable bucket elevator company can be contacted through

Herr Wolbier on the forum here or the Sukup Elevator Company. ■
