ABSTRACT:
An elevator having a bucket conveyor for moving material, as grain, from a hopper to a discharge location. The conveyor has an endless belt trained about idler and drive pulleys. A plurality of cups secured to the belt carry columns of material from the hopper to the head of the elevator. The cups include a plurality of open bottom cups and a closed bottom cup located below a column of open bottom cups to carry a column of grain. An arcuate curved material guide element is located adjacent the cups moving around the drive pulley at the upper end of the elevator to retain material in the cups as they move around the drive pulley. The guide element is a curved baffle that is adjustably mounted on the elevator head housing allowing the position of the baffle relative to the outer lips of the cup to be adjusted to retain the material in the cups as the cups move over the head pulley and to control the discharge of the material from the cups.
