Safer Bulk Material Conveyors and Feeders

The new Olds Elevator provides inherent protection against dust explosions

10" Olds Elevator Demonstration Video

This emerging technology has superior levels of safety and efficiency because it operates in a flooded mode, filled with the material being conveyed, so there is insufficient oxygen in the system to support combustion.

The basic principle of the Olds Elevator is very simple, however it is a whole new science. Unlike other screw conveyors, the patented Olds Elevator Technology reverses conventional screw conveyor design by employing a static screw inside a rotating casing. Having only one moving part in contact with the material transported, fragile and difficult materials are conveyed gently with negligible damage.

It is hygienic with no bearings or seals in contact with the product being transported. Simultaneously conveying and heating or cooling of materials are some of the many proven application for the Olds Elevator Technology. Smooth and quiet in operation, the metered delivery rate is accurate and infinitely controllable from zero to many hundred RPM using variable speed drives.

Licensed Manufacturers are introducing this practical new technology around the world and repeat orders follow because of the superior levels of safety and the proven efficiency gains.

This AWARD WINNING innovation is being recognized as a significant breakthrough in Dust Explosion Prevention Technology by respected bulk materials handling industry experts:-  

"I see the Olds Elevator replacing lots of bucket elevators," - Associate Professor Peter Wypych, Centre for Bulk Solids and Particulate Technologies, University of Woollongong has endorsed the Olds Elevator at the recent Dust Explosions Conference. Dust Explosions Report: -click here-

"It's a new method that is more predictable, more reliable, more product friendly and less maintenance prone than conventional elevators. Quite simply, it will perform the duty that other screw elevators won't" - Mr. Lyn Bates, bulk materials handling expert, Ajax Equipment Ltd, England.

"What a unique device this is. Imagine replacing a bucket elevator with something that won't break down, is unaffected by material temperature, can handle wet or damp product and only has one moving part... brilliant, read on!" - Joe Taylor, Editor of www.powderandbulk.com.

Olds is currently seeking licensee partners worldwide to join with us to develop and commercialize this patented new technology.
