The belt is fitted with buckets at regular intervals which lift the material from the ground and empty them at higher levels. Each of the buckets provided in the pulley is meticulously emptied while in motion itself by a centrifugal action. The elevator is driven by the top pulleys by a speed reduction mechanism for which one can use either a gear box or a set of pulleys. In contrast the bottom pulley has a sliding mechanism that maintains proper tension and alignment in the belt. Both the top and bottom pulleys are insulate with rubber to avoid wear and tear of the belt during movement.
At the top of the elevator there is a platform provided for maintenance purposes. Both the pulleys are properly balanced for noiseless performance. The bottom and helmet of the elevator is done in 5mm thick heavy sheet while the casings come in 2 mm thick MS sheet.
