Vertical conveying for mineral processing
Cronus industrial elevators move mineral powder, crushed stone and process material reliably between the critical stages of your production line.
A company built around material processing
Shanghai Cronus Machinery Co., Ltd. is a subsidiary of Guilin Mining Machinery Co., Ltd., an equipment manufacturer established in 1973. This gives Cronus more than 50 years of practical equipment-production history across grinding, classification, conveying and complete mineral processing systems.
For a production line, an elevator is not an isolated machine. It must match upstream feed conditions, downstream equipment, plant height, dust-control strategy and maintenance access. Our team works from this whole-line perspective.
Discuss your line layout →Two robust elevator platforms
Both designs are configured around feed behavior, vertical lift, capacity, particle characteristics and the way the machine integrates into your line.
TH SERIESA chain bucket elevator for continuous vertical handling of powders and granular material. Suitable where steady transport, compact installation and enclosed conveying are required.
NE SERIESA heavy-duty plate chain elevator designed for demanding mineral and aggregate handling, especially where capacity, abrasion resistance and operational stability are priorities.
How it works
Material enters the boot through an inlet designed for the feed rate and flow behavior of your process.
Buckets fixed to a chain move upward inside a fully enclosed casing, helping maintain a compact and controlled material path.
At the head section, material is discharged into the next conveyor, bin, mill, classifier or process stage.
The empty buckets return to the boot for another cycle, with tension, drive and inspection access configured for practical maintenance.
Why Cronus
Selection considers the crusher, mill, classifier, hopper and downstream process rather than just the elevator itself.
Stable drive, suitable chain or belt traction and controlled feeding help reduce interruption risks in continuous production.
Enclosed casings and configurable dust connections support cleaner operation in powder handling environments.
Bucket, chain and material-contact configuration can be selected for abrasive mineral feeds and service access.
Lift height, inlet/outlet position, platform access and installation interface are adapted to the plant layout.
Technical selection, drawings and delivery communication support export-oriented mineral processing projects.
Where it works
Mineral powder lines
Vertical transfer between crushing, screening, storage and secondary processing equipment.
Material elevation in raw material, blending, powder and building-material production systems.
Heavy-duty conveying for selected bulk materials after evaluation of size, abrasion and moisture.
Biomass pellet line case
For biomass production, the right elevator supports continuous transfer between key stages while helping preserve product flow and line rhythm.

Project mindset
From crushing and grinding to powder classification and biomass pellet processing, Cronus integrates equipment selection with practical operating needs. The resulting elevator configuration is aligned with material flow, access conditions and the expected production rhythm.

Ask a project question →Mineral powders, limestone, calcium carbonate, coal, cement raw meal, sand, crushed stone, fertilizer and selected biomass pellet applications. Final selection depends on material characteristics.
TH elevators use a traction chain with buckets for general powder or granular material. NE elevators use a plate chain and deep buckets for higher-load, abrasive and heavy-duty service.
Yes. Intermediate sections, inlet/outlet positions and access platforms can be configured to fit your center distance and line layout.
Provide bulk density, particle size, moisture, temperature, throughput and lifting height. These inputs guide bucket, speed, drive and casing selection.
Yes. Enclosed casing, controlled feeding and appropriate discharge design help convey powder in grinding and classification circuits.
Yes, where material size and capacity are evaluated. It can transfer crushed stone or aggregate between crushing, screening, storage and downstream stages.
Check traction tension, buckets, drive alignment, bearings, lubrication and buildup at the boot and discharge according to the service plan.
Configurations can include enclosed casing, sealed access doors, dust-collection connections and optimized inlet and discharge transitions.
Cronus is backed by Guilin Mining Machinery's ISO management certification, CE documentation for applicable equipment, high-tech enterprise recognition and invention patents.
Yes. The team supports technical selection, drawings, delivery documentation and after-sales communication for international projects.
Yes. A correctly selected elevator can transfer conditioned biomass, pellets or finished product between pelletizing, cooling, screening and packaging stages.
