▸ Product Division

Elevating industries through engineering excellence.

MetCast Technologies manufactures high-quality industrial elevator buckets and material handling components for demanding applications across agriculture, food processing, chemical, fertilizer, cement and bulk material handling industries.

Manufactured using premium-grade Food-Grade PPCP, Nylon, HDPE, Polyurethane and engineering polymers, our products are designed to deliver durability, impact resistance, wear resistance and long-term operational reliability.

From chain-type elevator buckets to Z-elevator buckets, every product is engineered for toughness, stability, impact resistance and long service life. Because in bulk material handling, strength is not a luxury — it is the baseline.

MetCast is a complete material-handling solution provider, supplying not just buckets but also sprockets, chains, brass bushings and drive components — engineered to work together as a single, reliable elevating system.

▸ High-Efficiency Series

Engineered for maximum throughput & lowest cost per ton.

At MetCast, engineering is not an activity — it is our foundation. Our High-Efficiency Elevator Bucket Series is built on five core performance features that work together to deliver unmatched conveying efficiency.

High-efficiency industrial elevator bucket system MetCast elevator bucket product range
01

Modern High-Efficiency Design

A scientifically structured geometry that supports higher conveying speeds and smoother operation across the load cycle.

02

Smooth Front Face

No breaks, no ridges — just a clean, uninterrupted surface that delivers improved discharge even at higher belt speeds.

03

Wing-less Sidewalls

Design that maximises usable volume while reducing material cost, without compromising bucket rigidity or wall strength.

04

Closer Spacing Capability

Buckets can be mounted extremely close on the chain, giving maximum utilisation of every meter of vertical elevator space.

05

Tapered Bottoms

Ensures effortless filling and precise discharge — boosting efficiency at both low and high operating speeds.

▸ Bushing Technology

Precision CNC-machined brass bushings.

Each bucket is fitted with high-grade brass bushings, CNC-machined in our in-house shop from premium brass round bars — for perfect pin fitment, longer wear life and smooth, maintenance-free running that outperforms standard market products.

CNC-machined brass bushing for elevator buckets
  • Ensures perfect pin alignment across the full chain length
  • Reduces friction — leading to longer service life
  • Wear-resistant under continuous, high-cycle load
  • Prevents ovality and loosening over time
  • Provides smooth mounting on chain assemblies
  • Adds mechanical strength to polymer bucket bodies
  • Reduces maintenance intervals and downtime

"Our CNC shop machines every bushing from premium brass round bars — ensuring precision, alignment and durability that outperforms standard market products."
