Kian Industry Industrial Elevator Family
Industrial elevators are divided into four main categories based on material type, capacity, height, and available space. Kian Industry designs and manufactures all four types with the highest quality and in compliance with the latest international standards. Below we introduce each category; by clicking on each, you can view the dedicated product page and see complete technical information, calculation tools, and sample projects.
Kian Industry; Specialized Manufacturer of All Types of Industrial Elevators
With over two decades of experience, Kian Industry is one of the few domestic manufacturers that designs, manufactures, and commissions all types of industrial elevators — including bucket elevators, vertical screw elevators, hydraulic platform lifts, and column lifts — from scratch. Kian Industry elevators are used in cement, gypsum, steel, mining, food, detergent, chemical, pharmaceutical, and animal feed industries and are manufactured using standard European components (Siemens/ABB motors, Italian gearboxes, German chains) in compliance with ISO, CE, and ATEX standards. All products come with a 24-month warranty and 10-year after-sales service. To choose the right elevator for your material, capacity, and height requirements, contact Kian Industry experts for a free consultation.
The main difference between bucket elevators and vertical screw elevators is the type of material they can handle. Bucket elevators are ideal for dry, free-flowing, and fine to medium-grain materials (such as cement, wheat, stone powder). However, for sticky, moist, fragile, or impact-sensitive materials (such as detergent powder, milk powder, activated carbon), the vertical screw elevator is the best choice. Hydraulic platform lifts and column lifts are also used for vertical handling of heavy and bulky loads in warehouses and production halls. Kian Industry is ready to provide the best solution according to your budget and needs.
Manufacturing Industrial Elevators
Kian Industry’s industrial elevators are the beating heart of any factory that needs to move materials between different floors. With their diverse designs, these equipment cover all vertical conveying needs — including bucket elevators for conveying bulk powder and granular materials, vertical screw elevators for sticky and sensitive materials, and hydraulic platform lifts for transporting pallets and heavy loads. With two decades of experience and the use of standard European components, Kian Industry builds elevators that are powerful, energy-efficient, and extremely reliable. It doesn’t matter whether your material is cement and gypsum, or animal feed and grains, chemical powders, or plastic granules. We will carefully design the right elevator for you and deliver it with a 24-month warranty and 10-year support.

What is an Industrial Elevator and How Does It Work?
An industrial elevator is a device used for the vertical movement of bulk, powder, granular, and even bagged materials in factories. The operating mechanism varies depending on the type of elevator. In a bucket elevator, a chain or belt with attached buckets picks up material from the inlet point and moves it upward. At the discharge point, the buckets are inverted and the material falls into the outlet hopper. In a vertical screw elevator, a screw rotates inside a tube, pushing material upward. In a hydraulic platform lift, a hydraulic jack moves the platform up and down, used for transporting pallets and heavy equipment. Kian Industry designs and manufactures all these types with the highest quality using the best European and domestic components.
History of Industrial Elevator Manufacturing and Reasons for Its Emergence
The first bucket elevators were built in the 19th century, concurrent with the Industrial Revolution, for conveying grain in mills. Before that, grain bags were transported to upper floors using ropes and pulleys or manual labor, which was very slow, costly, and dangerous. With the invention of the bucket elevator, a massive transformation occurred in the milling industry and later in cement, mining, and steel industries. In the 1950s, vertical screw elevators were developed for sticky and sensitive materials. In the 1980s, hydraulic platform lifts were introduced for warehouses and modern production lines. Today, Kian Industry, utilizing the latest technologies, manufactures elevators that have high efficiency, optimized energy consumption, and are very easy to maintain. Our elevators are equipped with intelligent control systems, chain and belt break detection sensors, and variable speed control via inverters.
Applications of Industrial Elevators in Various Industries
Cement and Gypsum Industry: Conveying cement powder, gypsum, lime, clinker, and clay to silos and hoppers at the top of the plant. Kian Industry's bucket elevators with capacities up to 500 tons/hour and heights up to 50 meters have been installed and commissioned in numerous projects.
Mining Industries: Conveying copper concentrate, sized iron ore, coal, salt, and other minerals from crushing to storage silos.

How to Choose the Right Elevator for Your Production Line
To choose the right industrial elevator, answer these questions: What is your material type? Powder, granular, bagged, or fragile? What is the bulk density of the material? What is the particle size? What is the required conveying height? What is the desired capacity in tons per hour? What is the material temperature? Is the material abrasive or sticky? Do you need periodic washing? What is your budget? Kian Industry's technical experts will review your answers and determine the best elevator type (bucket, vertical screw, or hydraulic) and its exact specifications for you.
