BE-SAW Transition
The GSI BESAW was designed to mate with GSI bucket elevators from 16" to 42" in size and capacities
from 1500 to 8000 BPH. Due to the large quantity of boot hoppers available for these bucket elevators, it
would be impossible for GSI to offer a transition assembly that would fit all the possible combinations of
BESAWs and bucket elevators. Since the BESAW requires special mounting components to swivel, after
April 1, 2006 each BESAW shipped from our facilities will include a BESAW Swivel Plate Assembly. The
swivel assembly is made up of a square plate with the attachment bolts welded to it. It already has the
appropriate sized hole bored in it to allow the flow of material. The swivel hardware is also included.
When fabricating the mounting transition, the top of this plate should be from 6" to 8" above the mounting
flange of the bucket elevator boot hopper. The center of the large hole should be a sufficient distance away
from the bucket elevator trunk to allow the BESAW chain guard to clear and the BESAW to swivel. An
example of a transition is shown below.
