Why Costa Rica needs elevator buckets
Costa Rica has a strong medical-device and electronics free-zone sector, agriculture (pineapple, banana, coffee) and tourism.
Belts, idlers, buckets and drag chains wear out in abrasive service, and a stopped conveyor stops the plant, so critical spares are kept on site.
