Engineered for Seed Handling Excellence

Our bucket elevators aren’t repurposed grain systems. They’re purpose-built from the bottom up to solve common problems seen across the agricultural industry — from seed damage and spillage to difficult cleanouts and limited customization. Every elevator is manufactured in Des Moines, Iowa, using heavy-duty American steel and robust components. Our Midwest roots run deep, and we’re proud to build every product right here in the USA.

Key Applications:

  • New seed plant builds
  • Seed plant remodels and expansions
  • Seed packaging facilities
  • Commercial and private growers
  • Bulk seed handling and conditioning
  • Seed corn, soybeans, wheat, popcorn, and more

Whether you’re operating in Iowa or Idaho, Kansas or Kentucky, O’Mara delivers the same precision, dependability, and performance to customers across the country — and beyond.

Here’s What Sets O’Mara Bucket Elevators Apart

Gentle Seed Handling

Low discharge speeds, precise engineering, and customizable inlet options protect your product from damage during vertical transport. From raw to treated seed, your investment is handled with care.

Superior Cleanout & Seed Separation

Switching types of seed? Our bucket elevators include industry-leading cleanout features to make your job easier:

  • UHMW sliding cleanout tray follows the boot pulley—no readjustment needed
  • An optional compressed air cleanout system for rapid removal of residual seed
  • Tooled access door for easy maintenance
  • Dust port locations pre-planned — no field cutting required

Built for Performance

From 100 to 7,500 bushels per hour, our elevators are made to move product efficiently, with robotically welded trunking seams, laser-cut flanges, and direct-coupled drives that ensure long-term reliability.

Fully Customizable

Need a specific height? A custom color? Alternate discharge configuration? O’Mara can make it happen. With nearly every component configurable, your bucket elevator will be tailored to fit your operation, not the other way around.
