I cant say what that one was used for, They can be used on any flowable material. If you look up bucket elevators You will find them.

I have a feeling it has to do with this: Cement and Engineering News - Google Books

I think its the right company but I dont think the buckets are from a mixer ,The mixer is chain belt driven no buckets on it.
The chain belt co. was named that from 1891- 1964 and was making bucket elevators from about 1900-?.
I think they are from a bucket elevator and may not have had a single use but could be used on a variety of material.
The company (now rexnord)still makes bucket elevators and list the cast iron buckets as mill duty buckets.

Chain Belt Company ? Rex Chain Belt ? Rexnord ? Rexworks ? RexCon LLC (1891-Current) | Historical Construction Equipment Association

When I was a kid, my neighbors had that chain and bucket system like that to get water from their cistern. It might have been a re-purposed use, but that's what I witnessed.
