Bucket Elevator

Bucket elevator is a kind of conveying machine which uses a series of buckets which are uniformly fixed to the endless traction chain or belt to continuously lift bulk or broken materials in or near the vertical direction. Bucket elevator is suitable for lifting convey from low to high, the conveying speed can be adjusted according to the transmission volume, and the lifting height can be selected as needed. Common bucket elevators are divided into 3 types: link chain, plate chain and belt types.

The bucket elevator working principle is relatively simple, mainly relying on the bucket hoppers fixed on the chain (belt) to lift the materials flowing evenly into the tail feed port from the tail of the bucket elevator to the head of the bucket elevator uninterruptedly, and then unload the materials from the head outlet to complete the whole lifting process of the materials. Bucket elevator is suitable for lifting from low to high, the lifting height can reach 40 meters; bucket elevator is generally equipped with casing to prevent dust flying

The bucket elevator is mainly composed of traction parts, buckets, driving device, head, barrel, base and so on.

Traction Parts: there are 2 kinds of traction parts: belt and chain. Belt is generally divided into cotton rubber belt, nylon belt, steel belt. The chain mainly includes HL, forged ring chain, forged square chain as well as plate chain.

Buckets: carbon steel, stainless steel and polypropylene materials can be selected according to material characteristics.

Driving Device: the driving device consists of drive drum (or sprocket), motor, reducer, coupling, backstop and driving platform.

Head: it is composed of head wheel, head shell, discharge port and transmission device. The bucket elevator will install an anti-reverse device on the head wheel shaft to prevent material blockage caused by equipment failure in the process of operation.

Base: it is composed of machine base shell, bottom wheel, tensioning device, feed hopper and induction devices.

Bucket elevator is widely used in mining, metallurgy, building materials, coal, hydropower and other industries to vertically lift bulk, granular, powdered materials with a diffuse pressure of less than 250 ℃, such as ore, coal, coke, cement, stone sand etc. 1. The bucket elevator adopts flow-in feeding, induced unloading and large capacity hopper-intensive assembly. 2. With a wide range of applications, bucket elevators can be used not only for powdered and small granular materials, but also for materials with large grinding ability. 3. There is no need to use bucket to dig materials, extrusion and collision rarely occur between materials, and mechanical wear is reduced, The service life is long. 4, Good operation reliability, the advanced design and manufactured method ensure the reliability of the machine, and the fault-free time > 20,000 hours. 5. The utility model has the advantages of simple structure, small footprint, reliable work and convenient use and maintenance.
