Bucket elevator

Bucket elevator

Bucket elevators are a series of continuous conveying machinery that are uniformly fixed on endless traction components. The bucket elevator uses a series of hoppers fixed on the traction chain or tape to transport bulk materials vertically or nearly vertically inward and upward. It is divided into three types: loop chain, plate chain, and belt.

The hopper elevator is suitable for lifting from the bottom to the top. After the material is fed into the hopper by the vibration table, the machine automatically and continuously transports it upwards. According to the conveying volume, the conveying speed can be adjusted and the lifting height can be selected as needed. The hopper is designed and manufactured by oneself. Polypropylene non-toxic hopper is widely used in this type of bucket elevator. All dimensions are designed and manufactured according to actual needs. It is designed to complement a vertical packaging machine and a computerized measuring machine. Suitable for the improvement and supply of products such as food, medicine, chemical products, screws, nuts, etc. The automatic stop of the machine can be controlled through signal recognition of the packaging machine.

Working principle

The hopper scoops up the material from the storage below, and as the conveyor belt and chain rise to the top, it flips down around the top wheel. The bucket elevator places the material into the receiving trough. The transmission belt of bucket elevators with belt drive generally uses rubber belts, which are installed on the lower or upper transmission rollers and the upper and lower deflection rollers. Chain bucket elevators are generally equipped with two parallel transmission chains, two upper and lower transmission sprockets, and two lower or upper directional sprockets. The bucket elevator produced by bucket elevator manufacturers is usually equipped with a casing to prevent dust from flying in the bucket elevator.

Bucket elevator: suitable for lifting from low to high, the supplied material is fed into the hopper through a vibration table, and the machine automatically runs continuously for upward transportation.

Main features 

Bucket elevator is a vertical conveying equipment for lifting materials, which has the characteristics of simple structure, low maintenance cost, high conveying efficiency, high lifting height, stable operation, and wide applicability.

(1) The driving force is small, adopting an inflow type supply, induction type discharge, and dense configuration of large capacity hoppers. There is almost no supply or excavation phenomenon when the material rises, and the ineffective power is low.

(2) The lifting range is wide, and this type of lifting machine has fewer requirements for the types and performance of materials. It can not only lift general powder and small granular materials, but also improve materials with high grindability, good sealing performance, and low environmental pollution.

(3) The work is reliable, the design principle is reasonable, the processing method is exquisite, ensuring the reliability of the whole machine, and the fault free time exceeds 20000 hours. High lifting height. The elevator runs smoothly and can reach high lifting heights.

(4) Long lifespan, the feeding of the elevator adopts an inflow type, without the need for digging materials with buckets, and there is little squeezing or conflict between materials. The machine is designed to minimize material dropping during feeding and unloading, reducing mechanical wear and tear.
