General
The elevator bucket including the plastic bucket is the main spare part of the bucket elevator. It is an indispensable configuration of bucket cup elevators. Speaking of lifting elevator buckets, there are several types, like steel buckets and plastic buckets, and so on.
Some of the basic questions about plastic buckets：
1. Firstly, how plastic buckets are processed？
Plastic buckets are processed by injection molding. The materials have HDPE, Nylon, Reinforced nylon, and Polyurethane (PU).
2. Secondly, can the installation hole and distance be customized?
The hole distance and hole diameter of the bucket can be drilled free of charge according to the user’s own needs. Can also use our standard, there is a table in our catalog upon request.
3. Thirdly, what is the suitable installation spacing of the bucket?
It is generally recommended that the spacing between the bucket is the same as the width of the back of the bucket. At this point, someone will ask how the plastic bucket is installed. The plastic bucket is installed by the ordinary elevator bolts, square neck bucket bolts, fang elevator bolt or belt elevator bolt.
4. So what is the advantage of the hygiene standard of the plastic bucket?
All the plastic buckets delivered from our factory are required to comply with the national security health standards.
Performance characteristics of plastic bucket elevator:
1. High strength, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, service life longer than steel bucket.
2. Light weight, which can prolong the service life of bucket elevator belt and reduce the energy consumption of bucket elevator.
3. Have good flexibility and low material damage rate. When lifting the material, the damage to the raw grain is only 1 %.
4. There will be no sparks due to friction at work, so as to avoid the possibility of dust explosion.
5. Has clean material discharge rate and working temperature is wide. The front mouth area and side area reinforced thickening design, compared with the ordinary same thickness bucket, the service life is extended by 1/ 3 times, which is suitable for gravity or mixed discharging bucket elevator.
Through the above introduction of plastic bucket knowledge, I believe that everyone will have a new understanding of plastic bucket. In the future it will be more smooth while use plastic bucket. While the working, will also find other knowledge about plastic buckets to improve the use of them.
The main selection methods of bucket elevator buckets are as follows.
1. The bucket function of bucket elevator or bucket legs.
Bucket elevator legs rely on bucket loading and unloading to complete the transportation of materials. This equipment is mainly used for conveying or elevating powdered, granular, and small bulk materials. Because the materials used for conveying have their own characteristics, therefore, different types of bucket elevator buckets should be selected according to the characteristics of the material. The characteristics of the elevated material have a great influence on the shape and structure design of the plastic bucket cup itself.
2. The selection method of bucket for bucket elevator legs.
The type of bucket elevator bucket is selected according to the following methods:
2.1 Grinding materials:
The bucket is required to have a high strength leading edge mouth, so as to reduce the wear of the bucket when digging the material;
2.2 For the products with high water content and materials with poor fluidity
The bucket with a high leading edge should be used to achieve the lifting capacity of the bucket elevator.
2.3 For materials that are easy to suspend
Air holes should be drilled on the bucket to help settle the material.
2.4 For easily bonded or sticky materials
A shallow bucket with a circular bottom can reduce the accumulation of materials in the dead corner of the bucket.
Through the above introduction, I believe that everyone has a better understanding of the relevant knowledge of bucket elevators, so this can help us to better bring convenience to our production.
YT conveyor produces Bucket elevator components, including Elevator bucket, elevator bolt and elevator belt.
