Introduction of Elevator Bucket Elevator

Content

The Elevator bucket elevator is a conveyor and part of the logistics system. It has the characteristics of simple operation, low ineffective power and long service life.

The working principle of the elevator bucket elevator is to use a series of hoppers uniformly fixed on the endless traction member to vertically lift the continuous conveying machinery of the material. It is suitable for lifting from low places to high places. After being put into the hopper, the machine automatically runs continuously and transports upwards. Bulk materials can be transported upwards in a vertical or nearly vertical direction.

The mechanical structure of the bucket elevator

The bucket elevator is mainly composed of a hopper, a driving device, a tensioning device, a traction member, an observation window, a tensioning device and a casing.

The hoppers of bucket elevators can be divided into cylindrical hoppers, shallow hoppers, triangular hoppers, sharp-angled hoppers, etc. Each hopper is suitable for conveying different materials.

For example, the deep hopper has a significant depth and is generally suitable for drying, good fluidity, and granular materials like wheat and corn.

The sharp-angled hopper has a stable structure and high strength, which is suitable for transporting materials such as ore, rare earth, etc., which are thick and heavy.

The traction components of bucket elevators can be roughly divided into three types: ring chain, plate chain and belt.

Performance advantages

1. It is universal for powder and granular materials, equipped with explosion-proof cover and pressure balance devices.

2. The advantages of high output, low backflow, low failure rate and long service life ensure the efficiency of use.

3. The height and output of the hoist can be changed according to the change of process characteristics, which enhances adaptability.

4. Novel appearance design, simple structure, complete functions, good sealing and low noise.

Appearance details

A cylindrical structure, supported by the side plates at both ends, can be installed upright or suspended; the rotor with four punching plates is equipped with external bearings at both ends, and the rotor can pass through one at the inlet end or the outlet end. Transmission device (primary type) or separate transmission device to drive.
