DG Type Combined Elevator Bucket Overview

DG type elevator bucket is a combined bucket design that integrates bottomless buckets with bottom buckets. It is developed to improve conveying capacity and adapt to higher elevator speeds in agricultural material handling systems.

Design Concept

By combining bottomless and bottom bucket structures, DG buckets achieve a balance between material intake and discharge performance. This design increases the effective loading coefficient and improves overall system efficiency.

Performance Advantage

DG type buckets allow more material to be loaded and discharged within each cycle, significantly improving conveying efficiency and production capacity.

  • Higher material intake
  • Increased discharge volume
  • Improved loading coefficient
  • Suitable for high-speed operation
  • Enhanced overall system performance

Working Principle

The combined structure enables continuous material flow, where bottomless sections allow efficient filling, while bottom sections support stable discharge. This makes DG buckets suitable for systems requiring both high speed and high throughput.

Applications

DG type elevator buckets are widely used in:

  • Grain conveying systems
  • Agricultural bulk material handling
  • High-output elevator systems
  • Applications requiring increased production efficiency

Comparison with DW Type

Compared with DW bottomless bucket systems:

  • DW type – maximizes capacity through minimal spacing
  • DG type – improves both loading and discharge efficiency with combined structure

DG buckets are more suitable for high-speed systems requiring balanced performance.

Engineering Considerations

For optimal performance, the following factors should be considered:

  • Elevator speed
  • Bucket arrangement
  • Material characteristics
  • System configuration
