Bucket Elevator

The bucket elevator is a kind of vertical conveying equipment, widely used in conveying powder, granule, and small lumps of no rub or small rub (material temperature under 250 C), such as coal, cement, gravel, sand, fertilizer, food, etc. It can be divided into TH chain series, TD belt series, NE plate series according to the transport model. The main performance and parameters meet JB3926-85 vertical bucket elevator; the round-link chain accords with MT36-80 mineral high strength round-link chain.
 

Features

●High capacity. The capacity is 1 times higher than the HL bucket elevator in the same bucket width.
●Adopt packaged sprocket, consisted of wheel body, sprocket rim which are connected by high strength bolt. It is convenient to unscrew the bolt and change the sprocket rim after the sprocket wheel wears to a certain degree, which can save material, reduce maintenance costs.
●The heavy-duty lever tensioning device makes automatic tension be realized. Once installed, no need to adjust, and it can keep constant tension, ensure the normal operation and avoid the skid or take off the chain.
●Stable lifting height, reliable operation, low noise, easy maintenance. 
●The conveying capacity of the improved model is 30% higher than normal models.
●The drag part is high strength low alloy steel chain whose life is long. After proper heat treatment, the steel chain has very high tensile strength and wears resistance.  

Bucket elevator structure

Bucket elevator consists of frame, drag part (conveyor chain), hopper, drive wheel (head wheel), feeding inlet (input inlet), and discharging outlet (output outlet).  

Working principle of Bucket elevator

The materials get into the bottom of the elevator through the chute, then scooped up by hoppers and elevated to the top along with the conveying chain. After getting around the top wheel, the materials turn down into the discharging outlet, thereby conveyed to the required position. The whole process is accomplished inside the frame, preventing the dust from floating.  

Material of Bucket elevator

The drag part uses high strong high-quality alloy steel chain. The sprocket wheel with the sprocket rim composite structure has a long lifetime and is easy to replace.
The lower part using the gravity automatic devices can keep constant tension force, avoid skid or take off the chain and get certain yield ability, effectively protect lower shaft parts and other parts when hoppers get stuck accidentally.
