Introduction to bucket elevetor

The bucket elevator is used for the hoisting from low places to high places. The raw material is put into the hopper through the vibrating table, then the machine will convey the material continuously and automatically. It can carry much raw material from low to high. The hight can be adjusted according to the different speed of the bucket elevator.

The bucket elevator is a continuous conveying machine that uses a series of hoppers on uniform consolidation and endless traction members to vertically lift materials. It can be divided into three types: chain bucket elevator, plate chain bucket elevator, and belt bucket elevator. It is composed of upper casing, drive shaft parts, reducer, coupling shaft, motor and so on.

The elevator used in the field of mining is generally a bucket elevator, which is a piece of fixed conveying equipment. It is suitable for conveying the small powder, granular and abrasive material, such as coal, cement, stone, sand, clay, ore, etc.

The elevator’s traction mechanism is the circular chain, materials with higher temperature can also be conveyed. In addition, the bucket elevator can be widely used in various feed mills, flour mills, rice mills, oil factories, starch factories, grain warehouses, ports, and other bulk materials.

Well elevating conveyor/Elevator refers to the large machinery with high power and strong lifting ability. It completes the cargo transportation through the power mechanical drag. The steel wire rope is an indispensable part of crane machinery. The main varieties are phosphating coated steel wire rope, galvanized steel wire rope, stainless steel wire rope, smooth steel wire rope and so on.

Characteristics of bucket elevator

1.Low drive powder. There is no feeding back, packing and less reactive powder by adopting flow type feeding and induction unloading with large volume hopper.

2.Large elevating range. Bucket elevator has little demand for materials’ type and characteristics except it cannot convey powder or small particle materials. And it can convey large particle materials; well sealed; less pollution.

3.Stable performance; advanced technology and processing method ensure stable operation and the failure-free time is over 20,000 hours; high elevating height; stable operation makes it possible to elevate high.

4.Long life expectancy. It adopts flow feeding so that there is no need to use the hopper and there is no collision among the materials. Design of Fote bucket elevator ensures that there is less loss when feeding and unloading to decrease the abrasion.

Different kinds of bucket elevator conveyors

Precautions of the bucket elevator conveyors

1.Before the start of bucket elevator, please check its the drive device. The inspection also includes the fastening of driving drum and the lower tensioning device and the bolt connection of drum; lubrication and tensioning conditions of the machine.

2.The elevator should be started without load, and can only be fed after the elevator runs normally. Similarly, please ensure that the internal materials of the equipment have been processed completely before parking. The on-load startup or on-load shutdown of the equipment will seriously damage the equipment itself and reduce its production efficiency.

Working principle of the bucket elevator

At work, the bucket elevator hopper scoops the materials from the storage below. As the conveyor belt or chain is lifted to the top, it bypasses the wheelset and turns down to pour the material into the receiving tank. Rubber belt is generally used, installed in the driving drum and change the drum of the upper and lower.

Chain bucket elevator is generally equipped with two parallel transmission chain, on or below with a pair of driving sprocket wheel, under or above with a pair of diversion sprocket wheel. It’s usually equipped with a casing to prevent dust from flying in it and reduce environmental pollution.
