Factors determining the choice of bucket elevator

A bucket elevator is a continuous elevator that uses a series of hoppers that are evenly connected to an annular traction element to lift the material vertically. The bucket elevator uses a series of hoppers connected to the traction chain or tape to transport bulk materials in a vertical or nearly vertical direction. The following editors will explain it in detail.

Bucket elevator consists of hopper, driver, upper and lower rollers (or sprocket), belt (or zipper), tensioner and casing. Bucket elevator is suitable for lifting from low to high. After the raw materials are fed into the hopper through the vibration table, the machine will automatically accelerate continuously. The transmission speed can be set according to the transmission volume, and the lifting height can be selected as required.

As a commonly used lifting equipment, the choice of bucket elevator is limited by many factors, and choosing the wrong model will cause users trouble. Generally, the choice of bucket elevator depends on the following factors:

1. Material form: whether the material is powdery, granular or small.

2. Physical properties of the material: whether the material is adsorbed or viscous, and whether it contains water.

3. Specific gravity of materials: The general parameters of bucket elevator are designed and calculated for materials whose specific gravity is less than 1, 6 during the stacking period. The specific gravity of the material is too large to calculate the traction and tensile strength of the gear parts.

4. Transportation volume per unit time.

In general, the shape of the material directly determines how it is discharged. The common rules are the centrifugal projectile discharge of powdery materials and the gravity discharge of block materials. The different discharge methods determine the different types of hoppers used in bucket elevators. The centrifugal projectile discharge mostly uses shallow buckets and arcs. Bucket, while gravity discharge requires a deep bucket. Different unloading methods determine the differences in the hopper style of the hoist. The above is what Xiaobian shared for everyone.
