One of the problems in the use of bucket elevators

Chain swing is one of the common problems with bucket elevators. The following editors share the reasons and solutions for the chain swing of bucket elevator:

1. After installing the bucket elevator, it needs to run without load and then needs to be reloaded. As the amount of material increases, the bucket elevator appears the phenomenon of tail chain teeth jumping and chassis vibration.

Solution: The bucket elevator must be inspected in detail, including ① the lifting of the hopper in the bucket; ② whether the front wheel is worn; ③ whether the front wheel is inclined due to long-term work, chain, front wheel, tail wheel gear, etc. There may be a corresponding degree of wear, and the shaft pin on the bucket elevator chain will also have a corresponding degree of wear, resulting in a corresponding degree of chain looseness. During the operation of the elevator, the chain will sway. If the user does not pay attention, long-term use will cause other parts of the bucket elevator to malfunction, such as the chain falling off or the chain breaking. Therefore, the protection of the equipment cannot be hasty, and any small problems must be solved in time.

2. The chain of the bucket elevator shakes together with the front wheels, and the chain and the gears are not properly meshed, resulting in noise.

Solution: A simple and effective method is to adjust the bolt of the tension bucket elevator to tighten the chain. Since materials inevitably appear during the unloading process of the bucket elevator, the materials will overflow on the front wheels or the rear wheels, so that the front wheels and the rear wheels are covered by the materials. Even during the lifting process, the gears will slip and increase Gear wear.

3. The degree of wear of the tail gear of the bucket elevator is different, and a single chain plate of the chain will wear a lot of dents.

Solution: Check the front and rear wheels for damage in time, and clean the front and rear wheels in time. In terms of materials, the broken teeth should be replaced in time to avoid affecting the operation of the equipment.

4. When the bucket elevator is in operation, if the front and rear wheels are not on the center line, the chain will be seriously worn, and long-term use will cause cracks.

Solution: Adjust the direction of the bucket wheel and tail wheel of the bucket elevator, determine the center line, and then carry out commissioning work.

The above is the reason and solution of the chain swing of the bucket elevator. If you want to know more about the equipment, welcome to continue to pay attention to our company website. See you next time!
