What is the reason for the deformation of the hopper of the bucket elevator

A few days ago, a customer reported to us that their bucket elevator had multiple equipment failures and was forced to stop maintenance, which greatly affected the continuous and stable operation. Hope our technicians can go there to find out the reason and solve it.

After learning that there are problems with the bucket elevator hopper, the disassembled hopper was analyzed, and most of the hopper back plates have a certain deformation, but if the deformation is within a controllable range, it will not be affected. It has great influence. If the deformation is too large, it will cause adverse effects. This deformation of the bucket elevator reduces the volume of the hopper and reduces the conveying capacity of the bucket elevator, so that the volume of the output material is smaller than the input material, thereby increasing the thickness of the compacted material layer and the large hopper Part of the front mouth is worn and damaged. Therefore, the reasons for the deformation of the lifting hopper are:

1. The material layer at the bottom of the hoist is squeezed by a heavy hammer.

2. The strength of the hopper itself is not enough. How to improve the strength of the hopper without greatly increasing the weight of the hopper is the key to solving this problem.

The above are the key reasons for the hopper change of the bucket elevator. If you have any questions, please consult Yongming Machinery.
