Do you know what are the characteristics of bucket elevators?

Bucket elevator is a fixed mechanical conveying equipment, mainly suitable for continuous vertical lifting of powder, granular and small materials. It can be widely used in the upgrade of bulk materials in feed mills, flour mills, rice mills and oil plants of various sizes, factories, starch plants, grain warehouses, ports, etc.

Bucket elevators are used to vertically lift lump and granular materials such as limestone, coal, gypsum, clinker, and dry clay, as well as powder materials that pass through the crusher (such as raw meal, cement and coal powder). According to the speed of the hopper, it can be divided into three types: centrifugal discharge, gravity discharge and mixed discharge. The centrifugal unloading hopper has a faster speed and is suitable for conveying powdery, granular, small lumps and other low-abrasive materials; the gravity unloading hopper has a slower speed and is suitable for conveying massive and large specific gravity materials. With highly abrasive materials, such as limestone, clinker, etc., the traction components include loop chains, plate chains and tapes. The structure and manufacture of the chain are relatively simple, and the connection with the hopper is also very strong. When transporting abrasive materials, the wear of the chain is small, but its own weight is relatively large. The plate chain structure is relatively strong and light in weight. It is suitable for hoists with larger lifting capacity, but the articulated joints are prone to wear. The structure of the belt is relatively simple, but it is not suitable for conveying abrasive materials. The temperature of ordinary belt materials does not exceed 60°C, the temperature of materials made of steel cord tape can reach 80°C, the temperature of heat-resistant tape can reach 120°C, and the temperature of the material conveyed by the conveyor belt does not exceed 60°C. Chains and plate chains can reach 250°C.

Features of bucket elevator:

1. Driving force: small driving force, feeding, induction discharge, dense layout of large-capacity hoppers. There is almost no material return and digging phenomenon when lifting materials, so the ineffective power is very small.

2. Lifting range: wide lifting range. This type of hoist has lower requirements on the type and characteristics of materials. It can not only upgrade general powdery and small particle materials, but also upgrade materials with greater abrasiveness. Good airtightness, environmental protection, and less pollution.

3. Operation ability: Good operation reliability, advanced design principles and processing methods ensure the reliability of the whole machine operation, and the trouble-free time exceeds 20,000 hours. High lifting height. The hoist runs smoothly, so it can reach a higher lifting height.

4. Service life: long service life. The feed of the hoist adopts the inflow type, no bucket is needed to excavate the material, and there is almost no squeeze and collision between the materials. The design of the machine can ensure that the material is rarely scattered during the feeding and unloading process, thereby reducing mechanical wear.
