Do you know 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 for upgrading bulk materials in feed mills, flour mills, rice mills, and various sizes of oil plants, factories, starch factories, grain warehouses, ports, and other facilities.

Bucket elevators are used to vertically lift block and granular materials such as limestone, coal, gypsum, clinker, dry clay, as well as powdered materials (such as raw materials, cement, and coal powder) that pass through crushers. According to the speed of the hopper, it can be divided into three types: centrifugal discharge, gravity discharge, and mixed discharge. The centrifugal discharge hopper has a fast speed and is suitable for conveying powders, granules, small pieces, and other low abrasive materials; The gravity discharge hopper has a slower speed and is suitable for conveying bulk and high specific gravity materials. Materials with high abrasion resistance, such as limestone, clinker, etc., traction components include ring chains, plate chains, and tape. The structure and manufacturing of the chain are relatively simple, and the connection with the hopper is also very firm. When transporting grinding materials, the wear of the chain is minimal, but its own weight is relatively large. The plate chain structure is relatively sturdy and lightweight. It is suitable for elevators with high lifting capacity, but the articulated joints are prone to wear and tear. The structure of the belt is relatively simple, but it is not suitable for conveying grinding materials. The temperature of ordinary belt materials does not exceed 60 ℃, while the temperature of materials made of steel wire rope tape can reach 80 ℃. The temperature of heat-resistant tape can reach 120 ℃, and the temperature of the materials conveyed by the conveyor belt does not exceed 60 ℃. Chain and plate chain can reach 250 ℃.

Characteristics of bucket elevator:

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

2. Lifting range: Wide lifting range. This type of hoist has lower requirements for the type and characteristics of materials. It can not only upgrade general powder and small particle materials, but also upgrade materials with greater abrasion resistance. Good sealing, environmentally friendly, and less pollution.

3. Operational capability: Good operational reliability, advanced design principles and processing methods ensure the reliability of the entire machine's operation, with a fault free time exceeding 20000 hours. High lifting height. The hoist runs smoothly, so it can achieve higher lifting heights.

4. Service life: Long service life. The feeding of the elevator adopts an inflow type, which does not require the use of a bucket to excavate materials, and there is almost no compression or collision between materials. The design of this machine ensures that materials are rarely scattered during the feeding and unloading processes, thereby reducing mechanical wear and tear.
