Bucket elevator, also called a material handling elevator, is a kind of conveying equipment to automatically lift raw materials from low place to high place. It is widely used in grain factories, the food industry, the chemical industry, etc. Besides, it is also the indispensable cement plant equipment that is applicable to vertically lift limestone, coal, gypsum, clinker, dry clay, and other solid block materials and small granular materials, as well as cement, pulverized coal, and other powder materials.
Types Of Bucket Elevator
The bucket elevator produced by our company can be divided into ring chain bucket elevator (TH), plate chain bucket elevator (NE) and belt bucket elevator (TD) according to different traction modes.
Chain Bucket Elevator
Ring chain bucket elevator is a commonly used lifting machine. The TH series elevators using ring chain as the transmission part has a strong mechanical strength, mainly used for conveying low-abrasive powder, granule, and small block materials, such as coal, cement, gravel, sand, fertilizer and grain, whose bulk density is less than 1.5t/m³. Its lifting height can reach about 50m, and the material temperature is required to be below 250℃.
Chain Bucket Elevator
The plate chain bucket elevator is the new type of lifting equipment. It adopts plate chain as the transmission part, suitable for the vertical conveying of powder, granular, and block materials, also suitable to lift materials with high abrasive properties, such as fly ash, slag, limestone, cement raw materials, cement clinker, cement, coal, dry clay and so on. The material temperature generally does not exceed 250℃, and the lifting height is up to 40m.
Belt Bucket Conveyor
The traction component of the belt bucket elevator is conveyor belt. This elevator has a simple structure and is commonly used in the lifting of conventional materials, suitable for vertical lifting powder, granular, small blocks and other bulk materials, such as grain, coal, cement, and crushed ore, unsuitable for conveying the materials with high abrasive properties. The maximum lifting height is 40m, and the material temperature does not exceed 60℃.
