Bucket Elevator

Overview 
Bucket elevator is a continuous conveying machine that uses a series of hoppers uniformly fixed on the endless traction members to vertically lift materials. Bucket elevator uses a series of hoppers fixed on the traction chain or tape to transport bulk materials upward in the vertical or near-vertical direction. the main performance and parameters in line with JB3926-85 "vertical bucket elevator" (the standard refer to international standards and foreign advanced standards) is divided into ring chain, plate chain and belt .
 

Main component
The bucket elevator is composed of  hopper, drive device, top and bottom drum (or sprocket), tape (or traction chain),  tensioning device and  housing.

Structural form
According to the requirements of different industries, it has a very clear classification which can be divided into:
1, TD series bucket elevator
2, TH series bucket elevator
3, NE series plate chain bucket elevator
4, TB series bucket elevator
5, TG series bucket elevator

Model description
1.TD means universal elevator, TH means high efficient elevator, NE means vibration elevator, HL means medium and heavy plate chain bucket elevator
2. Lifting height and unloading height. For example, TD160 means a general-purpose elevator with a lifting height of 16 meters and a unloading height of 3.2 meters.
3. Conveying capacity. For example, TH200 means high efficient elevator with a maximum conveying capacity of 200 tons/hour.
4. Bucket volume and bucket distance. For example, HL400 indicates a medium and heavy plate chain bucket elevator with bucket volume of 4.0L and  bucket distance of 400mm.
5. Other parameters such as bucket velocity, belt velocity, and weight  appear in the model.

The working condition
It is suitable for vertical conveying of medium, large and abrasive materials with material temperature below 250℃.

Main innovations
● Bucket elevator is a conveying equipment for vertical lifting material, it has the advantages of simple structure, low maintenance cost, high conveying efficiency, high lifting height, stable operation, widely application  etc.
● Small driving power, inflow feeding, induced discharge, intensive layout of hopper with large capacity  , there is almost no material return or excavation during material lifting so there is less ineffective power.
● Wide range of lifting, less requirements on the type and characteristics of materials , it  can lifting the general powder, small granular materials  and also can lifting the larger grinding material, with good sealing and less environmental pollution.
● good reliability on operation , its  advanced design and processing to ensure the reliability of the machine , trouble-free time is over 20,000 hours. high lifting height conveying and the elevator runs smoothly.
● long operating life, there is no need to dig with a bucket , rarely extrusion & collision between materials due to inflow type feeding is on the elevator . The machine is designed to ensure that the material is less scattered during feeding & unloading, reducing mechanical wear.

Application industry
It can be used to transport bulk materials on coal, chemical industry, building materials, metallurgy, electric power, light industry, grain, port, ship, thermal power and other industries .
