Bucket Elevator

The optimal solution for vertical material handling

Bucket Elevator

Bucket Elevator Overview

The Bucket Elevator is a common type of vertical material conveying equipment that elevates material from a low to a high level by means of multiple hoppers mounted on a recirculating conveyor belt or chain. It is suitable for vertical or near-vertical conveying needs and is widely used in agriculture, chemical, construction and mining.

Features and Advantages of Bucket Elevator

Features and Advantages

High lifting height

Bucket elevator can achieve up to tens of metres of lifting, can span a large vertical distance, suitable for high-rise plants and other scenes to expand the conveying space.

High conveying efficiency

With high efficient conveying capacity, it can convey a large amount of materials per unit time, and performs well in large-scale production, ensuring fast and smooth material flow.

Strong adaptability

Wide range of materials can be handled, whether it is ordinary materials, or high temperature, corrosive special materials, with the appropriate hopper can operate stably.

Good sealing

Good sealing performance is one of its highlights, can effectively reduce the loss of materials in the conveying process, while reducing the pollution of dust spillage.

Structural Components of Bucket Elevator

Structural Components

Hopper

The hopper is a key part of the loading and conveying of the material. Its shape and material depend on the characteristics of the material to ensure smooth conveying.

Drive unit

The drive unit includes a drive motor, speed reducer, drive chain or drive belt to provide power for the operation of the equipment.

Casing

As an external protection structure, the casing can effectively prevent the material from scattering, avoiding damage to the equipment and ensuring safe operation.

Inlet and outlet

The inlet is used for loading materials, and the outlet is used for unloading materials, both of which have their own duties.

Bucket Elevator Application Scenarios

Application Scenarios

Agriculture

Bucket elevators convey grains, seeds, fertilisers and feeds efficiently, lifting materials from the ground to storage bins or processing equipment, saving manpower.

Food industry

It is used for vertical conveying of bulk materials such as flour, sugar, salt, etc. It has good sealing performance to prevent pollution and ensure food safety and hygiene.

Construction industry

Lifting cement, gravel and other building materials, commonly used in concrete mixing stations and silos, compact structure, small footprint, flexible and adjustable conveying height.

Mining and metallurgy

Conveying heavy-duty materials such as ore, coal, slag, etc., adapting to high-temperature and high abrasion environments, with high lifting efficiency to meet the demand of continuous production.

Frequently Asked Questions.

Bucket elevator is suitable for powdery, granular and small lumpy materials, such as grains, flour, cement, ores, coal and so on. For high temperature, abrasive or easily lumpy materials, high temperature resistant or wear resistant materials can be used.

The lifting height is determined by the conveying demand, and the bucket elevator can generally reach tens of metres in height. According to the site measurement to determine the specific size, Huaxin Machinery can provide different specifications according to the requirements of the equipment.

The materials of Huaxin Machinery’s elevator include carbon steel (suitable for ordinary materials), stainless steel (suitable for food and corrosive materials) and wear-resistant steel (suitable for high abrasion materials). You can choose the right material for the hopper according to the material characteristics.

Huaxin Machinery’s bucket elevator mainly has two types of drive methods: tape type and chain type. Belt type is suitable for light load materials and runs smoothly; chain type is suitable for high temperature or heavy load materials and is more durable.

Chain type bucket elevators can be noisy, while tape type are quieter. Noise can be reduced by regular lubrication, adjusting tensioning devices and installing shock absorbing brackets.
