Bucket Elevator Features and Working Principle

In manufacturing industry, Bucket Elevator (http://www.ecvv.com/product_directory/Bucket-Elevator.html) plays a great role in processing to reduce labor cost and promote the productive. The machine is applicable for the crushed materials, and block materials, such as coal, cement, block, sand, clay and ore.

The bucket elevator with transmission usually adopts rubber band which is equipped in the drive drum top or down. Not like other conveyor equipment for example, Conveyor Belt (http://www.ecvv.com/product_directory/Conveyor-Belt.html) which doesn’t adopt enclosure space totally outdoor work Bucket Elevator is generally equipment with a classis to prevent the dust in it.

This kind of machines has a wide application most because of the following features:

1. Adaption for various shapes of raw materials: Compared with other machinery, with fewer requirements on the type, size and other respects of materials, the Bucket Elevator can easily transit materials of powder, bulk and granule shape. It can also elevate abrasive materials and high-temperature material whose temperature is less than 250 degrees.

2. High lifting height: Height is always up to 30meters high hoisting height. Materials from the hopper to the top with the belt conveyor or chain, and turn downward around the top rounds, then the bucket elevator receives the materials into the tank.

3. Stable function and long service life: Bucket elevator has stable and reliable running and long service life. The bucket elevator is allowed to convey materials with high temperature when armed with special circle chain structure. Besides, it needs little maintenance and the parts are not easily damaged.

4. Large conveying amount: Bucket elevator has the advantages of big conveying capacity with smaller mechanical size. Compared with other sorts of elevators which have the same elevating capacity, the elevator has rather small mechanical size. It is good for decrease the storage cost because of smaller occupied space.

5. Easy and convenient operation: Especially used for lifting the crushed materials and block materials, the advanced designing principle guarantees the reliable operation of the whole machine.

Besides above features, good airproof property, little environment pollution and Low producing cost are all the advantages of the Bucket elevator.
