Bucket elevator design
Bucket elevators provide an ideal way to vertically transport material within a facility, keeping equipment in the smallest space and safely transporting continuous, high-capacity bulk material.
So how do elevators work in simple terms?
Bucket elevators provide a cost-effective solution for vertically transporting fertilizer, sand, grain, calcine, lime, etc. They are also the preferred choice when noise is a concern, as they are much quieter than their chain counterparts. Centrifugal bucket elevators use centrifugal force to eject material from buckets as they travel over the head pulley or sprocket. The result of the high speed and bucket spacing is optimized material filling and reduced interaction between buckets.
Continuous bucket elevators operate at a lower speed with closely spaced buckets compared to centrifugal bucket elevators. This action allows material to flow from the back of the preceding bucket to aid in discharge. A wide variety of bucket elevators are designed to suit the characteristics of the bulk material and the process requirements. Below you can get an idea of how the system works from the animation of how the elevators work.
Bucket elevators are ideal for handling a variety of products including:
〉Fertilizer related transportation
〉 Cereal and Grain related transportation
〉 Coffee and Tea related transportation
〉 Pasta related transportation
〉 Soft or flexible foods related transportation
〉 Chocolate and Confectionery related transportation
〉 Fruit and Vegetable related transportation
〉 Sugar related transportation
〉 Salt related transportation
〉 Spices related transportation
〉 Medicine related transportation
〉 Powders and similar chemicals related transportation
〉 Soaps and detergents related transportation
〉 Sand and Minerals related transportation
〉 Metal components related transportation
〉 Plastic components related transportation
〉 Coins related transportation
〉 Frozen related transportation
We design bucket elevators suitable for every sector.
Because they are completely custom, bucket elevators can be used for a wide variety of applications. A bucket elevator is used to move a variety of bulk materials upwards. Vertical elevators rely on centrifugal force to move materials into the discharge chute and operate at high speed.
The bottom of a centrifugal bucket elevator has a rounded spaced bucket.
These buckets are mounted close together or separately on the elevator. The bucket elevator consists of a flat chain to which a small bucket is bolted. Rubber belts with plastic buckets are often used. Pulleys of specified diameters are used on the top and bottom. The pulley is driven by an electric motor. The elevator ensures that the materials are sent to the selected bin.
Frequently asked questions
Industrial equipment is the backbone of a variety of industries, increasing operational efficiency and productivity while supporting quality control. But to do this, such equipment must be reliable, efficient and durable. It all starts with the assembly of high-quality parts.
Experience is key when choosing an equipment provider. Be wary of startups that promise big results but lack the insight and scalability that comes with experience. Our company has been in the industry for over 25 years with 100% equity.
