Type and maintenance of bucket elevator

Bucket elevators can handle a variety of materials, and therefore are used in many different industries and applications, though generally, they are not suited for wet, sticky materials, or materials that are stringy or tend to mat or agglomerate.Some of the most common places bucket elevators are employed include:
♦ Fertilizer Plants
♦ Potash Compaction Plants
♦ Sand Processing
♦ Lime Processing
♦ Power Plants
♦ Pulp & Paper Mills
♦ Steel Production Plants


Bucket elevator with large throughput ,great enhancing – height ,stable and reliable operation ,long life and other significant advantages.

bucket elevator


There are two common bucket elevator designs seen in bulk material handling facilities worldwide:

Centrifugal Bucket Elevators

The centrifugal style elevator operates at higher speeds to throw the material by centrifugal action out of the buckets into the discharge spout as the buckets pass over the head pulley/sprocket.

The buckets are spaced in wider intervals to prevent discharge interference from the preceding bucket and to assure maximum fill of the buckets at the boot end while moving at a higher speed.


Continuous Bucket Elevators

Continuous bucket elevators are designed to handle friable, fragile materials to minimize product degradation or damage.They are also ideal for handling sluggish or abrasive materials.The continuous style elevator operates at a lower speed to minimize breakage of friable materials.


Maintenance

► Bucket elevator should be empty load drive.Before stopping the machine should be discharged in all the hopper of the material, and then stop;

► Can not reverse;

► Uniform feeding. A sudden increase in the volume of feed ban.The feeding amount can not exceed the capacity of lifting and conveying machine;

► Add oil in time;

► Replace worn parts in time.
