Bucket Elevator
Capacity: 1-1000 TPH
Feeding Size: 0-100 mm
Discharging Size: 0-100 mm
Handling Materials: Ore, sand and gravel, cement, etc
Bucket elevator lifts bulk materials (e.g., grains, ores) via motor-driven buckets, handling 1-1,000t/h with 0-100mm particle sizes. Ideal for high-efficiency lifting up to 100m, it consumes 50-70% less energy than pneumatic systems. Avoid sticky or explosive materials.
Advantages
01.
High Efficiency
Lifts materials up to 100m vertically with 50-70% less energy than pneumatic systems, ideal for compact plant layouts.
02.
Gentle Handling
Continuous bucket designs prevent particle breakage for fragile materials (fertilizer grains, charcoal).
03.
Large Capacity
Handles 1-1,000t/h throughput, from fine powders (0.1mm) to coarse lumps (100mm), adapting to diverse industries.
04.
Low Maintenance
Robust steel chains/buckets last 5-8 years in abrasive applications (cement/clinker) with minimal lubrication.
How Does A Bucket Elevator Work
1. Material Loading: Bulk goods (0–100mm) are fed into the boot section, where moving buckets scoop them up (centrifugal type) or are pre-filled (continuous type).
2. Vertical Traction: Motor-driven chains/belts lift the buckets upward at 0.5–4 m/s, guided by steel casing to prevent swaying or spillage.
3. Discharge Mechanism: At the top: Centrifugal discharge: Buckets flip, ejecting material via centrifugal force (for free-flowing powders); continuous discharge: Buckets tip gently, minimizing breakage (for fragile lumps).
4. Return Cycle: Empty buckets descend outside the casing, completing the loop. Sealed design contains dust.
