Elevator with bucket system
designed for vertical transport in both directions of materials of any capacity
It can be applied in various industrial sectors such as: food; pharmaceutical; chemical; ceramic; dairy; agricultural; mining; extractive;
The structure of the bucket elevator is very thick or in wear-resistant sheet metal, and is built and sized according to the customer's needs and the material to be transported.
Its narrow architecture allows the use of this system even in very small spaces. It consists of a loading part and an unloading part. The loading one is made up of a return roller, specifically designed to prevent material from seeping into the belt. In the unloading one, the roller is covered with rubber divided into sections to allow for easy replacement. The reducer is installed based on the total height of the elevator.
Bucket elevator
A vertical conveyor system used primarily to lift bulk materials
A bucket elevator, or bucket conveyor, is a vertical conveyor system used primarily to lift bulk materials, such as grain, ore, coal, cement, etc. It is a type of conveyor belt that has a series of buckets or buckets attached at regular intervals to a belt or chain.
Main Features:
Buckets: The buckets are fixed on a belt or chain that moves along a vertical or inclined path. These buckets collect the material from the bottom of the elevator and transport it upwards.
Movement: The belt or chain is moved by a motor that can vary in power depending on the size of the elevator and the material to be transported.
Feeding and unloading: The material is introduced into the elevator via a feed hopper and is unloaded at the top, where the buckets turn upside down.
Advantages:
Efficiency: It allows you to transport large quantities of material vertically or on steep slopes, taking up little space on the ground.
Continuity: Provides a continuous flow of materials, useful for industrial processes.
Versatility: Can be used for a wide range of materials, including granular, powdery or small pieces.
Bucket elevators are widely used in various industries such as agriculture (for grain handling), mining, cement manufacturing, and other bulk material handling in industrial.
