Several Types of Bucket Elevator

1. Introduction of bucket elevator

Bucket elevators are often used for vertical transportation of powder, granular and small block materials. The lifting height is generally less than 40m, and the transporting volume is not more than 1600m3/h. It has the advantages of small cross-sectional size, compact layout, large lifting height, and good sealing performance.

2. Types of bucket elevator

There are four types of bucket elevator: TD type, TH type, TB type and NE type. The main difference lies in the material and structure of the draging parts. The hopper of the bucket elevator has different structural forms, which can be divided into deep bucket, shallow bucket, scale bucket (triangular bucket or trapezoidal bucket)

Material loading methods can be divided into digging type and inflow type. Digging type is mainly used for conveying powder, granular and small block non-abrasive or semi-abrasive bulk materials. The layout of the hopper is sparse, the distance between two adjacent hoppers is large, and the traction speed of the traction chain is higher, about 0.8~2m/s. The inflow type is mainly used for conveying large blocky and highly abrasive materials. The hoppers are densely arranged, and the distance between two adjacent hoppers is small to prevent materials from being scattered. The draging chian speed is low, generally less than 1m/s.
