How to Choose Bucket Elevator

Bucket elevator is also called hopper machine, is a vertical transport equipment commonly used in lifting materials. Bucket elevator with a small footprint, high efficiency, affordable and so on. Our company has been carried out on the bucket to spare no effort to research and development, advancing with the times in the front of the industry. Our design the bucket with a reasonable structure, good quality, advanced design, easy maintenance and other characteristics, is the majority of customers choice. So in the industrial production and how to choose bucket elevator?

1. Bucket elevator original parameters: material name, material properties (particle size, loose density t / cube, temperature, humidity, viscosity, grinding, etc.), delivery volume / h, lifting height.
2. Bucket elevator hopper form:
A. Shallow hopper (Q): The front wall slope large and small, suitable for wet and poor dispersion of the material.
B. Deep hopper (S): The front wall slope small and deep, suitable for dry and dispersible materials.

3. The type of bucket elevator traction components:
A. Tape: Low cost, low quality, can use a higher speed, work smoothly, low noise, but the tape strength is low, the hopper in the tape on the fixed part of the weak link, so the height is generally not big.
B. Chain hoist: The opposite with the tape, allowing a larger lifting height, but the chain drive will produce dynamic load.
4. Bucket machine charging characteristics:
A. Dig type: Mainly used for conveying powder, small particles, small pieces of non-polished and semi-polished bulk material, will not produce a lot of resistance, the speed of 0.8 ~ 2m / s.
B. Inflow type: Mainly used for conveying large pieces and grinding material, hopper layout is very close, hopper speed is low, generally not more than 1m / s, and more for gravity discharge.

5. Bucket elevator unloading characteristics:
A. Centrifugal discharge: For a good dispersion of powder, small particles, small pieces of material, mainly for belt hoist, bucket speed faster, the speed generally take 1 ~ 2m / s, now has 5m / s
B. Gravity discharge: For large pieces and grinding materials, and the use of hopper continuous arrangement, the slower pace, the speed generally take 0.4 ~ 0.6m / s
C. Mixed discharge: Between the two, the speed generally is 0.6 ~ 0.8m / s.
6. Installation: vertical, inclined
Through this five simple features we can carry out a simple preliminary selection on bucket elevator, but according to the conditions of climate is not the same, we have to according to the specific parameters of the bucket machine data to select.
