Solution of Ring Chain Bucket Elevator's Running Swing and Broken Chain Problem

Bucket elevator is a relatively common lifting equipment in the conveying equipment, which has little restriction on materials, so it can be used in various industries. As the main traction component of the bucket elevator, the chain of the equipment will have problems of broken chains and dropped chains during use.

There are several reasons for the chain break and chain swing of bucket elevator:

1. It is related to the nature of the conveyed material. If the conveyed material has fine particles and large viscosity, it is easy to stick between the two endless chains. The more the number of endless chains accumulates, the greater the load on the chain and the more the chain is pulled. Tighten until it is pulled off. The only solution is to loosen the tensioning device of the chain to relieve the excessive pulling force.

2. Chain quality problems, such as excessively high hardness and reduced toughness of the heat treatment of the chain, will cause the chain to fatigue during use and eventually break the chain.

3. In the design and production process, the upper and lower sprockets are not at the center line, causing the chain to deviate during operation, the chain is worn seriously on one side, and the chain will break for a long time.

4. The chain is not replaced in time after being worn, and the hopper hole wears when the upper and lower sprockets bite, which eventually causes the material to break.

5. The chain has not been replaced and maintained for a long time, so that the chain will be broken after a long rust aging time.

6. The wear of the head sprocket, if the head sprocket is seriously worn and not replaced in time, it will largely cause the chain to oscillate during use, and the deflection of the head wheel will also cause the chain to oscillate.

7. Whether the chain is loose, the chain looseness will directly affect the operation of the equipment, causing oscillation and friction of the inner wall of the housing. When the head sprocket is run, there will be no tightness and noise and swing.

The above is the reason why the chain-chain bucket elevator is likely to swing and break the chain during use.

The equipment should be repaired in time when the equipment swings and the chain is broken:

1. When there is a strong swing problem, the lower tensioning device can be used to adjust and tighten the chain.

2. During the unloading process, it is inevitable that the material will be scattered. When swinging the material, it should be observed whether the equipment has loose chains, and the tensioning device should be tightened. If the material is scattered on the head wheel and the tail wheel during unloading, the sprocket will be covered by the material. During the operation, the material strip will slip and wear in the sprocket, and it should be cleaned in time.

3. When there is abnormal noise and serious wear on the head wheel, parts should be replaced in time to prevent more serious failures.

4. When the head wheel is stuck with materials or debris during operation, it should be cleaned in time to prevent chain slippage and equipment swing problems.

The above is the introduction of the operation swing and broken chain of the ring chain bucket elevator and the solution.
