Bucket Elevator for Coal

What is Bucket Elevator for Coal?

Bucket Elevator for Coal is a vertical conveying equipment designed for the coal industry. It is suitable for vertical lifting of various coal materials such as lump coal, pulverized coal, lignite, anthracite, coke, etc. The lifting height is 3-60 meters and the conveying capacity is up to 800 tons/hour. The equipment adopts high-strength chain or belt traction and is equipped with a wear-resistant bucket to ensure efficient, stable and low-fault operation during coal transportation.

Coal has the characteristics of strong abrasiveness, easy dust, and large humidity changes. Ordinary conveying equipment is prone to wear and blockage. The coal bucket elevator adopts a fully enclosed structure to reduce dust spillage; wear-resistant material bucket to extend service life; low return material design to improve conveying efficiency, which is an ideal choice for the coal industry.

What are the advantages of Bucket Elevator for Coal?

With its excellent performance and reliable quality, the coal-specific bucket elevator has become the preferred equipment for many coal processing companies. Compared with traditional conveying equipment, our bucket elevator has the following significant advantages:

High-efficiency conveying capacity: specially designed for coal characteristics, the conveying capacity can reach 5-800 tons/hour, meeting the production needs of coal enterprises of different sizes

Wear-resistant and durable structure: using high-strength alloy steel hopper and wear-resistant chain, especially suitable for conveying abrasive coal materials, and the service life is extended by 3-5 times

Fully enclosed design: effectively prevent dust spillage during coal transportation, meet environmental protection requirements, and improve the working environment

Energy saving and consumption reduction: the optimized drive system saves 15-20% energy compared with traditional equipment, significantly reducing operating costs

Intelligent control system: equipped with fault self-diagnosis and remote monitoring functions, realize preventive maintenance and reduce downtime

How to choose bucket elevator for different types of coal?

Bucket Elevator for Coal can be divided into NE series plate chain, TD series belt, heat-resistant type, and stainless steel type according to the type of coal conveyed.

Lump coal (such as anthracite, coking coal): using NE series plate chain Bucket Elevator, wear-resistant chain + deep bucket design to prevent large pieces of coal from falling.

Powdered coal (such as coal powder, lignite): Use TD series belt bucket elevator to seal and prevent dust to prevent coal powder from spilling.

Wet coal (such as washed coal): Use stainless steel hopper + anti-stick coating to prevent coal from sticking.

High temperature coal (such as coke): Use heat-resistant bucket elevator that can withstand high temperatures of 500℃.

How does Bucket Elevator for Coal work?

When Bucket Elevator for Coal is working, the hopper scoops coal from the lower coal bunker, lifts it vertically to the top with the traction chain, and unloads it through centrifugal force or gravity to achieve continuous coal transportation.
