Operating speed 0.8-3.5 m/s

What is Bucket Elevator for Sand?

Bucket Elevator for Sand is a bucket elevator for lifting various sand and gravel materials (including river sand, machine-made sand, quartz sand, limestone, gypsum, etc.); it can smoothly transport sand and gravel from a low place to a height of 80 meters, with a conveying capacity of up to 900 tons per hour. It is the preferred equipment for sand and gravel production lines, quarries and building material processing plants.

Bucket Elevator for Sand is made of carbon steel (Q235), stainless steel (304/316) and wear-resistant steel (NM360/400), which can meet the corrosion resistance, wear resistance and lightweight requirements of different working conditions. Common models include TD series (general purpose, lifting height ≤40m), TH series (chain type, bulk materials), NE series (plate chain type, high efficiency and heavy load) and HL series (old-style chain), etc., which can be selected according to needs.

What types of Bucket Elevator for Sand are there?

Bucket Elevator for Sand is mainly divided into three categories according to the different traction components: plate chain type, ring chain type and belt type, which can adapt to sand and gravel materials of different particle sizes, humidity and temperature.

Sand type Applicable models Hopper type Features
Dry sand/fine sand TD series (tape type) Shallow bucket (Q type) Lightweight design, anti-clogging
Wet sand/sticky sand TH series (ring chain type) Medium-deep bucket (ZH type) Anti-adhesion, moisture-resistant
Crushed stone/mechanical sand TH series (heavy chain) Deep bucket (SH type) Impact-resistant, strong wear resistance
High-temperature sand (such as foundry sand) TH high-temperature resistant type Heat-resistant steel bucket Can withstand high temperatures of 250℃
Large, highly abrasive sand and gravel materials, such as granite crushed stone, limestone, etc. NE series plate chain type Using high-strength alloy steel plate chain as traction parts The maximum conveying capacity can reach 900t/h and the lifting height can reach 40 meters

Why choose Bucket Elevator for Sand?

Bucket Elevator for Sand adopts high-strength chain or belt traction, combined with intensive hopper layout, to achieve efficient, stable continuous lifting, fully enclosed structure, and reduce dust pollution during sand and gravel transportation.

Large-capacity transportation: The hopper adopts intensive layout, and the single-machine conveying capacity can reach 900t/h, which meets the needs of large-scale sand and gravel production lines

High efficiency and energy saving: inflow feeding + induced unloading, reduce return material, and reduce power consumption by 30%.

Widely applicable: It can convey dry sand, wet sand, gravel, slag, etc., with a density of ≤1.5t/m³.

Wear-resistant design: The hopper is made of manganese steel or polyurethane, which is suitable for highly abrasive sand and gravel, and the chain and bearings are made of alloy steel, with trouble-free operation for more than 20,000 hours.

What is the principle of Bucket Elevator for Sand?

Bucket Elevator for Sand scoops the material through the hopper, lifts it vertically to the top by the traction part (belt or chain), and discharges it to the discharge port by centrifugal force or gravity. The process is as follows:

Feeding: Sand flows from the lower storage bin into the hopper.

Lifting: The motor drives the traction mechanism to drive the hopper upward.

Discharging: Sand is thrown into the discharge trough at the top by centrifugal force (high speed) or gravity (low speed)
