Bucket Elevator for Sand

What is Bucket Elevator for Sand?

Bucket Elevator for Sand is a continuous vertical conveying equipment specially designed for lifting various types of sand and gravel materials, including river sand, machine-made sand, quartz sand, limestone, gypsum, etc. The equipment adopts a closed structure design to effectively prevent dust from spilling out and meet environmental protection requirements. It is an indispensable component in sand and gravel production lines, quarries and construction material processing. It can smoothly transport sand from low places to 80 meters high, with an hourly conveying capacity of up to 900 tons.

Bucket Elevator for Sand uses high-strength wear-resistant materials to manufacture key components, and the hopper is specially reinforced to ensure that it can maintain a long service life when transporting highly abrasive sand and gravel. The equipment is equipped with an intelligent control system that can achieve automatic operation and significantly reduce manual operation costs.

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)
