Dry mortar, as a powdery and granular mixture composed of cement, quartz sand, lime powder and additives, has the characteristics of good fluidity, easy dusting and slight abrasiveness. Its conveying link directly affects production efficiency and cost. Traditional conveying methods are prone to dust pollution, material damage and excessive energy consumption, while bucket elevators adopt a fully enclosed structure to effectively prevent dust leakage; wear-resistant bucket design to extend the service life of the equipment; low-speed and stable operation to reduce material breakage and segregation.

Dry mortar bucket elevator drives the bucket through a chain or belt to achieve continuous conveying of dry powder materials (such as dry-mixed mortar, high-grade mortar, etc.) from low to high positions. It is particularly suitable for efficient lifting of powdery and granular materials, minimizing material residue and loss, and is widely used in dry mortar production lines, premixed mortar plants, building materials plants and other industries.

Why must a dedicated bucket elevator be selected for Dry mortar production?

In the dry mortar production line, materials need to be lifted from the low-level storage silo to the high-level mixer. Traditional conveying equipment such as screw conveyors or belt conveyors cannot meet the needs of vertical lifting, and ordinary bucket elevators are difficult to cope with the particularity of dry mortar. Professionally designed Dry mortar bucket elevators have the following irreplaceable advantages:

High vertical space utilization: small footprint, lifting height up to 60 meters, especially suitable for dry mortar production lines with limited plant space.

Excellent sealing and dustproof performance: fully enclosed design with special sealing structure, dust leakage is lower than the national environmental protection standard, and the working environment is clean.

Low energy consumption and high efficiency: using inflow feeding and induction unloading, less invalid power, more than 30% energy saving than similar equipment.

Wear-resistant and durable design: in view of the wear characteristics of dry mortar, the hopper and chain made of high manganese steel or polymer materials are used, and the service life is increased by 3-5 times compared with ordinary materials.

What are the types of dry mortar bucket elevators?

According to the different traction components and unloading methods, Dry mortar bucket elevator is mainly divided into four types: TD belt, NE plate chain, TH ring chain, TGD wire belt, etc., which can be selected according to material characteristics and application scenarios.

Model	Traction method	Maximum lifting height	Conveying capacity range	Applicable temperature	Features	Suitable materials
TD type Dry mortar bucket elevator	Rubber belt	40m	5.4-166m³/h	Ordinary tape ≤60℃, heat-resistant tape ≤120℃)	Smooth operation and low noise	Powdered, small granular non-abrasive or semi-abrasive materials
NE type Dry mortar bucket elevator	Plate chain	40m	15-800m³/h	≤250℃	Good wear resistance and long life	Dry mortar with high abrasiveness
TH type Dry mortar bucket elevator	Ring chain	50m	35-365m³/h	≤250℃	Simple structure, high temperature resistance	High temperature, abrasive materials
TGD type Dry mortar bucket elevator	Steel wire tape	60m	Depending on the model	≤120℃	Large lifting height	Dry mortar with high lifting height

Dry mortar bucket elevator Working principle

The working principle of the bucket elevator for dry mortar is to drive the conveyor belt to move by the motor to drive the reducer to load the bulk material onto the bucket lift. The chain or belt of the bucket lift moves under the drive to lift the bulk material from the bottom to the top. When the material reaches the target height, it is transported to the required position through a conveyor belt or a pipeline.

What are the applications of Dry mortar bucket elevator?

Dry mortar bucket elevator is commonly used in the production of dry mortar in the building materials industry (lifting raw materials such as cement, sand, additives to the mixer), premixed mortar transportation (lifting finished mortar to the packaging machine or bulk bin), insulation mortar production (vertical transportation of lightweight aggregates and cementitious materials), tile adhesive production (raw material lifting and finished product transportation), etc. It can also be used for lifting and conveying dry powder additives in the chemical industry, lifting raw materials (alumina, magnesia, etc.) in the production of refractory materials in the metallurgical and ceramic industries, and vertical transportation of various powder raw materials in the preparation of ceramic glazes.

Typical application scenarios:

Lifting link from weighing scale to mixer in dry mortar production line

Transportation of finished mortar from mixer to packaging machine or bulk bin

Vertical transportation of raw materials from ground storage bin to production equipment upstairs

Material transfer between production processes on different floors

 

Dry mortar bucket elevator is a critical component in the production process of dry mortar mixes, ensuring efficient and reliable vertical transport of materials. Its high capacity, gentle handling, and customizable design make it an essential tool for optimizing material handling in various industries, ultimately contributing to increased productivity and product quality.
