Heavy duty bucket elevator

What is a Heavy duty bucket elevator?

Heavy duty bucket elevator is a vertical conveying equipment designed for high-load, large-particle, and high-temperature materials. It drives the bucket through a high-strength chain or belt to achieve vertical lifting from 0.5 meters to 110 meters. Its core design breaks through traditional limitations. For example, the ultra-high bucket elevator we developed has been successfully used in the Mongolian New Energy Project, stably conveying high-temperature waste slag at an altitude of 110 meters. It uses thickened wear-resistant steel, anti-corrosion coating and intelligent sensor system, which can withstand 900℃ high temperature and 10 times gravity acceleration vibration shock. It is suitable for continuous and efficient transportation of limestone, cement clinker, gypsum, lump coal and other materials in extreme working conditions such as mines, metallurgy, and ports.

What types of heavy duty bucket elevators are there?

Heavy duty bucket elevator can be divided into NE series plate chain bucket elevator (NE15-NE800, conveying capacity 15-800m³/h), TH/HL series chain bucket elevator (suitable for medium and low load conveying) and D-type deep bucket elevator (suitable for powdery and small particle materials); among them, NE series is the first choice for heavy-duty conditions, adopting double-row chain structure (NE50 and above) to ensure stable operation under high load. You can choose according to material properties and use environment.

What are the characteristics of heavy duty bucket elevator?

Heavy duty bucket elevator has ultra-high wear resistance and large conveying capacity, which is very suitable for operation in harsh environments.

Super strong load-bearing capacity: using high-quality alloy steel plate chain, the wear resistance is far superior to ordinary chains. Compared with traditional belt conveyors, the floor space is reduced by 40%, and the conveying efficiency is increased by 3 times.

Optimum for extreme environments: using special steel and sealing structure, it can withstand 900℃ high temperature, acid and alkali corrosion and dust environment. The dust-proof design reduces the dust concentration in the workshop by 90%, achieving dust-free, noise-free, odor-free and unmanned.

What is the working principle of the heavy duty bucket elevator?

The operation of the heavy duty bucket elevator is divided into feeding-lifting-unloading. After the material enters the hopper through gravity feeding, the plate chain drives the hopper to rise vertically until the material is discharged by gravity at the top, and the cycle continues.
