NE Plate Chain Bucket Elevator for Cement Clinker

What is the NE Plate Chain Bucket Elevator for Cement Clinker?

In cement production, the continuous, stable, and efficient lifting of clinker directly impacts the overall operating efficiency of the production line. Due to the characteristics of clinker, such as high temperature, high wear, large particles, and high conveying capacity, ordinary belt conveyors are prone to slippage, severe wear, material return, and frequent maintenance issues.

The NE Plate Chain Bucket Elevator for Cement Clinker is a high-efficiency bucket elevator designed for the vertical conveying of cement clinker. It uses a high-strength plate chain structure as the traction mechanism, combined with wear-resistant buckets and gravity unloading. It can meet the needs of cement plants operating continuously, at high temperatures, and with high output. It is available in a complete range of specifications, covering 11 models from NE15 to NE800, with lifting capacities ranging from 15 to 800 m³/h. The maximum lifting height can reach 60 meters, and the material temperature can withstand below 250℃. It is commonly used in clinker coolers, clinker silos, cement grinding stations, and packaging production lines to achieve automated material lifting.

What are the advantages of the NE Plate Chain Bucket Elevator for Cement Clinker?

The NE Plate Chain Bucket Elevator for Cement Clinker is designed for high-temperature conditions, capable of consistently conveying clinker at temperatures up to 250°C, perfectly meeting the needs of continuous cement production. It utilizes a high-strength alloy plate chain and wear-resistant hoppers, significantly resisting the erosion and wear of clinker particles and extending equipment lifespan. In terms of performance, its conveying capacity ranges from 15–800 m³/h, with a lifting height of up to 60 m, flexibly adapting to different production lines and multi-story high-level conveying. Its unique inflow loading and gravity unloading method effectively reduces the risk of backflow and blockage, ensuring clean and efficient operation. The entire machine has a stable and reliable structure, with continuous operating time exceeding 8000 hours and low maintenance costs, bringing users long-term, economical operational returns.

How does the NE Plate Chain Bucket Elevator for Cement Clinker work?

In the operation of supplying cement clinker, the cement clinker enters the equipment through the bottom feed inlet. As the plate chain operates continuously, the hoppers mounted on the chain lift the clinker to the top discharge area. When the hoppers reach the head, gravity and centrifugal force discharge the material, which then returns to the bottom via the return section for repeated operation. The entire conveying process uses a closed structure, effectively reducing dust spillage and improving the quality of the on-site environment.

What are the structural components of the NE Plate Chain Bucket Elevator for Cement Clinker?

The NE Plate Chain Bucket Elevator for Cement Clinker consists of a drive unit, a high-strength plate chain, deep hoppers, a head discharge section, a tail tensioning section, and a fully enclosed protective housing. The drive unit consists of a three-phase asynchronous motor, a hardened gear reducer, and a flexible pin coupling. It provides high output torque and constant speed. The reducer has a built-in backstop to effectively prevent the chain from reversing when the machine stops under full load, ensuring safety. The plate chain is forged from high-quality alloy steel. The chain plates and sleeves are carburized and quenched, resulting in high surface hardness and a tensile strength exceeding 1000MPa, enabling long-term resistance to clinker wear and impact. The hopper is designed as a deep hopper structure, with customizable opening width and depth. The hopper bottom is rounded, allowing materials to slide out quickly during unloading, reducing adhesion and material backflow. The fully enclosed shell is welded from 6mm thick steel plates, with sealing gaskets connecting each section, ensuring excellent overall airtightness. This not only isolates dust but also allows connection to a dust extraction pipeline. Inspection doors are located on the side of the shell for easy internal inspection.

What are the applications of the NE Plate Chain Bucket Elevator for Cement Clinker?

The NE Plate Chain Bucket Elevator for Cement Clinker is widely used in building materials, metallurgy, power, mining, and chemical industries. It is particularly suitable for vertically conveying powdery, granular, and small lump materials such as cement clinker and raw materials. For cement clinker, this equipment can convey conventional, highly abrasive, and high-temperature (≤250℃) types. For different material characteristics, the main configuration options include: selecting from 11 models ranging from NE15 to NE800 based on conveying capacity and material particle size; NE30 and below models use single-row chains, while NE50 and above use double-row chains to enhance load-bearing capacity; hoppers of different volumes and wear-resistant alloy steel plate chains can also be configured to extend service life.
