Sand Bucket Elevator

What is Sand Bucket Elevator?

Sand bucket elevator is suitable for lifting sand from a low place to a high place. After the sand is put into the hopper through the discharge hopper, the machine automatically and continuously runs upward and transports it upwards. Multiple hoppers are installed at intervals of the bucket elevator. When working, the sand and other materials will be transported to the bucket by the bucket elevator. When it is filled, all the sand in the bucket is lifted and unloaded into the warehouse.

 

What types of Sand Bucket Elevator are there?

Sand bucket elevators can be divided into three types: Z type, TH/TD type, and NE type according to different conveying requirements and sand characteristics.

Z-Type Bucket Elevator: Ideal for high-capacity sand lifting in cement plants

TH/TD Chain Bucket Elevator: Best for abrasive materials like silica sand

NE-type plate chain elevator: Suitable for medium and large-particle materials such as ore, limestone, clinker, etc., with high load-bearing capacity and wear resistance.

What are the applications of Sand Bucket Elevator?

Sand bucket elevator is mainly used in sand field, construction company or foundry to lift all kinds of sand. It can lift the sand vertically to a storage bin with a certain height. It is widely used in quartz sand, foundry sand, ceramsite sand, high temperature sand, River sand, etc.

What are the advantages of Sand Bucket Elevator?

Efficient conveying: The processing capacity is up to 200 tons/h, and the lifting height can reach 60 meters, which can meet the needs of large-scale sand conveying.

Space saving: The vertical conveying design occupies a small area and is suitable for production environments with limited space.

Reduce material loss: The optimized bucket design ensures that sand is not easily spilled during the conveying process, reducing waste.

Dust-proof design: Optional sealing cover or dust removal system can be used to reduce dust leakage and improve the working environment.

Wear-resistant and durable: The key components are made of high-strength materials, which are suitable for highly abrasive materials such as sand and gravel, and extend the service life of the equipment.

How does the Sand Bucket Elevator work?

The sand bucket elevator lifts sand from the bottom feed port to the top discharge port through a continuously circulating hopper. The hopper is fixed on a transmission belt or chain. As the transmission device operates, the hopper loads sand from the bottom, unloads the sand to the designated location after passing through the top drive wheel, and then returns to the bottom, repeating the cycle to achieve continuous transportation.

Sand Bucket Elevator Customer Case

Application scenario	Lift height	Lift capacity	Features
A large cement plant needs to transport silica sand from the ground to a 30-meter-high raw material warehouse for cement batching.	30 meters	120 tons/hour	Wear-resistant deep bucket (to prevent silica sand wear), dust-proof seal design (to reduce dust emission), variable frequency speed regulation (to adapt to different production needs)
A certain automotive parts foundry needs to lift the foundry sand from the underground recovery pit to the regeneration system.	15 meters	60 tons/hour	Non-magnetic chain plate design (to avoid metal debris adsorption), removable wear-resistant lining (for easy cleaning and maintenance), emergency brake device (to prevent sudden shutdown and backflow)
A certain quartz sand processing plant needs to lift the high-temperature dry sand (200°C) from the dryer outlet to the grading screen.	25 meters	180 tons/hour	Heat-resistant steel bucket (304 stainless steel) (resistant to 300°C), high-temperature chain lubrication system (automatic oil filling, anti-jamming), air-cooled motor (to avoid overheating shutdown)

 

1. Some time ago, we sent a sand bucket elevator with a lifting height of 5 meters to Mongolian customers. It is used for short feeding of quartz sand. The crushed quartz sand is fed to the linear vibrating screen through the elevator. In the past two days, the customer has added a 15-meter storage tank. There is also a 10-meter and a 6-meter one. In the customer's case, there is no need to manually guide the installation this time, and the workers have already installed it. Our bucket elevator is used to transport various powder materials and small particle ore materials.

2. Dry powder mortar is a granular or powdery material that, after drying and sieving, is physically mixed by aggregates (such as quartz sand), inorganic cementitious materials (such as cement) and additives (such as polymers), and then When transported to the building, it can be bagged or in bulk at the site, and can be used directly after mixing with water. In the whole dry mortar production line, various equipments need to cooperate with each other, such as screening equipment, conveying equipment, bucket elevators play a very important role in the dry mortar industry. A few days ago, a customer from Vietnam came to inquire about the design plan for the upgrade of the entire production line.
