Vertical Bucket Elevator for Cement

What is a Vertical Bucket Elevator for Cement?

A Vertical Bucket Elevator for Cement is a machine used in cement production lines to vertically lift cement materials such as raw meal, clinker, and slag. It uses belts or chains to drive buckets, lifting cement from the ground to a height ranging from 5 meters to 50 meters, with a lifting capacity of up to 800 cubic meters per hour.

Cement materials are highly abrasive. When selecting a Vertical Bucket Elevator for Cement, the buckets and chains are generally made of wear-resistant high-manganese steel, which has a high load-bearing capacity, high strength, and is not easily worn. For cement with temperatures exceeding 300°C, high-temperature resistant traction components are also required to extend the machine's service life.

What types of Vertical Bucket Elevators for Cement are available?

Vertical Bucket Elevators for Cement are mainly divided into two types: open and closed. The open type does not have a casing and consists only of a hopper and a traction device. Users who choose this type generally have limited budgets and do not have high requirements for the cement material being lifted or the working environment. The closed type, on the other hand, completes the entire conveying process inside the casing, with excellent sealing. It is suitable for users with high fineness of cement powder and high requirements for environmental cleanliness, and can effectively prevent dust emission.

What are the advantages of a Vertical Bucket Elevator for Cement?

The Vertical Bucket Elevator for Cement is made of Q345 or wear-resistant steel plate, which has high hardness and can resist the abrasiveness of cement clinker. For cement requiring temperatures exceeding 300°C, a plate chain elevator can be selected, which has strong high-temperature resistance. For cement with high dust levels, it can be connected to a dust collection system to collect dust and prevent environmental pollution. A single unit can lift up to 50 meters, with a lifting capacity from 50 tons to 800 tons per hour, suitable for use in small cement plants to large cement production lines.

How does a Vertical Bucket Elevator for Cement work?

When the Vertical Bucket Elevator for Cement is working, cement is fed into the bottom inlet of the elevator and directly scooped up by the buckets. The buckets filled with cement move upwards under the drive of the traction device. When it reaches the top, under the action of centrifugal force or gravity, the cement is discharged from the outlet, completing the lifting process. The empty buckets return to the bottom for reloading.

What are the applications of a Vertical Bucket Elevator for Cement?

In cement plants, the Vertical Bucket Elevator for Cement is used in every stage from mining to cement packaging. It can be used for vertical or steep-angle lifting of materials such as raw cement meal, finished cement, clinker, slag, and pulverized coal. In raw meal grinding, it lifts the mixed materials such as limestone, clay, and iron powder after batching to the raw meal mill. In clinker calcination and conveying, it lifts the 150℃~250℃ high-temperature clinker discharged from the rotary kiln to the top of the clinker silo, or conveys it to the batching silo before the cement mill. In finished cement production, it lifts the finished cement from the bottom of the cement silo to the top of the packaging machine or bulk silo.

Vertical Bucket Elevator for Cement Case

In the clinker conveying line of a large cement group in China, the clinker temperature at the grate cooler is typically between 180℃ and 220℃. The customer uses an NE300 plate chain Vertical Bucket Elevator for Cement, lifting a height of 43 meters. It has operated continuously for two years without failure, extending the bucket replacement cycle by 40%, and maintaining a system operating rate of over 99%.
