Tuesday August-05 2025 14:15:43
As a refined grain, rice is very easy to break during transportation. Traditional bucket elevators may have the following problems when transporting rice:
High breakage rate: Mechanical friction, extrusion, etc. can easily cause rice to break, affecting product quality and economic benefits.
Low efficiency: Slow conveying speed and many links affect overall production efficiency.
Pollution risk: Open conveying is easily contaminated by dust and impurities, affecting the hygiene and safety of rice.
Space limitation: Some conveying methods have high site requirements and are difficult to adapt to complex production layouts.
Faced with problems such as rice breakage, low efficiency, easy contamination, and space limitations during conveying, what equipment should we choose for conveying rice? The following introduces a Rice Z type bucket conveyor.
What is rice Z type bucket conveyor?
Rice Z type bucket conveyor utilizes a food-grade stainless steel hopper and self-lubricating chain system. Its horizontal-vertical-horizontal conveying method and low-speed tipping unloading make it particularly suitable for conveying granular materials that require gentle handling, such as rice. It boasts a vertical lifting height of up to 30 meters and a lifting capacity of up to 100 tons per hour. Compared with traditional elevators, it can reduce the broken rice rate to below 0.5%, greatly improving the quality grade of finished rice.
Special design for rice conveying:
Gentle conveying: The hopper runs at a stable speed, reducing collision and friction between materials, significantly reducing the rice breakage rate, and ensuring product integrity.
Closed conveying: The hopper runs in a closed casing, effectively avoiding dust and impurities pollution, and ensuring the hygiene and safety of rice.
Multi-point feeding and unloading: Multiple feeding ports and unloading ports can be set according to production process requirements to achieve flexible material transportation and distribution.
Space saving: The Z-shaped structure has a compact design and a small footprint, which can adapt well to various complex production sites.
What is the use of rice Z type bucket conveyor?
Rice Z type bucket conveyor has a wide range of application scenarios in the fields of rice processing and grain storage. Here are some common application scenarios:
Rice processing plant: After cleaning, rice is fed to the rice mill, white rice is conveyed to the color sorter, and finished rice is lifted to the packaging line
Rice packaging line: connected to the packaging machine to realize automatic feeding, and multiple unloading ports meet the needs of multiple packaging lines
Rice storage system: lift rice to silo for storage, and load it from the silo to the transport vehicle
Special rice processing: conveying high-end products such as organic rice and germ rice, and anti-sticking conveying of sticky rice such as glutinous rice (optional Teflon coating)
Rice deep processing: conveying rice flour and rice cake raw materials, and lifting and feeding rice for brewing
What are the advantages of rice Z type bucket conveyor?
Z-shaped bucket design: The rice Z type bucket conveyor adopts a special bucket-shaped bucket design. The bucket-shaped bucket has a reasonable volume and shape, which can ensure that rice is not easy to accumulate and jam during the transportation process. This design can effectively improve conveying efficiency and stability.
Zero-crushing design: Adopts inflow feeding and low-speed stable operation (0.18 m/s), fast flipping unloading to avoid collision and damage of rice grains, and the broken rice rate is <0.5%
Sealed and environmentally friendly, in line with food standards: The fully enclosed shell is equipped with a pulse dust removal interface, and the dust concentration is <10mg/m³, which avoids rice pollution and meets FDA food safety standards.
High space utilization: The Z-shaped structure can achieve vertical lifting in a narrow space, saving more than 30% of the floor space, especially suitable for scenes with limited space such as barns and processing workshops.
Intelligent control: Optional frequency conversion speed regulation, linked control with the packaging machine
How does the rice Z type bucket conveyor work?
The working principle of the rice Z type bucket conveyor is relatively simple and efficient. The rice enters the feed hopper through the feed port, and then the bucket-shaped hopper transfers the rice to the chain. The movement of the chain transports the rice to the target location along the set path. During the transportation process, rice is not easy to accumulate and get stuck, ensuring the continuity and stability of transportation.
