Bucket elevator is suitable for lifting from low to high. After the supplied materials are put into the hopper through the vibration table, the machine automatically and continuously operates and transports them upward. The conveying speed can be adjusted according to the conveying amount, and the lifting height can be selected as needed. The hopper is self-designed and manufactured. The PP non-toxic hopper makes this type of bucket elevator more widely used. All dimensions are designed and manufactured according to actual needs. It is designed for supporting vertical packaging machines and computer metering machines, and is suitable for lifting and loading of food, medicine, chemical industrial products, screws, nuts, and other products, Automatic stop and start of the packaging machine can be controlled through signal recognition.

Working Principle Editing

The hopper scoops up the material from the storage below, lifts it to the top with the conveyor belt or chain, bypasses the top wheel, and then turns it down. The bucket elevator tilts the material into the receiving tank. The transmission belt of belt driven bucket elevator generally adopts rubber belt, which is installed on the lower or upper transmission drum and the upper and lower diversion drum. Bucket elevators with chain drive are generally equipped with two parallel transmission chains, with a pair of transmission sprockets on or below, and a pair of reversing sprockets on or above. Bucket elevators are generally equipped with a casing to prevent dust from flying in the bucket elevator.

Bucket elevator: suitable for lifting from low to high. After the supplied materials are fed into the hopper through the vibration table, the machine automatically and continuously operates and transports them upward.

The bucket elevator consists of a hopper, a drive device, top and bottom rollers (or sprockets), adhesive tape (or traction chains), a tensioning device, and a casing.

Traction member

(1) Rubber tape:

The belt is fastened to the belt mouth with screws and elastic gaskets, and the belt is 35 to 40 mm wider than the bucket. Generally, the belt conveys materials with a temperature not exceeding 60 ℃, while the heat resistant belt can convey materials up to 150 ℃.

(2) Chain:

A single chain is fixedly connected to the rear wall of the hopper; The double chain is connected to both sides of the hopper. The chain elevator adopts a single chain when the hopper width is 160~250mm, and a double chain when the hopper width is 320~630mm. The main disadvantage is that the wear between the chain links is large, increasing the number of maintenance times.

(3) Sprocket:

Drive sprocket on bucket elevator. Sprockets are solid or spoke gears that engage with accurately spaced blocks on a chain link or cable to transmit motion.

Design of sprocket tooth shape: The sprocket tooth shape must ensure that the chain can enter and exit the engagement smoothly and smoothly, minimize the impact and contact stress of the chain link during engagement, and be easy to process. The sprocket material should ensure that the teeth have sufficient strength and wear resistance, so the sprocket tooth surface is generally subjected to heat treatment to achieve a certain hardness.
