NE bucket elevator is researched and developed by introducing advanced technologies at home and abroad. The chain stone bucket elevator is a general equipment to lift materials, so it apply to transport materials such as powder, pellet, particulate even with more surface friction. The highest temperature of materials is up to 200°C, and the lifting height can reach up to 60m.

2. Features

(1) Wide range of ascension. This kind of elevator has fewer requirements for material’s kind, specialty and shape size. Not only can lift the general powder, small granule materials, but also can promote the larger grinding cut materials. Material temperature should lower than 250 °C.

(2) Big carrying ability. Lifting capacity is 15m³/h-800 m³/h.

(3) Low energy consumption. The energy it consumes is 25%-45% of chain elevator.

(4) Long service life. The transmission chain service life is more than 5 years.

(5) High hoisting height. It has low operation speed, stable in operating. Also it applies high plate chain with strength wear-resisting, so it can achieve high hoisting height.

(6) Good sealing, little environmental pollution.

(7) Good operating reliability. Advanced design principle and processing method, ensure the reliability of the machine running.

(8) Easy operation and maintenance, less easily damaged parts.

3.Working Principle of Bucket Elevators:
A centrifugal discharge elevator may be vertical or inclined. Vertical elevators depend entirely on the action of centrifugal force to get the material into the discharge chute and must be run at speeds relatively high. Inclined elevators with buckets spaced apart or set close together may have the discharge chute set partly under the head pulley. Since they don't depend entirely on the centrifugal force to put the material into the chute, the speed may be relatively lower.

Nearly all centrifugal discharge elevators have spaced buckets with rounded bottoms. They pick up their load from a boot, a pit, or a pile of material at the foot pulley.

The buckets can be also triangular in cross section and set close to on the belt with little or no clearance between them. This is a continuous bucket elevator. Its main use is to carry difficult materials at slow speed.

Early bucket elevators used a flat chain with small, steel buckets attached every few inches. Current construction uses a rubber belt with plastic buckets. Pulleys several feet in diameter are used at the top and bottom. The top pulley is driven by an electric motor.

The bucket elevator is the enabling technology that permitted the construction of grain elevators. A diverter at the top of the elevator allows the grain to be sent to the chosen bin.
