Bucket hoist is a kind of continuous conveying machinery which uses a series of hoppers which are uniformly fixed on the endless traction components to lift materials vertically The following is a detailed introduction to bucket elevator:

Type and structure

Bucket hoists are mainly divided into the following types:

TD/D bucket hoist: It consists of running part (hopper and traction belt), upper section with transmission drum, lower section with tension drum, middle casing driving device, reverse braking device, etc.

TH/HL chain bucket hoist: Its hopper is discontinuous arrangement, which is loaded by "digging method" and unloaded by "centrifugal feeding method" The traction mechanism is two annular chains

Type NE plate chain bucket hoist: The specific structure is not detailed in the reference article provided, but the material is generally lifted by pulling the hopper with chain or belt
Working principle

The working principle of bucket elevator is: The hopper scoops up the material from the storage below, and lifts it to the top with the conveyor belt or chain, bypasses the top wheel and turns down to pour the material into the receiving tank

Scope of application of materials

Bucket elevator is suitable for vertically conveying powdery, granular and small bulk materials with small abrasiveness, such as grain, pulverized coal and crushed ore Its lifting height can reach 40 meters TD Bucket Elevator is equipped with four kinds of hoppers, which are suitable for materials with different characteristics

Application scenario

Bucket hoists are widely used in the following industries:

Coal industry: Used for conveying coal, ore and other materials

Grain processing industry: used for unloading, stacking and transportation of grain

Chemical industry: Used for conveying powdery and granular raw materials, semi-finished products and finished products

Construction industry: used to lift concrete mortar and other materials from the ground to high altitude

Environmental protection industry: used for the treatment of waste and other materials

Advantages and disadvantages

Advantages: Simple structure, small transverse size and small occupied area

Large lifting height, good conveying capacity, totally enclosed fuselage and little pollution

Low power consumption

Disadvantages: High installation cost

It is only suitable for conveying powder granular and small and medium-sized bulk cargo, and cannot handle fiber material types

Type selection and parameters

The selection of bucket elevator is mainly based on the scope of use, advantages and conveying capacity For example, the single conveying capacity of TD bucket elevator can reach 5.4/6.6 (m/h), but the conveying capacity will be different among different models

To sum up, bucket elevator is a kind of material conveying equipment widely used in various industries. It has various types, simple structure and strong conveying capacity, and is suitable for various materials and scenes In order to ensure the normal operation and efficient use of the equipment, reasonable selection should be carried out according to the actual demand when selecting and using the equipment
