Advantages and Limitations of Z Type Bucket Elevator

Z type bucket elevator is referred to as the Z-type elevator. This article will analyze the advantages and disadvantages of Z type bucket elevator for you.

Advantages of Z type bucket elevator

1. Low crushing rate and good material integrity

Z type bucket elevator adopts inflow feeding method, non-traditional excavation feeding method, and the material crushing rate in the whole process is low. It is suitable for vertical lifting of various fragile or non-fragile materials, such as melon seeds, peanuts, nuts, For rice, corn, potato chips, etc., the lifting height can reach 100 meters, and the conveying capacity is 3~100 cubic meters per hour.

2. Flexible layout and small footprint

Z type bucket elevator has the characteristics of horizontal and vertical conveying. There is a feed port at the lower end and a discharge port at the upper end. The feeding port is generally equipped with a feeding device, such as an electromagnetic vibrating feeder, which can be used for the feeder of the weighing packaging machine, the feeder of the color sorter, and the multi-point feeding of the automatic weighing and batching system. Z-type bucket elevator equipment can meet the feeding needs of multiple silos and save the cost of customer equipment procurement.

3. Sealing system

Z-type bucket elevator adopts closed casing design, negative pressure cycle loading and unloading, avoid dust flying during equipment operation and avoid environmental pollution.

Limitations of Z type bucket elevator

Z type bucket elevator is suitable for conveying a variety of bulk materials, powdery and granular materials, but the lifting effect is not very good for lifting bulk materials or fine powdered materials.

Each equipment has its limitations, and its value can only be realized according to the material conveyed, the increase of the output, the height of the lifting and the planning of the site.

The Z type bucket elevator is a highly versatile conveying machinery that can be modified and customized according to the different needs of users:

Explosion-proof bucket elevator: suitable for transporting flammable and explosive dangerous materials.

Food grade bucket elevator: suitable for transporting food, medicine and other materials with high hygiene requirements.

Corrosion-resistant bucket elevator: suitable for transporting highly corrosive materials.
