Use And Characteristics of Chain Bucket Elevator

Ring chain bucket elevators are designed for vertical conveying of large volumes of bulk materials and are widely used in various industries such as glass, cement, biomass, power generation and more. This article will introduce you to the function of the chain bucket elevator.

Use of chain bucket elevator

The ring chain bucket elevator adopts ring chain traction, which is firmly connected with the hopper, and the chain wear is small. It is suitable for conveying highly abrasive materials, such as grain, coal, cement, crushed ore, etc. It can also lift high temperature products below 250°C to a maximum height of 40m.

Features of chain bucket elevator

1. The traction parts are low-alloy high-strength circular chains. After proper heat treatment, they have high tensile strength and wear resistance and long service life.

2. It can lift materials vertically and can handle a large amount of materials. The special design of the bucket ensures high stability and reduces the risk of spillage.

3. The middle casing is divided into single and double channels. The double channel is mainly to strengthen the strength of the middle section of the whole machine. The general single channel bucket elevator is that the uplink and downlink of the hopper are all in one casing channel. Under the same conditions, the lifting capacity of the double-channel chain bucket elevator is about 30% higher than that of the single-channel vertical elevator.

4. Adopt assembled sprocket. The wheel body and rim are connected by high-strength bolts. After the sprocket is worn to a certain extent, the bolt can be unscrewed, and the rim can be removed, which is convenient for replacement, saves materials in disassembly and assembly, and reduces maintenance costs.

Ring chain bucket elevator site

TH ring chain bucket elevator has Zh (with medium-deep bucket), suitable for lifting wet, viscous, hard-to-throw materials, such as wet sand, sand, fertilizer, alkali powder and clay, etc. Sh (with deep bucket) is suitable for conveying dry, loose and easy-to-throw materials, such as sand, coal, cement raw meal, slag and cement, etc.
