What is the difference between belt bucket elevator and chain bucket elevator?

Both the belt bucket elevator and the chain bucket elevator are a kind of elevator, and both can lift materials from a low place to a high place. However, there is a big difference between the two in structure and working principle.

Here's a table summarizing the key differences:

First of all, the belt bucket elevator hangs the bucket on it through two hooped belts, and the bucket moves along the circulation route through the operation of the belt to complete the lifting task of materials. The chain bucket elevator uses a chain to connect each bucket to realize the movement of the bucket.

Secondly, the movement mode of the belt bucket elevator is relatively smooth, so it is suitable for transporting relatively dry, loose and difficult-to-accumulate materials, such as coal, ore, carbon powder, grain, etc. The chain structure of the chain bucket elevator is stronger than the belt, and it is more stable during movement. It is more suitable for transporting materials that are relatively wet, semi-solid or easy to agglomerate, such as lime, cement, phosphate, etc.
