Z-type bucket elevator for conveying puffed food

Z-type bucket elevator for conveying puffed food is a continuous conveying equipment specially used for puffed food production lines. It lifts the material from low to high through the hopper through the Z-shaped conveying path, and realizes the horizontal-vertical-horizontal path change during the conveying process, lifting the puffed food from low to high. It is widely used in the transportation of light materials such as puffed food, snacks, and grains.

What is the working principle of Z-type bucket elevator for conveying puffed food?

Z-type bucket elevator for conveying puffed food is mainly composed of a shell, a traction part (conveyor chain), a hopper, a driving wheel, a redirecting wheel, a tensioning device, a guide device, a feeding port, and a discharge port.

① After starting, the hopper scoops the material from the storage bin, lifts it to the top with the conveyor chain, and flips over after bypassing the top wheel to pour the material into the receiving tank.

② By changing the position of the discharge, multi-point discharge can be achieved.

What are the advantages of the Z-type bucket elevator for conveying puffed food?

1. Gentle conveying and reduced breakage: The hopper of Z-type bucket elevator for conveying puffed food adopts overlapping or dense design. The material is always in the hopper during the conveying process, avoiding possible extrusion or falling in the traditional conveying method.

2. Adapt to resin particles of different particle sizes: Z-type bucket elevator for conveying puffed food can adopt different suction and conveying methods according to the resin particles of different particle sizes, such as pneumatic conveying, vacuum conveying, etc., to ensure the effective treatment of different particles

3. Dealing with cross-contamination problems: When producing puffed foods with multiple flavors, the conveying equipment is prone to residues from the previous batch of materials, resulting in mixed flavors or cross-contamination. Z-type bucket elevator for conveying puffed food is equipped with a quick-release design, which can quickly replace or clean the hopper to reduce the risk of cross-contamination.

4. The problem of production flexibility and automation integration: Z-type bucket elevator for conveying puffed food supports single-point or multi-point unloading, can flexibly switch production lines, and can be used in conjunction with automatic weighing machines, packaging machines, and filling machines to achieve intelligent conveying.

Structure of Z-type bucket elevator for conveying puffed food

Hopper: a container for puffed food, usually made of food-grade plastic or stainless steel.

Conveyor belt or chain: used to connect and drive the hopper, usually made of food-grade materials.

Drive device: includes motor, reducer and transmission device to provide power.

Casing: closed structure to prevent material spillage and dust pollution.

Feed port and discharge port: located at the bottom and top of the equipment respectively, used for material input and output.
