Plastic Particles Bucket Elevator-DAHAN Vibration Machinery

What is a plastic particles bucket elevator?

Plastic particles bucket elevator is a type of vertical conveyor system specifically designed for transporting plastic particles or pellets vertically. They are commonly used in various industries such as plastic manufacturing, recycling and packaging.

The design of a plastic particles bucket elevator takes into consideration the characteristics of plastic particles, such as their size, shape, and flowability. The buckets are typically made of durable materials, such as reinforced plastics or metals, to withstand the abrasion and impact of handling the particles.

How Does a Plastic Particles Bucket Elevator Work?

Plastic particles bucket elevator uses a motor to drive the bucket lifting bucket to rise or fall along the guide rail. The bucket lifting bucket loads the plastic particles into the bucket during the movement. As the lifting bucket moves, the plastic particles are transported to the upper part. When the lifting bucket reaches the top, the plastic particles in the bucket are dumped to the discharge port to achieve vertical transportation. The lifting bucket drops to the bottom again, and the conveying process is cycled.

What is the Purpose of Plastic Particles Bucket Elevator?

Plastic particles bucket elevators or bucket elevators adapted to handle plastic particles can find application in a variety of industries involving the handling, processing or transportation of plastic particles or particles. Some common applications include:

Plastic Manufacturing: Used to feed plastic particles to extruders, mixers or molding machines, and to convey finished or intermediate plastic products.

Packaging and bagging: Elevating plastic particles to higher heights for gravity-based filling or feeding into packaging machines. It facilitates consistent and controlled material flow during packaging.

Plastic mixing: It can be used to transport plastic granules to compound equipment such as mixers, extruders or granulators to ensure a continuous and efficient production process.

Plastic pellet production

Plastic pellet production

A plastic pellet production plant needs to transport plastic pellets from the production line to the silo. They chose a plastic pellet bucket elevator because of its ability to move large quantities of material in an efficient and safe manner.

Benefits of plastic particles bucket elevator

Efficient and Reliable Material Handling

Provide efficient vertical or inclined transportation of plastic particles to ensure smooth and continuous flow of materials. It transfers plastic pellets between different process stages or storage areas without manual handling or additional conveying equipment.

Minimal Dust Generation and Product Contamination

The enclosed construction keeps dust contained, reducing the risk of explosions and improving workplace air quality.This also minimizes product contamination, ensuring the purity of the plastic particles.

Gentle Handling of Plastic Particles

The buckets scoop and lift the material, preventing crushing or degradation that can occur with other conveying methods like screw conveyors.This is especially important for fragile or heat-sensitive plastic particles.

Easy to Clean and Maintain

The simple design allows for easy access to the interior of the elevator for cleaning and maintenance.This helps to minimize downtime and ensure optimal performance.

Configurable for Horizontal or Inclined Conveying

Bucket elevators can be designed for both vertical lifting and horizontal conveying of plastic particles.This versatility allows for integration into various production line layouts.

Space optimization

They require less floor space than other horizontal conveying methods. This is especially beneficial for facilities with limited space available, making efficient use of the available vertical space.

What are plastic particles bucket elevators made of?

Plastic particles bucket elevators usually consist of motors, lifting barrels, guide rails, support frames and discharge ports. The motor drives the lifting bucket to rise or fall along the guide rail. The lifting bucket is equipped with a bucket for loading and transporting plastic particles. Guide rails support the movement of the lifting bucket to ensure stability. The support frame is used to support the entire equipment structure. The discharge port is located at the top and is used to release the plastic particles delivered to the top.

How to choose plastic particles bucket elevator?

Plastic particle bucket elevators are available in a variety of sizes and configurations to meet the specific needs of each application. Some important factors to consider when selecting a bucket elevator include:

1.Capacity: The required throughput of plastic particles per hour.

Elevation: The vertical distance that the particles need to be lifted.

2.Material characteristics: The size, shape, and density of the plastic particles.

3.Bucket material: This should be compatible with the plastic particles being handled and can be made of carbon steel, stainless steel, or food-grade plastic.
