Sand Bucket Elevator-DAHAN Vibration Machinery

What is a sand bucket elevator?

Sand bucket elevator is a machine used to vertically transport sand in bulk quantities. It is a type of conveyor system that utilizes a continuous loop of buckets to scoop up sand from the bottom and carry it to the top for discharge.The design of a sand bucket elevator is tailored to handle the abrasive and heavy nature of sand. The buckets are typically reinforced and durable to withstand the harsh conditions of handling sand.

Sand bucket elevators are commonly used in industries such as construction, mining, and manufacturing where the vertical transport of bulk materials like sand is required. These elevators help streamline material handling processes, improve efficiency, and reduce manual labor in moving sand from one location to another.

Application of sand bucket elevator

Bucket elevators are widely used in sand. The following are some common application scenarios of bucket elevators in sand processing:

1. Mines and sand quarries: Sand bucket elevators are used to lift sand from the bottom of sand quarries or mines to the ground or processing equipment.

2. Concrete production: In the concrete production process, sand bucket elevators are usually used to lift sand from storage warehouses or sand fields to concrete mixers or metering equipment.

3. Construction sites: On construction sites, bucket elevators are often used to lift sand from the ground or storage areas to elevated construction equipment or construction areas.

4. Storage and warehousing: Bucket elevators can be used to lift sand from the ground or low-rise storage facilities to high-rise storage facilities to achieve storage and stacking of sand.

Benefits of sand bucket elevator

Efficient vertical transportation

Large quantities of material can be handled and moved to higher levels, saving time and labor compared to manual or alternative vertical transportation methods.

Reduce material loss

The buckets used in sand bucket elevators are designed to scoop up and transport sand efficiently without significant spillage or loss. This helps minimize material waste.

Dust control

Sand bucket elevators can be equipped with features such as bucket covers, dust collection systems or enclosed housings to control dust emissions during transportation.

Save space

Vertical transport using a sand bucket elevator allows efficient use of space, especially in facilities with limited floor space.

Durability and reliability

Constructed from sturdy materials and components to withstand heavy loads and continuous operation for long-term durability and reliability.

Integrate with other devices

Can be easily integrated into existing material handling systems such as conveyor systems, storage bins or processing equipment.

Available options

The following special factors and requirements may be considered in the design of the sand bucket elevator:

Bucket-shaped container design: The bucket-shaped container of a sand bucket elevator usually adopts a special design to adapt to the physical properties of the sand. The shape and size of the bucket can be optimized based on the particle size, density and flowability of the sand to ensure efficient sand capture and discharge.

Dust prevention measures: Since sand may produce dust during transportation, sand bucket elevators usually take corresponding dust prevention measures. For example, set up closing devices, dust collectors or spray systems near the inlet and outlet to reduce the spread of dust into the environment.

Wear-resistant material selection: Considering the abrasive nature of sand, wear-resistant materials are usually selected for key components of sand bucket elevators to extend the service life of the equipment. For example, bucket-shaped containers, conveyor belts, chains and other components may be made of highly wear-resistant materials or surface treated.

Conveying speed adjustment: According to the characteristics of sand and process requirements, sand bucket elevators usually have the function of conveying speed adjustment. By adjusting the transmission system or frequency converter control, precise control of the conveying speed can be achieved to adapt to different process and output requirements.
