Elevator Belt And Buckets
|
|
A typical bucket elevator consists of a series of buckets mounted on an endless looped chain or belt moving materials straight up at 90 degrees. This traditional method of conveying is one of the most economical, efficient and dependable means of elevating loose bulk materials. The initial cost is low, maintenance is minimal and a long life can be expected.

“Centrifugal” discharge bucket elevators are designed to handle fine, free flowing type materials which can be dug from the elevator boot. Small lumps can be handled, providing the proper bucket size is used. Buckets on chain or belt, travel at speeds high enough to discharge materials by centrifugal force as they pass around the head terminal.
Low-speed centrifugal discharge elevators
High-speed centrifugal discharge elevators, including Agricultural and Cement series.

Agri Series elevators, designed for low density, free-flowing materials such as grains, seeds, processed feed materials and pellets.
These are the fastest-operating elevators, and may extend several hundred feet in elevation.
|
|
Cement or Mill Series elevators handle heavy, powdery, free-flowing materials such as cement and minerals.

“Continuous” discharge bucket elevators are used to handle sluggish, aerated materials having a lumpy texture. Continuously spaced buckets, traveling at slower speeds than the centrifugal type, are designed so that the fronts and extended sides from a chute as they pass around the head terminal. Gravity causes the material to gently flow out of the buckets and down the chute formed by the preceeding buckets in the discharge spout.
Bucket elevators requiring special paints, finishes, AR plate liners, lined inlet and discharge chutes can be provided for adverse, severe duty surrounding environmental conditions.
