Z Type Bucket Elevator

A z-type bucket elevator is a kind of mechanical equipment used for conveying powdery, granular and small piece materials, its main feature is to drive the hopper through the chain for the horizontal-vertical-horizontal combination of conveying. The lifting hopper has many advantages, such as flexible composition, low damage rate to materials, and can eliminate unnecessary material loss. It is suitable for all kinds of powder, granular and small pieces of non-abrasive or less abrasive materials, widely used in chemical industry, plastics, grain, pet food and other fields.

Z-type bucket elevator also has a multi-point discharge function, which can be single-point or multi-point feeding, through the unloading device to achieve single-point or multi-point discharging. Its structure design is reasonable, simple and efficient, and can meet the diversified needs of different customers.

Bucket Elevator Working Principle

The hopper scoops up the material from the storage below, lifts it to the top with the chain, turns it downwards around the upper wheel, and completes single-point or multi-point discharging through the unloading device. This design not only prevents dust leakage, but also ensures the integrity and safety of the material during conveying.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What are the main types of bucket elevators?

A: There are primarily three types of bucket elevators: centrifugal discharge, continuous discharge, and positive discharge elevators, each designed for specific material handling needs.

Q2: What factors should be considered when selecting a bucket elevator?

A: Key factors include the type and characteristics of the material to be handled, desired capacity, lifting height, and environmental conditions. Safety features and maintenance access should also be considered.

Q3: How do I calculate the capacity of a bucket elevator?

A:The capacity of a bucket elevator can be calculated based on the bucket size, speed of the belt or chain, and the material bulk density.
