How to Solve the Insufficient Lifting Capacity Problem of Bucket Elevator

How to Solve the Insufficient Lifting Capacity Problem of Bucket Elevator

Bucket elevator offers a good help for conveying material in the factory, however, many users may doubt that why the actual work efficiency is not as good as they expected, such as insufficient lifting capacity problem, here PK Machinery will introduce some methods to increase the bucket elevator capacity in following six aspects: 

1.increase the elevator speed, change the driving wheel transmission ratio
2.increase the downstream equipment capacity of bucket elevator
3. make sure the buckets are full of material.

 

4. clean the sticky materials on the buckets and wheels regularly
5. fix and correct the chute of discharging outlet
6. avoid material inside the buckets return back

Solving the lifting capacity problem of bucket elevator effectively can not only solve the conveying efficiency for the users, but also can meet the production requirements, in our daily life of operation, please pay attention to this problem !

Discharging Ways of Bucket Elevators

Discharging Ways of Bucket Elevators

PK Machinery mainly offers bucket elevators with belt type,ring chain type and plate chain type which is mainly suitable for feed mills, flour mills, rice mills, oil, starch factory, grain depot, port terminals and other bulk materials conveying industry.

 

According to different discharging ways, bucket elevators also can be divided into: centrifugal type bucket elevator, gravity type bucket elevator and hybrid type bucket elevator. The introduction is described as follows:

1. Centrifugal type: it is using centrifugal force to throw the material away from discharging outlet which is applicable to the material that is dry with fast lifting speed and small particle.

2. Gravity type: under the effect of gravity, the material will discharge along the bucket back , it is suitable for material which is large and fragile.

3. Hybrid type: centrifugal force and gravity force , which is suitable for material with poor fluidity and big humidity .

How to Select the Suitable Belt for TD Belt Bucket Elevators

How to Select the Suitable Belt for TD Belt Bucket Elevators

Different bucket elevators should match different belts as their traction.This article mainly introduces the suitable belt for TD bucket elevator.

TD belt bucket elevator uses belt as its traction, there are pitches between buckets, normally ,the buckets will be fixed with belt by bolts. General used belts include: ordinary rubber belt, nylon rubber belt and steel cord rubber belt. Here PK Machinery will introduce how to select the suitable rubber belt :

Ordinary rubber belt adopts cotton as its core, then molded after being coated with rubber vulcanization,. Usually, the ordinary rubber belt is used for bucket elevator with small lifting height.

Nylon rubber belt adopts nylon canvas as its core,then molded after coated with rubber vulcanization, it is usually used for TD belt bucket elevator with the height that is relatively big.

Steel cord rubber belt is made of steel rope as its core and molded after being coated with rubber vulcanization. The strength of steel cord rubber belt can meet the requirement of high rise and large capacity development . In recent years, the demand of hundred meters’ lifting height and high efficiency bucket elevator is increasing day by day, the steel cord rubber belt bucket elevator would be a good choice.
