How Much do You Know the Reasons of Buckets Falling of Bucket Elevator?

1.Too much feeding. It will cause material blocking in the machine, and increase elevator resistance. Feeding too much is the main reason of buckets’ falling. Stop the machine immediately in the situation, and take out spile under frame. Discharge material in engine base, replace new buckets, and then start to production. Meanwhile, decrease feeding volume uniformly.

2.The position of inlet is too low. In general, bucket serve materials from inlet automatically when bucket elevator is in operation. If the position of inlet is too low, buckets may have no time to serve materials and then most materials into engine base. However, materials are lump, which is easy to cause the deformation and falling. Inlet position should be above the center line of return pulley.

3.Bad material of bucket with limited strength. Buckets are the bearing parts of bucket elevator, and have high requirements on buckets materials. Select material with high strength when install. In general, buckets are welded or pressed by common steel plate or galvanized plates, and edges should be folded or involved in galvanized wire to enhance the strength of buckets.

4.Haven’t discharging materials in engine base when starting up. There is always down phenomenon caused by power failure or other reason in operation. And when re-start, buckets are easy falling as too much impact if no discharging materials in engine base. Therefore, must discharge materials in engine base to avoid buckets falling. In addition, check the connection of buckets and belt regular. If screw is loose or falling, or buckets are damaged, check and replace in time to avoid more accidents.

Plate Chain Bucket Elevator You should know

TB Plate Chain Gravel Bucket Elevator has an opening bin below for storing material, when the motor driving the endless chain (chain or belt) through the chute, the hopper fixed in the chain of plate (chain or belt) bring the material to the discharging opening, in this way it continuously convey the material.

     It adopts plate sleeve roller chain as the traction components , gravity type discharge material. Apply to middle, big block etc grinding material, which density is less than 2t/m3. Material temperature is less than 250℃ , capacity can reach 395m3/h , lifting height is approx. 5~50m . Vertical bucket elevator are highly resistant to wear and can be placed indoor as well as outdoor.

Working principle 
Hopper scoops up materials from the stone bucket below, then is lifted to the top with the conveyor belt or chain, and next it is downward rolled over bypass the wheel on the top and the materials are dumped into the accept slot now by bucket chain or hoist conveyor, and the whole process is over. The driving band of bucket elevator with driver is commonly made of rubber, and it is installed below or above the drive roller and the divert roller. The chain-drive bucket elevator is generally equipped with two parallel transmission chain, on which above or below is a drive sprocket and a divert sprocket. Continuous Chain or Belt Bucket Elevator for Cement are generally equipped with chassis to prevent the dust flying into the bucket elevator.

Features 
    1,Application widely, not only lifting the common powder, granular and block material, but also lifting the high grinding material;
    2,Low driving power, low energy consumption, energy conservation;
    3,For lifting same material, energy consumption is 1/3~1/2 compared with the link chain bucket elevator;
    4,The whole machine with full sealed design, no dust pollution while running;
    5,The machine housing case adopt embossing structure, better stiffness, high precision, good-looking appearance;

Advantage     
    1.Bucket elevator machine applys to powder, granular, lump material, the density is less than 1.5t/m3
    2.Material temperature is less than 60 ℃, if adopt heat-resistance rubber belt, the material temperature is less than 200 ℃
    3.Driven device configuration could save much space, light weight, with backstop, low noise, running steady.
    4.4 kinds bucket type could meet different particle sizes material.
    5.Customized lifting height.

The introduction of plate chain bucket elevator

 Plate chain bucket elevator is the most widely application vertically lifting equipment.It can apply to convey medium,large and abrasive material,such as limestone,cement clinker,lump coal,etc..And the temperature of material should be no more than 250℃.

Features:

1.Large transport capacity:The lifting capacity is 100-1000m3/h;

2.Small drive power:It uses flow-through to feed material and inducement type to discharge material.And high-capacity hopper lays out densely.Therefore,there is little phenomenon of feeding material back or digging material.And then it can save 30% power than ring chain bucket elevator；

3.Long service life:There is little phenomenon of extrusion between materials through flow type feeding.So it can reduce the situation of machine wear.Plate chain bucket elevator adopts high strength wear resistant conveyor chain so that it can prolong the service life of link chain and hopper；

4.Wide application:It not only can lift powder and granule material, but also abrasive material and material which temperature is no more than 250℃；

5.High reliability:It adopts advanced design principle and manufacturing method so that can ensure the reliability of the whole machine；

6.Good sealing:Lower pollution to environment；

7.Low comprehensive cost:Its use-cost is low because it has less power consumption and less maintenance.
