Bucket Elevator

The bucket elevator is a kind of economic vertical lifting equipment. It can continuously transport bulk materials to a high distance with a wide range of uses, long service life, large capacity operation, customizability, small footprint, and other advantages. Bucket elevator is a conveying system of high commonality, widely used in mining, metallurgy, cement, grain, chemical, electric power, and other industries.

With more than 25 years of experience in its design and manufacture, ICF can provide belt and chain bucket elevators, and we can do professional design and customer service according to the customer’s requirements.

With traction belt as traction components, Bucket elevator continuously upward convey materials, through the hopper fixed on the belt which adopted fabric or wire rope core rubber belt. When transporting materials, a closed structure is adopted, so that no dust will be generated. As a result, that it can be lifted to a high height, especially suitable for continuous vertical transportation of granular, powdery, and small abrasive materials.

Features & advantages:

  • Sectional friction linings of the drive pulley may be effortlessly exchanged without dismounting the belt.
  • The wing pulley was mounted within the tail section to forestall the materials from scattering on the pulley to reduce the friction between belt and pulley.
  • Traction components adopt a specialized rubber belt of the bucket elevator, which is of high tensile strength, good flexibility, and long service life.
  • A gravity tension device is adopted in the tail part of the bucket elevator to realize the automatic tension of the belt. As long as the adjustment is in place, the constant tension can be maintained to effectively avoid the belt slipping.
  • Both ends of the belt are clamped into the aluminum cast composite box (clamp connection), thus securing the belt connection.
  • The buckets are mounted on the belt with a specially designed flat head screw, and rubber strips are put in between the buckets and also the belt.
