Exactly, what are Bucket Elevators ?

 

Nowadays, as the world is getting modernised and mechanical, the use of machines have increased. Bucket Elevator is one of the most popular machine, used to transfer materials vertically.

A Bucket Elevator or a grain leg, is a machine, that consists of buckets, which are attached on to a specific type of belt or chain to carry the buckets or may say specific load and transmit the pull machine to drive the belt and accessories, vertically.

Uses of Bucket Elevators

It is mainly used in oil mills,rice industries,grain industries,coal handling,cement industries etc. It is very important accessory of any industries, as it can convey light to heavy materials with ease, without any interruption.The Bucket Elevators,are serving well and getting popular due to simplicity of bucket elevator systems. They are one of the popular choice for handling bulk materials and in processing applications.

Design of Bucket Elevators

Design of bucket elevators depends of types of materials convey,materials transfer capacity and operating specifications.as per design requirements we select sizes of buckets, head and boot profiles, motor and gear box.

Types of Bucket Elevators

Centrifugal Discharge Elevator

Many types of bucket elevators are used as per requirement, The most common elevator is Centrifugal Discharge Elevator, which may be vertical or inclined.The vertical elevators is driven by centrifugal force, which, put the oil into the discharge chute and help run at a relatively high speed.On Inclined elevators, the buckets are bolted on belt or chain at perticular pitch , having the discharge chute set partly under the head pulley.inclined elevator speed is low because it doesn’t depend on the centrifugal force.On Centrifugal Elevator, the material loaded from a boot, a pit or a pile.buckets bolted on to the belt, with little or no space in between them, are being used to carry heavy material, lifting at a slow pace.Earlier steel buckets are used,now new plastic bucket with rubber belts, due to convenience and ease to use it.Further, the pulleys are being used at the top and bottom and driven by an electric power.
Various types of chains or belts as traction element, different bucket of different shapes and sizes are applied to make the bulk material handling possible and easy.

Continuous Bucket Elevator

The Continuous Bucket Elevator can be conveyed horizontal-vertical-horizontal, smoothly and continuously from one or multiple feed point(s) and then move horizontally to the discharge point. continuous Bucket Elevators are designed to handle products without material deterioration move undisturbed until it is discharged.

  Every manufacturing company tries to use one option or the other to increase their productivity and at the same time stay in this world of competition. All the companies in the market comes down to either lowering costs for raw materials or labor utilized to produce a product. It also goes to the extent to increase the workflow, where it takes the total time to manufacture a product. This workflow time must also consider the material flow from goods inwards to dispatch. Belt Conveyors manufacturer in India Belt Conveyors can make a significant difference increasing productivity at a low level of investment. It is prominent in many cases that the staff constantly run back and forth to retrieve certain goods losing time and energy, here implementation of Belt Conveyor can be more effectively utilized thus increasing productivity. If, Belt Conveyor is strategically placed, it can have a huge impact on the workflow efficiency and most likely it will lead to lowering inve

Pet Coke Handling with the Help of Bucket Elevator System

Image
  Petcoke handling bucket elevator manufacturers   P et coke, gets its name from petroleum and coal. It is a residual product of the crude oil or may say leftover of refineries/distilleries. It is a zed black solid with high calorific value, but low volatile content, which leads to poor ignition. Nowadays  Pet coke  is replacing fuel, it is acting as a supplementary fuel in various industries.  Cement Industries in many countries including India and Power plants indulged in Power Generation, Boilers, etc., use Pet coke. Apart, having high calorific value, it is being a waste product, having a much lower price, as compared to coal. Its use present, certain problems, due to high sulfur and low volatility. To obtain full advantage of its calorific value, Pet coke has to be finely grounded, so that it burns completely. High sulfur content, creates operation problems in the kiln. This problem can normally be sorted out by using a bypass system. To utilize pet coke with a higher percentage o
