BUCKET ELEVATOR

The material of construction may be Mild Steel or Stainless steel depending on the requirement.

Belt Bucket Elevators - Centrifugal Discharge:

This type of an elevator is mostly used for bulk materials, which are free flowing, fine, or small lump material, such as grain, coal, sand, clay, sugar, cullet and dry chemicals. Buckets are mounted at intervals on a belt or chain. They usually operate vertically but have the capability to be designed to be inclined according to the requirement. Buckets are filled with material by a combination of direct material loading into buckets and by scooping from the boot, which is the lowest part of the elevator. Speed is comparatively higher and is basically controlled by the head sprocket or drum diameter and its relation to centrifugal discharge action. The course of the centrifugal action causes the material to eject from the bucket containers at the discharge end.

Vertical Bucket Elevators - Centrifugal / Positive Discharge :

These are similar to the centrifugal discharge type, except that buckets are snubbed back under head sprockets to gain a more complete discharge at a slower chain speed. The elevators can handle light aerated, dusty and sticky materials that are not easily dischargeable from a centrifugal discharge elevator. The buckets are mounted at intervals on two strands of chain. Providing a capacity equal to the centrifugal discharge type requires larger buckets or closer spacing of buckets on the chain. This is a forced type of discharge and is thus more effective in transferring maximum of the carried material over to the destination.

Flight Elevator

Ideal equipment for conveying fruits, vegetables and large pieces over an inclination upto 50 degrees. Elegant and robust design. The equipment consists of 2 strands of chain and folded sheet metal slats. Totally enclosed models with top and bottom covers are also available. Material of construction can be stainless steel/ mild steel.
