Sand Bucket Elevator
What are the types of Sand Bucket Elevator?
Sand Bucket Elevator can be divided into several types according to its structural characteristics, unloading methods and traction components:Belt bucket elevator: It uses rubber belt or wire rope core belt as traction component, and the bucket is fixed to the conveyor belt by bolts.
Advantages: Smooth operation, low noise, suitable for high-speed operation, less damage to materials, especially suitable for conveying light and less abrasive materials, such as grain, feed, light mineral powder, fine sand, etc.
Chain bucket elevator: uses chain (single or double chain) as the traction member, and the bucket is fixed to the chain by bolts.
Advantages: large load-bearing capacity, wear resistance, can work at higher temperatures, suitable for conveying heavy, abrasive, and large block materials, such as ore, coal, cement clinker, limestone, coarse sand, etc.
Deep bucket: large volume, suitable for conveying dry, fluid bulk materials.
Shallow bucket: suitable for conveying wet, sticky or difficult to throw materials.
V-shaped bucket: special shape, which helps to scoop and unload materials.
Special material bucket: according to the characteristics of the material, the bucket material can be carbon steel, stainless steel, wear-resistant steel, nylon, polyethylene.

What are the advantages of Sand Bucket Elevator?
With its advantages in space utilization, material adaptability and operation stability, Sand Bucket Elevator has become a very practical and common equipment in the field of vertical transportation of bulk materials. It has the following significant advantages:Vertical transportation capacity: Sand Bucket Elevator saves a lot of floor space and can lift materials vertically to a higher height. Realize continuous and stable material transportation to ensure smooth connection of production processes.
Excellent environment and material protection: The equipment adopts a fully enclosed design to effectively prevent dust flying and material spilling, improve the working environment and reduce material loss. At the same time, it can isolate external pollution to ensure the purity and quality of materials.
Strong material adaptability: Sand Bucket Elevator can transport a variety of granular, powdered and small block bulk materials, and optimize the transportation effect by selecting different types. Certain types (such as gravity type) have less damage to fragile materials and help maintain material integrity.
Easy to operate and maintain: The structure of the equipment is relatively simple, the operation reliability is high, and it can operate stably for a long time with proper maintenance. It is also easy to realize automatic control, reduce manual intervention, and reduce labor intensity.
What are the applications of Sand Bucket Elevator?
Sand Bucket Elevator, as a vertical conveying equipment, is used in a variety of material handling and process connection scenarios. Sand Bucket Elevator is mainly used in the following scenarios to realize vertical conveying and high-level unloading of bulk materials:Feeding from low to high: When materials need to be lifted from the ground, underground silos or lower production equipment to higher storage facilities (such as silos, silos) or subsequent processing equipment (such as mixers, packaging machines), Sand Bucket Elevator is a tool to achieve this vertical transfer.
Material collection and centralized transportation: In some scenarios where materials need to be uniformly lifted after being collected from multiple low points, Sand Bucket Elevator can collect materials from different feed ports and lift them to the designated high-level unloading point.
In and out of buffer and storage systems: In the feeding or discharging links of large bulk material storage facilities (such as silos or large material piles), Sand Bucket Elevator is often used to lift materials to the top of the silo for feeding, or to take them out from the bottom and lift them again to the next conveying equipment.
Material transportation in a closed environment: For materials that need to control dust, avoid material contamination or prevent moisture from entering, the fully enclosed design of the Sand Bucket Elevator enables it to complete the vertical transportation task of materials in a controlled environment.
High space utilization requirements: When the site space is limited and large-scale horizontal transportation cannot be arranged, the Sand Bucket Elevator can use the vertical space to greatly save floor space and achieve a compact equipment layout.
