Z-type bucket elevator

Z-type bucket elevator is suitable for continuous lifting and transportation of powdery, granular and small block materials, such as flour, sand, grains, plastic granules, etc. Its processing capacity can be adjusted according to the equipment model and material characteristics, covering the transportation needs of 3-100 cubic meters/hour. The hopper capacity provides multiple specifications from 1L to 6.5L. The materials include plastic, carbon steel and stainless steel, which can flexibly match the fluidity and process requirements of different materials. Applicable materials for Z-type bucket elevator
Powdered materials: such as flour, chemical powder, fly ash, etc. These materials are fine particles and are easy to load and transport in the hopper.
Granular materials: such as sand, grains, plastic granules, etc. Granular materials have good fluidity and are suitable for continuous transportation through Z-type bucket elevators.
Small block materials: such as pebbles, coal blocks, etc. As long as the size of the block material is moderate and will not get stuck in the bucket of the elevator, it can be transported smoothly.
Mixed materials: When the material is a mixture of multiple types, as long as the size of the individual particles is moderate, Z-type bucket elevator is also applicable. Working principle of Z-type bucket elevator
The working principle of Z-type bucket elevator is based on the circular motion of chain or belt. After the equipment is started, the chain or belt starts to circulate under the drive of the drive device. The bucket is fixed on the chain or belt, and as the chain or belt moves, the bucket is loaded with materials in the bottom horizontal section. When the bucket moves to the top horizontal section, the material is discharged by centrifugal force or gravity and enters the downstream equipment. The empty bucket continues to move with the chain or belt to the bottom horizontal section to start a new round of loading cycle.
The uniqueness of Z-type bucket elevator lies in its Z-shaped design. This design enables the equipment to achieve vertical and horizontal lifting of materials in a limited space, thereby saving space and improving work efficiency. Bucket of Z-type bucket elevator
Plastic bucket: suitable for conveying non-corrosive materials. Plastic bucket has the advantages of light weight, corrosion resistance, and easy cleaning, but its wear resistance is relatively poor.
Carbon steel bucket: has high strength and wear resistance, suitable for conveying general materials. Carbon steel hoppers are low cost, but have relatively poor corrosion resistance.
Stainless steel hoppers: have excellent corrosion resistance and are suitable for conveying corrosive materials. Stainless steel hoppers are expensive, but have a long service life. There are also multiple options for the capacity of the hopper, such as 1L, 1.8L, 3.8L and 6.5L. The design of the hopper takes into account the fluidity and unloading method of the material to ensure that the material can be loaded and unloaded smoothly. In practical applications, the appropriate hopper type and capacity should be selected according to the characteristics of the material and the conveying requirements. The Z-type bucket elevator uses the circular motion of the chain or belt as the core to drive the hopper to complete the loading and unloading of materials. Its applicable material range is clear, and large, sticky or corrosive materials should be avoided to prevent operating failures. The equipment processing capacity and hopper capacity can be configured according to actual needs. Plastic hoppers are suitable for non-corrosive materials, carbon steel hoppers take into account both strength and cost, and stainless steel hoppers meet the conveying requirements of corrosive materials.
