Detailed Description

A bucket conveyor is a mechanical devices used to transport products from one stage to another. Bucket elevators are used in a wide variety of settings, including commercial agriculture and mining, and several specialty companies produce bucket elevators and accessories. These devices are used primarily when materials need to be handled in a large scale, and they are capable of moving huge volumes of bulk material every hour. Bucket elevators for the mechanical, vertical transportation of materials have become a crucial link in the production process in many industrial sectors. Material is fed into an inlet hopper. Buckets (or cups) dig into the material, and convey it up to and over the head sprocket/pulley, then throwing the material out the discharge throat. The emptied buckets then continue back down to the boot to continue the cycle. Continuous bucket elevators have buckets spaced continuously and operate at slower speeds. The continuous bucket placement allows the force of gravity to discharge their load onto the inverted front of the preceding bucket. The bucket then guides that material into the discharge throat on the descending side of the elevator. They minimize product damage or are used to handle light, fluffy materials where aeration of the product must be avoided. The motion of belt or chain is un-directional. Bucket elevator is a very simple yet reliable device for lifting of bulk materials. Bucket elevators enjoy a few advantages, which include simplicity of design and fabrication, requires minimum floor space, low initial investment.
