Introduction
Bucket
elevators are designed to move flowing powders or bulk
solids vertically. Bucket elevators use an endless belt or
chain and have a series of buckets attached to it. Bulk
material is spread into an inlet hopper. Buckets dig into
the material and convey it up and over the head
sprocket/pulley, and then throw the material out a discharge
throat.
Bucket elevators are not self-feeding, and are fed at a
controlled rate. The buckets are usually where the chain or
belt path is vertical or steeply inclined in a single plane.
The buckets are returned back down to a tail pulley or
sprocket at the bottom.
There are four broad classifications of bucket elevators:
centrifugal, continuous, positive, and internal discharge.
The most commonly used are the centrifugal and continuous
discharge elevators.
WEARCO
NSW
industrial bucket elevators are made in a variety of shapes,
weights and sizes, all utilizing centrifugal buckets or
continuous buckets.
IN THIS SECTION
Centrifugal Bucket
Elevators
 Centrifugal
bucket elevators are most commonly used to convey all
free-flowing, powdered
bulk
solids such as grains, animal feed, sand,
minerals, sugar, aggregates, chemicals and more. They
operate at high speeds, which throw the materials out the
buckets into discharge throats by centrifugal force.
WEARCO
NSW's
elevator design program can assist
clients
in almost all fields of industrial application for design
and manufacture of new machines along with recommendations
for retrofitting modification to increase performance of
existing machines.
