4 key factors decide the function of bucket elevator

 Bucket elevator can be installed singly or in a system, in order to meet the needs of the site and materials forms. The main parameter of the bucket elevator is according to the handling system, loading and unloading location conditions, production process and the characteristics of transported material,main aspects are as follows:
1. Conveying capacity: it means the amount per hour, usually calculated in weight or volume.
2. Conveying speed: improving the speed can increase the elevating capacity. Especially when use the belt bucket elevator for long distance transporting,it needs to improve the conveying speed, but if use chain bucket elevator you should not, in case of enlarging the burden.
3. Pats dimension: the dimension of parts include belt width, plate width, bucket volume, channel diameters and so on, these dimensions will have an impact on the conveying capacity.
4. Conveying distance: the total distance will have an impact on the total resistance and power

How to Select the Suitable Belt for TD Belt Bucket Elevators

TD belt bucket elevator uses belt as its traction, there are pitches between buckets, normally ,the buckets will be fixed with belt by bolts. General used belts include: ordinary rubber belt, nylon rubber belt and steel cord rubber belt. Here PK Machinery will introduce how to select the suitable rubber belt :

Ordinary rubber belt adopts cotton as its core, then molded after being coated with rubber vulcanization,. Usually, the ordinary rubber belt is used for bucket elevator with small lifting height.

Nylon rubber belt adopts nylon canvas as its core,then molded after coated with rubber vulcanization, it is usually used for TD belt bucket elevator with the height that is relatively big.

How to deal with the phenomenon of bucket elevator returning material too much?

 The phenomenon of returning material in operating bucket elevator is that the material can’t completely discharge from the bucket elevator but some falls into the inside of machine. When lifting the material, if there is returning so much material, it will reduce production efficiency, increase power consumption and material broken percentage.

The reasons why there is returning so much material and the approaches to solve them are as following:

1.The speed of hopper is so fast. When the bucket elevator lifts different materials, the speed of hopper is different. In general, lifting dry powder or granular material, the speed is about 1~2m/s; lifting lump material, the speed is about 0.4~0.6m/s; lifting wet powder or granular material, the speed is about 0.6~0.8m/s. If the speed is too fast, the material will be discharged in advance and then causes the phenomenon of feeding material back. At this time, we should bring down the speed of hopper according to the lifting material.

2.The discharge tongue plate in die exit is installed improper. If the discharged tongue plate is far from dumped position, it will cause return material. So we should adjust the position of tongue plate in time.
