Bentonite conveying bucket elevator

What is a Bentonite conveying bucket elevator?

Bentonite conveying bucket elevator is a mechanical device specially used for vertical conveying of bentonite. It lifts bentonite from a low place to a high place through a series of buckets fixed on chains or belts. It can be used in industrial occasions where continuous and efficient conveying of bentonite is required.

Purpose of Bentonite conveying bucket elevator

Vertical conveying of bentonite: mainly used to convey bentonite from the ground or low place to a high place, such as a storage silo, reactor or mixing equipment.

Continuous production: suitable for industrial processes that require continuous and automated production.

Reduce dust pollution: the closed design can reduce the dust diffusion of bentonite during the conveying process and improve the working environment.

Bentonite conveying bucket elevator application

Foundry industry: bentonite is an important binder for foundry sand, and bucket elevators are used to convey bentonite to sand mixing equipment.

Oil and gas industry: bentonite is used for drilling mud, and bucket elevators are used to convey bentonite to mud mixing equipment.

Chemical industry: Bentonite is used as a catalyst or adsorbent, and bucket elevators are used to transport bentonite to reactors or storage silos.

Environmental protection industry: Bentonite is used for wastewater treatment, and bucket elevators are used to transport bentonite to treatment equipment.

Bentonite conveying bucket elevator customer case

A foundry: Bentonite conveying bucket elevator is used to transport bentonite from the ground to the sand mixer, which improves production efficiency and reduces manual operations.

An oil drilling company: A bucket elevator is used to transport bentonite to the drilling mud mixing equipment to ensure the continuous supply of drilling mud.

A chemical plant: A bucket elevator is used to transport bentonite to the reactor for catalytic reaction, which improves the level of production automation.

Working principle of Bentonite conveying bucket elevator

When the Bentonite conveying bucket elevator is working, bentonite enters the bucket elevator from the bottom, and the bucket is loaded with bentonite at the bottom. Through the movement of the chain or belt, the bucket lifts the bentonite vertically to the specified height. At the top, the bucket unloads the bentonite to the discharge port by gravity or centrifugal force. The empty bucket returns to the bottom and is reloaded with bentonite to form a continuous cycle.

Bentonite conveying bucket elevator structure

Bucket: used for loading and conveying bentonite, usually made of metal, in the shape of a deep bucket or a shallow bucket.

Chain or belt: used to drive the bucket to move, the chain is suitable for heavy loads, and the belt is suitable for light loads.

Drive device: includes motor, reducer and drive wheel to provide power.

Shell: closed structure to prevent dust diffusion and protect the environment.

Feed inlet and discharge port: located at the bottom and top respectively, used for loading and unloading bentonite.

How to choose a Bentonite conveying bucket elevator?

Conveying volume: Determine the amount of bentonite that needs to be conveyed per hour based on production needs.

Lifting height: Determine the lifting height based on the site layout.

Material properties: Consider the particle size, humidity and viscosity of the bentonite, and select the appropriate hopper and chain/belt.

Working environment: Consider temperature, humidity and corrosiveness, and select the appropriate material.

Automation level: According to the automation requirements of the production process, choose whether to equip it with an automatic control system.
