The product is continuously and very gently fed into the bucket elevator by a vibrating feeder, the edges of the buckets overlap each other at the entrance section, so spillage is prevented, the bucket is always in the conveyor belt due to its pivotal mounting in the chain Hold their horizontal position until they finally reach the outlet, which can be equipped with multiple inlets and outlets. Ingresses can work concurrently, while outlets use singular, which means only one outlet is temporarily active.
While there are several types of feeders for bucket elevators, our main recommendation in many cases involves one of two feeders:
1. Vibrating feeder
The vibrating feeder uses vibration and gravity to feed the material into the bucket elevator. Gravity determines the direction of flow through the feeder, while a precisely regulated amount of vibration is used to move the material. Works with many material types, including those that are difficult to handle. A major advantage of vibratory feeders is that they do not damage or degrade the material or product passing through the feeder, and can provide a completely enclosed means of feeding material into the bucket elevator. This function can avoid product cross-contamination, dust and other problems.
2. Rotary valve feeder
A rotary valve feeder consists of a housing barrel that contains rotating blades that move material through the feeder. In applications where bucket elevators are used, rotary valve feeders can be used as volumetric feeders to discharge bulk solids from a hopper or silo directly into the conveyor. Round or square inlet and outlet methods are available Lan, like vibratory feeders, rotary valve feeders provide a fully enclosed feeding solution. This reduces the risk of material cross-contamination and dust release into the surrounding environment. Due to the nature of their design, the rotary valve feeder can damage or degrade fragile materials by contacting the material and moving it through the feeder. Therefore, these types of feeders are best suited for applications involving non-friable materials and products.
1. The buckets are made of a food grade reinforced polypropylene, molded in one piece and can handle temperatures from 10 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. The bucket elevators allow for controlled feeds at one or more locations and can easily interface with various types of feeding devices
3. All parts have easy to remove inspection covers and a conveniently located inspection window. The buckets have a quick release mechanism to facilitate fast installation or removal of buckets. All elevators are equipped with an automatic chain tensioning device and built-in overload protection.
Bucket elevator with hopper feeder is ideal for a variety of free-flowing products in the food, agriculture, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, chemical industries, such as snack foods, frozen foods, vegetables, fruits, confectionery, chemicals, and other pellets.
