Calcium carbonate bucket elevator

What is Calcium carbonate bucket elevator?

Calcium Carbonate Bucket Elevator (is a mechanical device specially used for vertical or inclined conveying of calcium carbonate powder, granules or other similar materials. It lifts materials from low to high through a bucket fixed on a belt or chain, and is widely used in the production, processing, storage and transportation of calcium carbonate. Bucket elevator has become one of the indispensable equipment in the calcium carbonate related industry due to its high efficiency, stability and reliability.

Calcium carbonate bucket elevator purpose

1. Vertical transportation of calcium carbonate materials: Calcium carbonate bucket elevator can lift calcium carbonate powder or granular materials from low to high to achieve vertical transportation.

2. Calcium carbonate production line: In the calcium carbonate production process, bucket elevators are often used to transport calcium carbonate raw materials, semi-finished products or finished products.

3. Storage and loading and unloading: used to transport calcium carbonate materials to or from storage silos.

What industries can Calcium carbonate bucket elevator be used for?

Chemical industry: used for the production and processing of calcium carbonate.

Building materials industry: used for the production of cement, lime and other building materials.

Plastic and rubber industry: used for the delivery of fillers.

Food and pharmaceutical industry: used for the delivery of food-grade and pharmaceutical-grade calcium carbonate.

Environmental protection industry: used for the delivery of calcium carbonate in wastewater treatment and flue gas desulfurization.

Calcium carbonate bucket elevator customer cases

1. A chemical company: Using bucket elevators on the production line to transport calcium carbonate powder from the grinding machine to the packaging machine improves production efficiency.

2. A building materials company: Using bucket elevators on the cement production line to transport limestone and calcium carbonate to the mixing equipment ensures the continuity of production.

3. A food processing plant: Using food-grade bucket elevators to transport food-grade calcium carbonate ensures the hygiene and safety of the product.

Working principle of Calcium carbonate bucket elevator

A calcium carbonate bucket elevator lifts material vertically using buckets attached to a moving belt or chain.

 1   Calcium carbonate enters the boot (bottom) where buckets scoop it up. 

2  The belt/chain, driven by a motor, carries the filled buckets upwards. At the head (top), the buckets invert, discharging the material into a chute. Empty buckets return to the boot for refilling, creating a continuous cycle.  The system relies on the buckets' shape, the belt/chain's movement, and gravity for loading and unloading.  Factors like material properties and desired capacity influence the elevator's design.

Calcium carbonate bucket elevator structure

Casing: usually made of steel plate, used to protect the internal structure and prevent material leakage.

Hopper: fixed on the belt or chain, used to carry and lift materials.

Drive device: including motor, reducer and transmission device, used to drive the elevator to operate.

Tensioning device: used to adjust the tightness of the belt or chain to ensure smooth operation.

Feed port and discharge port: located at the bottom and top of the elevator, respectively, for the entry and exit of materials.

How to choose Calcium carbonate bucket elevator

When choosing a calcium carbonate bucket elevator, the following factors need to be considered:

Material characteristics: including the particle size, density, humidity, etc. of calcium carbonate.

Conveying capacity: It is necessary to determine the amount of calcium carbonate that needs to be transported per hour or per day.

Lifting height: It is necessary to determine the height to which the material needs to be lifted.

Conveying distance: It is necessary to determine the horizontal distance to which the material needs to be transported.

Other requirements: Such as special requirements such as dust prevention, explosion prevention, and wear resistance.
