Chemical Raw Material Bucket Elevator

What is Chemical Raw Material Bucket Elevator?

Chemical raw material bucket elevator is a mechanical equipment specially used for vertical conveying of chemical raw materials (such as granules, powders, minerals, etc.). Its core structure includes a hopper, a traction belt (or chain), a drive device and a shell, which is suitable for continuous and efficient lifting of materials. According to the design type, the common ones are Z-type chain bucket elevator and EI-type bucket elevator, and the lifting height range is generally 3 meters to 45 meters, and some models can reach 10 meters or higher.

Purpose of Chemical Raw Material Bucket Elevator

-Particle material transportation: such as fertilizers, plastic granules, mineral granules, etc.

-Powdered raw materials: such as chemical powders, fine chemicals, etc.

-Food and agriculture: For example, the lifting of agricultural products such as potatoes and grains (must meet food grade material requirements).

Chemical Raw Material Bucket Elevator Application Industry

-Chemical Industry: For vertical conveying of fertilizers, plastic granules, and mineral raw materials.

-Food processing: Such as the cleaning and packaging process of agricultural products.

-Pharmaceutical and Agriculture: Conveying APIs, seeds or fertilizers.

-Building materials and mining: such as cement, sand and gravel lifting.

Chemical Raw Material Bucket Elevator use site

-Chemical plant: used to lift raw materials from the bottom warehouse to the reactor or mixing equipment.

-Food processing line: realize the vertical transfer of materials from cleaning to packaging in the automated assembly line.

-Agricultural facilities: such as seed processing centers, used to lift and pack granular materials.

 

How does the Chemical Raw Material Bucket Elevator work?

1. Loading: The bottom hopper loads materials by gravity or mechanical means.

2. Lifting: The traction belt (or chain) drives the hopper to rise vertically, and the material is lifted to the target height.

3. Unloading: The material is thrown to the receiving device at the top by centrifugal force or gravity.

4. Cycle: The empty hopper returns to the bottom for reloading, forming a continuous cycle.

Advantages of Chemical Raw Material Bucket Elevator

-High efficiency and energy saving: The low speed design reduces energy consumption and is suitable for large-scale continuous operations.

-Modular structure: easy to install and maintain, and the lifting height can be adjusted according to needs.

-Good sealing: The shell design reduces dust leakage and meets environmental protection and safety standards.

-Strong adaptability: It can handle high-temperature and corrosive materials (corrosion-resistant materials such as PP or stainless steel are required).

Chemical Raw Material Bucket Elevator Parameters

|Parameter Type |Range/Description |

|--------------------|----------------------------------|

| Lifting Height | 3 m – 45 m (customized according to model) |

| Traction Mode | Chain or Belt Drive |

| Processing Capacity | According to hopper capacity and speed (customized) |

| Material | PP (polypropylene), stainless steel, carbon steel, etc. |

| Motor Power | According to load and height configuration (usually 1.5kW-15kW) |

How to select a Chemical raw material bucket elevator?

1. Material characteristics: particle size, humidity, corrosiveness (select corrosion-resistant materials).

2. Processing capacity: select hopper capacity and speed based on hourly delivery volume.

3. Space limitations: lifting height and installation position (such as Z type is suitable for space-constrained scenarios).

4. Environmental requirements: explosion-proof, waterproof or food-grade certification (such as PP material required in the food industry).

5. Maintenance cost: Chain type is suitable for heavy loads but requires regular lubrication, while belt type is easier to maintain.
