Feed bucket elevator is a device used for vertical conveying of granular or powdered materials, commonly used in animal husbandry and feed processing industries. It conveys materials from the bottom to the top through a series of buckets mounted on chains or belts to achieve efficient material lifting and conveying. It conveys granular or powdered animal feed from a low place to a high place for further processing or storage. Its working principle is to scoop up the material from the storage below through a series of buckets fixed on the traction chain or belt, and lift it to the top with the conveyor belt or chain, and then turn it down after passing the top wheel to pour the material into the receiving trough.

Working principle of feed bucket elevator

Bucket design: The buckets on the feed bucket elevator are specially designed to load and convey materials efficiently. These buckets are usually made of wear-resistant materials such as steel or plastic to withstand the weight and wear of the conveyed materials.

Drive mechanism: The elevator is driven by a drive mechanism, usually an electric motor, which provides power to move the buckets on the chain or belt.

Vertical conveying: As the buckets move along the conveyor chain or belt, they load the material from the bottom and convey it to the top. At the discharge port, the material is released into a diversion trough or another conveying device for further processing or storage.

Feed bucket elevator selection recommendations

Particle size distribution: The particle size of the feed raw material affects the bucket design and conveying speed of the bucket elevator. The finer the particle size, the smaller the bucket shape and the slower the conveying speed.

Production scale and output: Consider the production scale and the material conveying volume required per hour/day, and select a bucket elevator suitable for the output.

Conveying distance and height: According to the layout and height requirements of the actual production site, select a bucket elevator with a suitable lifting height and conveying distance.

Material properties: Consider the material properties of animal feed, such as particle size, density, easy flowability, etc., and select a bucket elevator suitable for handling these properties.

Feed bucket elevator application scenarios

Raw material transportation: Transport granular or powdered raw materials such as corn, soybeans, and wheat bran from the ground to equipment such as mixers or crushers.

Mixed material conveying: Mix different kinds of raw materials and convey them to the pelletizing machine or pelletizing equipment.

Dry material conveying: Convey dried feed pellets to the packaging machine or storage equipment.

Packaging process: Convey from the production line to the packaging machine for easy packaging and shipment.

Storage equipment refilling: In the storage equipment of the feed mill, the required animal feed is conveyed to the corresponding storage bin or warehouse.

Feed bucket elevator is an important equipment for vertical conveying of bulk materials in various industrial fields. Its reliable operation, efficient material handling capacity and customizable design make it a key tool for improving production efficiency and optimizing material handling processes.
