Flour conveying bucket elevator

What is Flour Conveying Bucket Elevator?

Flour conveying bucket elevator is a kind of equipment specially used for vertical conveying of flour and other powdered materials. It lifts materials from low to high through a bucket fixed on a chain or belt, and is suitable for industrial scenarios that require efficient and continuous conveying.

What is the purpose of flour conveying bucket elevator?

The main purpose of the Flour conveying bucket elevator is to achieve efficient and continuous vertical conveying of flour and other powdered materials. It is designed to reduce material breakage, prevent dust leakage, and ensure the hygiene and safety of the conveying process.

What are the applications of flour conveying buck​et elevator?

Food industry: used for conveying powdered materials such as flour, powdered sugar, starch, etc.

Chemical industry: conveying powdered chemicals such as calcium carbonate, talcum powder, etc.

Pharmaceutical industry: used for vertical conveying of pharmaceutical raw materials.

Agriculture and feed industry: conveying grain powder, feed additives, etc.

How does a flour conveying bucket elevator work?

The material enters the bottom hopper of the elevator through the feed port. The hopper fixed on the chain or belt lifts the material vertically to the top. At the top, the material is discharged from the hopper by centrifugal force or gravity and enters the discharge port; the empty hopper returns to the bottom to complete a cycle.

What are the advantages of flour conveying bucket elevator?

Efficient conveying: large-capacity hopper design ensures high conveying efficiency.

Low breakage rate: suitable for fragile materials such as flour, reducing material breakage.

Good sealing: prevents dust leakage and meets hygiene standards.

Stable operation: high-strength chain or belt is used to ensure long-term stable operation of the equipment.

Easy maintenance: modular design, easy to clean and maintain.
