GTD Bucket Elevator

What is GTD Bucket Elevator?

GTD Bucket Elevator is an efficient and reliable vertical material conveying equipment, widely used in building materials, chemical, coal, electricity, grain and other industries. It uses belts or chains as traction components to lift materials vertically from low to high through the hopper. It has the characteristics of large conveying capacity, stable operation and good sealing.

What are the advantages of GTD Bucket Elevator?

Efficient conveying: large conveying capacity to meet large-scale production needs.

Smooth operation: advanced design and manufacturing technology are used to ensure stable operation of the equipment and low failure rate.

Good sealing: fully enclosed structure to prevent material leakage and dust pollution, in line with environmental protection requirements.

Long service life: hopper and traction components are made of wear-resistant materials with low maintenance costs.

Strong adaptability: suitable for a variety of materials such as powder, granular, block, etc., and can adapt to high temperature environments (up to 250°C).

How does GTD Bucket Elevator work?

The working principle of GTD Bucket Elevator is based on the synergy of the hopper and the traction component:

Loading: The material enters the hopper from the bottom feed port, and the hopper moves upward through the traction component (belt or chain).

Lifting: The hopper is lifted to the top in the vertical direction driven by the traction component.

Unloading: At the top, the hopper bypasses the drive wheel, and the material is discharged from the discharge port under the action of centrifugal force or gravity.

Structural composition of GTD Bucket Elevator

Traction component: Belt (GTD type) or high-strength chain (GTH type) is used to drive the hopper to move.

Hopper: It is divided into deep hopper (bd/dh type) and shallow hopper (ad/ah type), suitable for different material characteristics.

Drive device: It includes motor, reducer and drive wheel to provide power.

Casing: Fully enclosed structure to prevent dust from spilling and protect materials and environment.

Tensioning device: It is used to adjust the tightness of the traction component to ensure smooth operation.
