Silica powder bucket elevator

What is Silica Powder Bucket Elevator?

Silica powder bucket elevator is a device used to vertically transport silicon powder (silicon dioxide powder). It lifts silicon powder from a low place to a high place through a hopper fixed on a belt or chain. It is widely used in industries that require continuous and efficient transportation of silicon powder. The equipment has the characteristics of compact structure, stable operation, good sealing, etc., and is suitable for handling fine powder materials.

Why use Silica Powder Bucket Elevator?

Vertical conveying of silicon powder: lifting silicon powder from a low place (such as the ground or storage silo) to a high place (such as a reactor, mixing equipment or packaging machine).

Continuous production: meeting the continuous conveying needs of silicon powder in industrial production and improving production efficiency.

Reducing dust pollution: through the sealing design, preventing silicon powder from raising dust during the conveying process and improving the working environment.

Adapting to various process requirements: conveying silicon powder to different equipment or process links, such as mixing, drying, packaging, etc.

What industries can Silica Powder Bucket Elevator be used in?

Chemical industry: used to convey silicon powder as a catalyst, filler or additive.

Electronic industry: silicon powder is an important raw material for manufacturing electronic components such as semiconductors and solar cells.

Coating industry: silicon powder is used as a filler or thickener for coatings.

Rubber industry: silicon powder is used as a reinforcing filler for rubber products.

Building materials industry: silicon powder is used to produce high-performance concrete, refractory materials, etc.

Food and pharmaceutical industries: high-purity silicon powder is used as food additives or pharmaceutical excipients.

Silica Powder Bucket Elevator Customer Cases

A chemical company: Use Bucket Elevator to transport silicon powder to the reactor for the production of catalysts, improving production efficiency.

An electronic material factory: Use Bucket Elevator to transport silicon powder to the mixing equipment for the manufacture of semiconductor materials.

A paint factory: Use Bucket Elevator to transport silicon powder, reducing dust pollution and improving the working environment.

A building materials company: Use Bucket Elevator to transport silicon powder to concrete mixing equipment, improving production efficiency.

How does the silica powder bucket elevator work?

As the belt or chain moves, the buckets scoop up silica powder at the inlet point and elevate it vertically. The material is then discharged at the desired height through an outlet. The elevator is equipped with features such as speed protection, anti-deviation mechanisms, and backstop devices to ensure stable operation and protection.

What are the structural components of Silica Powder Bucket Elevator?

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

Hopper: fixed on the belt or chain, used to load silicon powder.

Belt/chain: connected to the hopper to transmit power.

Shell: closed structure to prevent dust from spilling.

Feed inlet: located at the bottom, used for loading silicon powder.

Discharge port: located at the top, used for discharging silicon powder.

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

Inspection door: convenient for equipment maintenance and overhaul.

Silica Powder Bucket Elevator Selection Guide

Conveying capacity: select the appropriate conveying capacity (tons/hour) according to production needs.

Lifting height: select the appropriate lifting height according to the actual site conditions.

Material properties: consider the particle size, humidity, viscosity and other characteristics of silicon powder, and select the appropriate hopper and belt/chain material.

Operating environment: Select suitable materials (such as stainless steel) and sealing methods according to environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and corrosiveness.

Motor power: Select the appropriate motor power according to the conveying volume and lifting height.

Maintenance requirements: Select equipment that is easy to maintain and repair to reduce downtime.

Environmental requirements: If strict dust control is required, select a bucket elevator with a fully sealed design.
