Wood Chip Conveying Bucket Elevator

What is Wood Chip Conveying Bucket Elevator?

Wood Chip Conveying Bucket Elevator is a device specially used for conveying wood chips vertically or obliquely. It lifts wood chips from low to high through a bucket fixed on a belt or chain, and is widely used in papermaking, biomass energy and other industries.

Purpose of Wood Chip Conveying Bucket Elevator

- Efficient conveying: realize large-scale and continuous vertical conveying of wood chips to improve production efficiency.

- Space saving: reduce floor space and optimize factory layout through vertical lifting.

- Protect materials: reduce the breakage and dust generation of wood chips during transportation to ensure material integrity.

Wood Chip Conveying Bucket Elevator Application

- Papermaking industry: used to convey papermaking raw materials (such as albizzia wood chips) to the production line.

- Biomass energy: convey wood chips to biomass power generation equipment.

- Wood processing: used for lifting and conveying materials such as wood chips and sawdust.

Wood Chip Conveying Bucket Elevator Customer Cases

- Vietnamese paper mill: Use bucket elevator to transport Albizia wood chips to meet the production demand of 20,000 tons per day.

- Biomass power plant: Use bucket elevator to transport wood chips to the combustion furnace to achieve efficient energy conversion.

Wood Chip Conveying Bucket Elevator Working Principle

The wood chips enter the hopper through the feed port, and the hopper moves upward driven by the traction chain. When it reaches the top, the wood chips are discharged from the hopper under the action of gravity or centrifugal force.

Structure of Wood Chip Conveying Bucket Elevator

The main structures of Wood Chip Conveying Bucket Elevator include:

- Hopper: used to carry wood chips, mostly made of wear-resistant steel plates.

- Belt/chain: used to connect and drive the hopper.

- Driving device: including motor, reducer and transmission wheel.

- Casing: closed design to prevent dust from spilling.

How to choose a Wood Chip Conveying Bucket Elevator

When choosing a Wood Chip Conveying Bucket Elevator, the following factors should be considered:

- Material characteristics: such as the size, moisture and density of the wood chips.

- Conveying capacity: select the appropriate conveying capacity according to production needs.

- Lifting height: ensure that the equipment can meet the vertical conveying requirements.

- Equipment material: select wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials to extend service life.
