The bucket elevator is used to vertically lift the block and granular materials such as limestone, coal, gypsum, clinker, dry clay and other powdery materials such as raw meal, cement, and coal powder that have passed through crusher.
The selection of bucket elevator depends on the following factors:
1.The form of the material: whether the material is powdery, granular or small.
2.Specific gravity of materials: Generally, bucket elevator parameters are designed and calculated for materials with a bulk specific gravity below 1.6. Too much material specific gravity requires calculation of traction and tensile strength of the transmission part.
Conveying volume per unit time: The final conveying volume of the bucket elevator is a comprehensive parameter that depends on the hopper form, bucket speed, material specific gravity, material properties, and the number of hoppers.
