1. Overview

The Bucket Elevator is a vertical continuous lifting machine specially designed for vertical bulk material transportation. It is divided into chain type and belt type according to the traction component. Multiple material buckets are evenly mounted on the traction assembly, which circulates up and down inside the sealed housing. Materials are loaded at the bottom inlet and discharged at the top outlet by centrifugal or gravity unloading mode. The fully closed cabinet prevents dust leakage and material waste, with small floor space and high vertical lifting efficiency, which is the ideal vertical conveying equipment for powder, granule and small lump materials.

2. Working Principle

The driving sprocket at the top drives the endless chain or belt to run cyclically. Material buckets scoop materials from the bottom feeding section and move upward vertically along the sealed housing. When the bucket passes the top drive wheel, materials are thrown out by centrifugal force or gravity and fall into the discharge chute. Empty buckets return downward along the return track to complete continuous circulation lifting. The whole process runs in a closed shell to avoid dust flying and material loss.

3. Core Features & Advantages

Fully sealed dust-proof structure: Zero dust leakage, meet environmental protection emission standards

Small footprint: Vertical layout saves factory horizontal space

High lifting height: Single unit maximum lifting height up to 60 meters

Stable conveying & low breakage: Gentle bucket loading reduces material particle damage

Multiple traction options: Belt type for light abrasive materials, chain type for high-temperature & heavy abrasive materials

Customized unloading modes: Centrifugal unloading, gravity unloading for different material characteristics

Low maintenance: Wear-resistant buckets and traction parts, convenient inspection door design
