Cement Bucket Elevator
What is cement bucket elevator?
Cement bucket elevator is a conveying equipment used for vertical lifting of bulk materials such as cement, limestone, sand and coal. It is composed of hoist body, hoist screw shaft, hoist bucket and other parts. When working, the screw shaft drives the lifting bucket to rotate along the axial direction, conveying the material from the bottom to the top, and completing the vertical conveying task. Cement bucket elevators are usually used in construction sites, mines, chemical plants, etc., and are widely used in storage bins and continuous conveying of any material. It has the characteristics of large conveying capacity, high conveying height, simple and reliable structure, and convenient maintenance.
The structure of cement bucket elevator:
1. Elevator hopper: used to store and lift bulk materials, generally welded by steel plates, with strong carrying capacity.
2. Hoist frame: used to bear the overall structure and gravity of the hoist, usually welded by steel structure, with good stability.
3. Transmission device: mainly including motor, reducer, chain, scraper and other components, used to drive the hopper to move vertically.
Working principle of cement bucket elevator:
The working principle of the cement bucket elevator is: drive the transmission device through the motor to connect the hopper with the chain. When the motor starts, the transmission device drives the chain to rotate, so that the hopper can move up or down. When the hopper rises to the desired height, cement or other bulk materials are poured out through the discharge port at the bottom of the hopper.
Advantages of cement bucket elevator:
1. High lifting efficiency: Since the hoist adopts a continuous lifting method, a large amount of materials can be lifted per minute, which improves production efficiency.
2. Simple structure: Due to the relatively simple structure of the hoist, it is relatively convenient to operate and maintain, saving manpower and time costs.
3. High space utilization: The vertical movement of the hoist can make better use of the space and is suitable for scenes with limited height.
4. Height adjustable: According to needs, the height of the hoist can be adjusted to adapt to working scenes of different heights.
Application scenarios of cement bucket elevator:
1. Cement factory: The cement bucket elevator can be used to transfer bulk cement from the ground to a high storage bin or mixing equipment.
2. Coal mines: Cement bucket elevators can be used to lift coal from underground or open-pit mines to the ground for subsequent processing and storage.
3. Mine concentrator: Cement bucket elevator can be used to lift ore from underground or open-pit mines to the concentrator for mineral processing.
4. Grain processing plants: Cement bucket elevators can be used to lift bulk grain from warehouses or harvesting grounds to processing equipment.
In short, the cement bucket elevator is a kind of mechanical equipment widely used in mines, cement plants, grain processing plants and other fields. It has the advantages of high lifting efficiency, simple structure, high space utilization and adjustable height, and is suitable for the application scenario of vertical transportation of bulk materials.
