Bucket Elevator: Main Functions of Double Channel Bucket Elevator

Bucket elevator has two types, one is single channel, another is double channel. Double channel bucket elevator is the machine that has two channels, feeding on one side, and hopper descending after discharging on the other side. Double channel improves the strength of the middle section of bucket elevator, the ascending and descending of single channel bucket elevator are in one casing channel.

Lifting capacity of double channel bucket elevator is 30% higher than single channel under the same condition. If the lifting capacity of the standard bucket elevator is same to customers’ requirements after getting lifting capacity and height from customers, choosing double channel bucket elevator, which can not only reduce cost but meet customers’ requirements. For example, capacity customer required is 15 CBM/hr, and if uses TD160 single channel belt bucket elevator, it can be only 13CBM/hr. And the capacity of TD250 double channel bucket elevator can reach 25CBM/hr and meet customers’ requirements. The price of TD250 is much higher than TD160 and more energy consumption. However, efficiency of TD160 double channel bucket elevator is 30% higher than TD160 single channel bucket elevator, and less cost than TD250. So TD160 double channel bucket elevator can meet customers’ requirements better.
