How to Solve the Insufficient Lifting Capacity Problem of Bucket Elevator

Bucket elevator offers a good help for conveying material in the factory, however, many users may doubt that why the actual work efficiency is not as good as they expected, such as insufficient lifting capacity problem, here PK Machinery will introduce some methods to increase the bucket elevator capacity in following six aspects: 

1.increase the elevator speed, change the driving wheel transmission ratio
2.increase the downstream equipment capacity of bucket elevator

3. make sure the buckets are full of material.

4. clean the sticky materials on the buckets and wheels regularly 

5. fix and correct the chute of discharging outlet

6. avoid material inside the buckets return back

Solving the lifting capacity problem of bucket elevator effectively can not only solve the conveying efficiency for the users, but also can meet the production requirements, in our daily life of operation, please pay attention to this problem !

How to deal with the phenomenon of bucket elevator returning material too much

The phenomenon of returning material in operating bucket elevator is that the material can’t completely discharge from the bucket elevator but some falls into the inside of machine. When lifting the material, if there is returning so much material, it will reduce production efficiency, increase power consumption and material broken percentage.

The reasons why there is returning so much material and the approaches to solve them are as following:

1.The speed of hopper is so fast. When the bucket elevator lifts different materials, the speed of hopper is different. In general, lifting dry powder or granular material, the speed is about 1~2m/s; lifting lump material, the speed is about 0.4~0.6m/s; lifting wet powder or granular material, the speed is about 0.6~0.8m/s. If the speed is too fast, the material will be discharged in advance and then causes the phenomenon of feeding material back. At this time, we should bring down the speed of hopper according to the lifting material.

2.The discharge tongue plate in die exit is installed improper. If the discharged tongue plate is far from dumped position, it will cause return material. So we should adjust the position of tongue plate in time.

How to reduce the cost of bucket elevator effectively

Bucket elevator is widely used in the industrial production. And its facility cost and operation cost have become an an important part of enterprise production costs, account a large proportion. So we can reduce the cost through the corresponding way.

1. First of all, the type of bucket elevator must be suitable. We should know whether the power and conveying chain is suitable for material. If the model is too large, it maybe cause a waste of space;but if the model is too small, it will cause a waste of energy because it must divide material several times to lift. 

  

2. Choose good quality equipment which the structure is easy to install and repair. And then it will reduce the loss that caused by damaging. Moreover, we must do the regular maintain so that we can reduce the damage of equipment.

3. We can calculate the optimal dosage when we operate the machine, so that we can ensure that the device has a high efficiency of coveying.

These measures can reduce the cost of bucket elevator effectively. In addition, our company have a good after sale service system that it can make its value improve further,which helps to reduce the cost of lifting machine. In this way, the end-user will have more confidence to buy our products, and the user's interests can be protected.

The introduction of plate chain bucket elevator

Plate chain bucket elevator is the most widely application vertically lifting equipments. It can apply to convey medium,large and abrasive material,such as limestone,cement clinker,lump coal,ect..And the tempreture of material should be no more than 250℃.

Features:

1.Large transport capacity:The lifting capacity is 100-1000m3/h;

2.Small drive power:It uses flow-through to feed material and inducement type to discharge material.And high-capacity hopper lays out densely.Therefore,there is little phenomenon of feeding material back or digging material.And then it can save 30% power than ring chain bucket elevator；

3.Long service life:There is little phenomenon of extrusion between materials through flow type feeding.So it can reduce the situation of machine wear.Plate chain bucket elevator adopts high strength wear resistant conveyor chain so that it can prolong the service life of link chain and hopper；

4.Wide application:It not only can lift powder and granule material, but also abrasive material and material which tempreture is no more than 250℃；

5.High reliability:It adopts advanced design principle and manufacturing method so that can ensure the reliability of the whole machine；

6.Good sealing:Lower pollution to environment；

7.Low comprehensive cost:Its use-cost is low because it has less power consumption and less maintenance.

The type selection principle of bucket elevator

The key to select the type of bucket elevator properly is that whether we can exert its service efficiency to meet the production requirements and improve production efficiency. The following aspects are how to select the type of bucket elevator.

1. Initial parameters 

Material name; Material characteristics, it includes particle size (mm), bulk density ρ(t/m3),temperature, wetness, viscosity, ect.; The actual conveying capacity Q(m3/h); Need to lifting height H(m).

2. Hopper patterns 

According to the wetness and viscosity of material, we select different Hopperpatterns. Anterior wall of shallow hopper has large slant angle and small depth,so this kind of hopper is suitable for conveying wet and poor flowing propertymaterial. The anterior wall of deep hopper has small angle and large depth, sothis kind of hopper is suitable for conveying dry and good flowing property material. For the hopper with guide edge, it is suitable for conveying heavy andabrasive material.

3. Traction component types

According to lifting height and tempreture of material, we select different bucket elevator. The advantages of belt bucket elevator are low cost, operating smoothly, lower noise, ect.. Therefore, it is widely used in many industries. But itslifting height isn’t so high. On the contrary the plate chain bucket elevator hasa high lifting height, and it can lifting large lump and high tempreture material.

4. Method of  installation

According to technological requirements, we select different bucket elevator. It must add devices to support traction components when the traction componentsof inclined bucket elevator have large cable sag. So in general, we adopt rectilinear bucket elevator. When rectilinear bucket elevator can’t meet the special technological requirements, we adopt inclined bucket elevator.
