Do You Really Know the Safe Installation of Bucket Elevator

1.The bucket elevator must be securely mounted on a solid concrete foundation. Concrete foundation surface should be flat and present as a horizontal state to ensure well-installed bucket elevator can achieve vertical requirements. Middle and upper casing section of a higher height bucket elevator should be connected with the neighbouring buildings in order to increase its stability. Firstly, please install the lower part, fix the anchor bolt, and then install the middle casing and upper casing. After complete the installation, please adjust and correct the vertical height, upper and lower shaft should be parallel to each other, and shafts should be in the same plane. When install the bucket elevator with a lower height , you can connect the upper ,middle and lower casing well first on the ground, and then hang the complete set vertically and fix it on the concrete foundation.

 

2. After completing the installation of casing, you can install the chain and bucket. The u-shape screw which is used for connect the buckets, it is not only a chain connector, but also a fixture of buckets. U-screw nuts must be tighten and locked securely, after the installation of chain and bucket, please adjust it to get a proper tension. 
3.Add the appropriate amount of oil or grease in the gearbox and bearing respectively, reducer should be lubricated with industrial gear oil, bearing seat can be lubricated with calcium or sodium base grease.

How to Install the Asbestos Tape in the Bucket Elevator?

In the process of the installation of the bucket elevator,in order to prevent the leakage of dust, pollute the environment,our engineer anways using the asbestos tape in the bucket elevator.Here we will introduce the detailed information as follows.

Why the asbestos tape has such good sealing?That's mostly because the asbestos tape is woven with high quality stone cotton yarn.Asbestos tape is suitable for various thermal equipment for heat preservation, heat insulation material or processed into other asbestos products.

A good sealing plays an important role in the installation quality of the bucket elevator.  Asbestos Tape is the best choice of sealing material, which is installed on the casing flange joints.What you should pay attention is that you should put the asbestos tape into the interface beforing connecting flange, and then connecting the bolts.
