Bucket elevators

Grain bucket elevators - efficient transport facilities for your production

Grain chain bucket elevator is a special vertical elevator, the main purpose of which is to transport various bulk, in particular grain crops, and lump materials along the vertical plane. Chain bucket elevators are used in different areas, since it is this device that can move any material to a greater height while having a relatively compact size without decreasing performance.

Belt bucket elevator body frame is a closed box that prevents the possible influence of the external environment on the grain and its losses, and eliminates the possibility of its contamination. Along with a high performance, grain chain bucket elevators have extremely low energy and operating costs, which have a positive effect on the product costs and, as a result, the final profit of the enterprise.

Bucket elevators operation principle

Let us distinguish three basic components of a bucket elevator: the loading station or boot drum, the power drive station or the head and the shafts. The equipment works very simply. From the transporter through the loading part of the boot drum, the grain goes to the buckets. In addition, it is taken by buckets from the bottom, if it gets there by gravity. Further along the shafts, the raw material moves in buckets to the upper sector of the elevator, where the material is unloaded.

Bucket elevators application spheres

Elevator’s design provides its exploitation in severe production with no time for repair work, with the process being designed for high and maximum efficiency of equipment. While placing the order with the KHARKOVPRODMASH company for the belt chain bucket elevators, you will get a machinery, providing even load and extremely gentle transportation of grain and other bulk materials. That is why our bucket elevators are widely used in the most modern and high-tech grain processing enterprises, as well as linear and port elevators, mills and granaries, bread-baking plants, feed mills and flourmills.

Advantages of bucket elevators operating

• The equipment is easy to install owing to the sectional assembly of the construction. All panels are removable, which allows unhindered access to the machine for maintenance or, if necessary, to replace sections.
• The work process is easy and safe to control owing to the mesh reinforcement and hinged doors.
• A built-in breaking device prevents belt’s reverse trace of the grain bucket elevator.
• The construction of the equipment is reliably protected by a lining, made of wear-resistant steel. It is removable and when the equipment is worn out, it will not be necessary to replace the entire body frame. We perform special orders, such as the completing of an additional protective lining made of polyurethane, with ceramic filling or ceramic tiles.
• The drive and engines of the elevator are not blocked, and the space around them is equipped with a convenient service platform.
• The loading station has three versions: self-cleaning, standard and self-pulling boot drum with gravity tension of the belt.
• Grain chain bucket elevators can be completed with ladders, adapters, run-off and displacement sensors and bearing temperature sensor as per order.
