 Bucket Conveyors manufacturer

Bucket conveyors emerge as a huge mechanism with the arrangement of buckets/cups, provide easy movement of material. Bucket Conveyors are specifically used, where free flow bulk material is required to be transferred vertically.  It is a mechanism, where buckets are added in a way providing, it easy movement vertically. It can contain free-flow bulk material and transfer the material at vertical heights.

Neo Bucket conveyors are specially designed to move free-flowing powders or bulk solids vertically with ease.  Bucket Conveyors require a chain or belt with the arrangement of buckets in series enabling easy movement vertically.

  For the movement of material at vertical points, the bulk material is fed into an inlet hopper. The Buckets or cups, which are attached to the chain or belt, dig into the material and convey/transfer it up and over the head sprocket/pulley, and then the material is thrown out a discharge chute or throat.

Bucket Conveyors manufacturer  :

• Number of Buckets or Cups to contain material.
• A suitable belt or chain to convey the material, enabling buckets to carry them and transmit the pull.
• An Electronic Motor and a Gear Box to act as a driver.
• Various accessories are added to it, along with its unique mechanism, such as, loading the buckets, picking material, receiving material, maintaining belt tension, protecting the conveyor, etc.

 Bucket Conveyors are usually used, where, there is a need to transfer or convey the free flow material at vertical heights or steep inclined planes.  The buckets are returned back down to a tail pulley or sprocket at the bottom.

Classification of Bucket's conveyors can be made into four major heads: centrifugal, continuous, positive, and internal discharge. The most commonly used are centrifugal and continuous discharge conveyors.

Centrifugal discharge bucket elevators

Centrifugal discharge bucket elevators are made specifically to be used to provide movement to free-flow material, powdered bulk solids such as grains, animal feed, sand, minerals, sugar, aggregates, chemicals, etc.  They are fast and operated at high speed, throwing the materials out of the buckets into discharge throats by centrifugal force.

 Centrifugal Discharge Bucket Conveyors can have buckets attached/mounted at intervals, on a belt or chain.  Centrifugal Discharge Bucket Conveyors are used to handle bulk material, which can be picked up by the spaced buckets, as they pass under the boot wheel and discharge by centrifugal forces as the buckets pass over the head.

A centrifugal discharge conveyor may be vertical or inclined. Vertical Conveyors, depend entirely on the action of centrifugal force to get the material into the discharge chute and must be run at speeds relatively high. Inclined elevators with buckets spaced apart or set close together may have the discharge chute set partly under the head pulley. Since they don’t depend entirely on the centrifugal force to put the material into the chute, the speed may be relatively lower.

Continuous discharge bucket elevators

continuous discharge bucket elevators are used to handling friable, fragile materials, as they minimize the damage of product or are used to handle light fluffy materials, where aeration of the product must be avoided.  

Continuous bucket conveyors operate at a slower speed having buckets spaced continuously on a belt or a chain.  These are recommended especially, where such material is required to be handled which are difficult to pick up in a boot or friable materials.  

The continuous bucket placement on a belt or a chain, allows the force of gravity to discharge their load onto the inverted front of the proceeding bucket. The bucket then guides that material into the discharge throat on the descending side of the conveyor.
