Overview
The Z-Type Bucket Elevator is an efficient material conveying equipment that integrates horizontal conveying and vertical lifting. It adopts a closed structure design and is suitable for the flexible conveying of non-sticky materials in powder, granular and small lump forms.Its unique Z-shaped layout can flexibly adapt to narrow spaces, realize multi-point feeding and discharging, and is suitable for single horizontal, horizontal + vertical + horizontal or arbitrary turning combinations in a straight line. It is widely used in various environments that require gentle material handling.
The Z-Type Bucket Elevator is also called a rotary bucket elevator. It is suitable for horizontal-vertical-horizontal conveying of non-sticky materials such as small lumps, granules and powders, and is widely used for lifting bulk materials in industries such as food, feed, chemical industry, medicine and metallurgy.This equipment is mostly used for feeding weighing packaging machines, feeding color sorters and re-selection feeding, as well as three-dimensional cyclic loading and unloading in automatic production lines.It has the characteristics of no material damage, flexible combination forms, large lifting capacity and good sealing performance, making it suitable for various occasions that require gentle material handling.
Main Structure:
- Hopper: Used for loading materials, with a variety of material options such as stainless steel, carbon steel, food-grade plastic, etc. Different materials are suitable for different types of material conveying. The hoppers are densely arranged to increase the material conveying capacity.
- Chain: As a traction component, low-alloy high-strength round-link chain is generally selected. After special heat treatment, it has excellent tensile strength and wear resistance, ensuring stable operation and long service life of the equipment.
- Sprocket: Usually adopts an assembled structure, with the wheel body and rim connected by high-strength bolts. This design facilitates replacing only the rim after the sprocket is worn, reducing maintenance costs and difficulty.
- Machine Shell: The whole machine shell adopts a sealed design, which can effectively prevent material leakage and dust emission. There are various material options for the machine shell, including semi-closed, dust-proof, air-tight, stainless steel, carbon steel spraying, etc., to meet the needs of different working environments.
- Tensioning Device: A weight lever-type tensioning device is installed at the lower part, which can realize automatic tensioning, ensure that the chain always maintains a constant tension force, and avoid slipping or chain detachment during equipment operation.
Working Principle:
Materials enter the hopper from the feeding port, are lifted to the top along with the conveying chain, turn downward after bypassing the top wheel, and the Z-type rotary bucket elevator dumps the materials into the receiving trough.The transmission belt of the belt-driven bucket elevator generally uses a rubber belt, which is installed on the lower or upper drive roller and the upper and lower direction-changing rollers.The chain-driven Z-type rotary bucket elevator is generally equipped with two parallel transmission chains, with a pair of drive sprockets on the upper or lower part and a pair of direction-changing sprockets on the lower or upper part.Bucket elevators are generally equipped with a machine shell to prevent dust emission from the bucket elevator.The Z-Type Bucket Elevator is standard equipped with a torque protector. When a metal hopper is used, the machine will stop running if the hopper is stuck due to a fault, and the alarm light will turn on at the same time, avoiding accidents and ensuring safety and reliability.The rotary bucket lifting conveys materials through hoppers suspended on chains in a closed shell, and can realize horizontal-vertical-horizontal combined conveying. It can perform single-point or multi-point feeding, and complete single-point or multi-point discharging through a specially designed discharging device.
