As a guide to be used in selecting the most efficient and economical Bucket Elevator for an application, the following outline is offered:

1.    Material Characteristics

·         Abrasive, free-flowing, sluggish, temperature, fluffy, friable, degradable, etc.

·         Weight per cubic foot at loading point into the bucket elevator.

·         Maximum and average size of lumps – percentage of lumps.

2.    Maximum discharge rate required of bucket elevator.

3.    Center to center dimensions between head shaft and foot shaft.

4.    Operating conditions

·         Indoors

·         Outdoors

·         Corrosive atmosphere, etc.

5.    Type of service required

·         Continuous

·         Intermittent

6.    Calculate the volumetric capacity required (cubic feet per hour).

 

7.    Determine the proper type of bucket elevator required, based upon the material being handled.

8.   With reference to volumetric capacity and percent of lump size, determine bucket elevator number using the selection tabulations provided. These tabulations also indicate head shaft size and required horsepower.
