5 Ways to Solve Bucket Elevator Ash Leakage

(1) Whole Casing flange gasket of bucket elevator damages or no flange gasket, please change new gasket, glue with the sealing glue, retighten the flange bolts.
(2) If material leaks from the head section and bottom base gap, please add a gasket or sealant.
(3) If altitude difference is too large, it will increase material feeding pressure, please change the material feeding method, add a feeding buffer device.
(4) Drive chain occurs idle rotation, please adjust the chain length. 

(5) Casing installation is not straight, please adjust perpendicularity of the casing length. 

Bucket elevator conveyor system equipment

Bucket elevator is one of the most commonly used lifting equipment with the advantages of high throughput, high lift height and smooth running.When using bucket elevator,the cooperation methods between bucket elevator and upstream equipment should be noticed,please see it as follows:
a.Hand feeding: the material in the bag can be fed into the conveying equipment through the feeding port. 
Advantage:The lifting machine can run normally without material blockage.
Disadvantage: Hand feeding required higher physical strength.

b. Feeding through Bin connected with chute: the feeding method saves human cost. Loading machine and vibration hopper are allowed under available working condition, hopper can store material and also brings buffer function, which will avoid overload problem because of too much material.

c. Common feeding and conveying equipment: belt conveyor, screw conveyor, scraper conveyor and so on.
In addition,if you do not know what equipment is suitable to cooperate with the bucket elevator,please feel free to contact our engineer,we will give you a best solution: http://www.pkmachinery.com/
