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/  

What shall we do when the bucket elevator blocked?

If there is blockage, please stop feeding material immediately, if serious ,please stop the machine and check the cause of blockage. Please use a shovel or special tools to clear up the blocked materials instead of hands.

1.If blockage is caused by big lump material entering into the base , please stop machine ,remove big lump materials and plugging materials.

2.If blockage is caused by insufficient tension of bucket belt, please adjust the tension after removing plugging materials. 

3.If blockage is caused by large feed flow rate which exceeds the bucket elevator capacity, please adjust the control valve or use other methods to control the flow rate after removing plugging materials .

4.If blockage is caused by feed before start-up, please remove plugging materials, start up the bucket elevatoragain and operate in strict accordance with the rules. You can only feed the materials after non-load running is normal.
