Bucket Elevators are used as a material handling equipment in various industries. This equipment consists of a continuous chain and bucket design, which has overlapping bucket lips. The elevator is used for moving all kinds of food products and rocks in various industries.
Common Types
Proper Belt Width
- For buckets up to 16" wide (400mm), the belt should be at least 1" (25mm) wider than the buckets.
- For buckets wider than 16" wide (400mm), the belt should be at least 2" (25mm) wider than the buckets.
Proper Pulley Face Width
- For belts up to 12" (300mm) wide, the pulley face width should be at least 1" (25mm) wider than the belt.
- For belts greater than 12" (25mm) wide, the pulley face width should be at least 2" (50mm) wider than the belt.
Head Pulley Lagging
The installation of high quality rubber lagging is recommended to provide the highest coefficient of friction between the belt and the pulley, thereby maximizing the driving force and eliminating belt slippage. Lagging also aids in cushioning the impact of the buckets on the head pulley.
