Industrial Bucket Elevators are a common conveying equipment used to lift powdered and granular materials and keep the shape of the materials intact during the conveying process. Coreal Machinery has compiled some information for your reference.
Industrial Bucket Elevators have the following characteristics:
1) Efficient conveying: Industrial Bucket Elevators can continuously lift grain from low to high, with high conveying efficiency, which can meet the needs of large-scale grain transportation in granaries. It can be customized according to the height and conveying volume requirements of the granary.
2) Space saving: Its compact structure and small footprint are particularly suitable for use in granaries with limited space. It can be installed along the wall or corner, without taking up too much ground space, which is conducive to the rational use of space in the granary.
3) Manpower saving: It can be linked with other equipment in the granary, such as conveyor belts, metering devices, etc., to achieve automatic operation of grain transportation, reduce manual intervention, and improve work efficiency and accuracy.
4) No damage to grain: Because the hopper is used for continuous transportation, the grain will not be damaged by mechanical force.
Material selection for Industrial Bucket Elevators:
Hopper material
1) Plastic hopper (polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE)).
Advantages: It has the advantages of light weight, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and low cost. Its surface is smooth, and grain is not easy to adhere, which is conducive to the smooth unloading of materials.
Disadvantages: The strength of plastic hoppers is relatively low, and it is easy to wear or break when conveying larger particles or grains with higher hardness.
Scope of application: general grain crops, such as wheat, corn, etc.
2) Stainless steel hopper
Advantages: It has the advantages of high strength, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, sanitation and cleanliness. Stainless steel hoppers are not easy to rust, will not pollute grains, and have a long service life.
Disadvantages: The cost of stainless steel is relatively high and the weight is relatively heavy.
Application: It is suitable for conveying various grains, especially grains with high hygiene requirements, such as rice, beans, etc.
Main material
1) Carbon steel material: It has high strength and hardness, can withstand large loads, and is suitable for grain transportation in large granaries.
Advantages: The cost of carbon steel is relatively low.
Disadvantages: poor corrosion resistance, easy to rust. In order to improve the corrosion resistance of the carbon steel body, it is usually surface treated, such as spraying anti-rust paint, galvanizing, etc.
2) Stainless steel material: has excellent corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance and hygienic properties, suitable for granaries with high requirements for grain quality.
Advantages: The stainless steel body is not easy to rust, will not produce rust and other impurities to contaminate the grain, and is easy to clean and maintain.
Disadvantages: The price of stainless steel is relatively high, so it is necessary to consider the cost and use requirements when choosing.
