Vertical Bucket Conveyor

Our vertical bucket conveyor is a mechanical device that uses a series of buckets evenly fixed on a circular traction component (such as a belt or chain) to continuously and vertically lift granular materials (powder, granular, and small block-shaped). It has significant advantages such as large conveying capacity, high lifting height, stable and reliable operation, and long service life. Our equipment is suitable for conveying non-abrasive and low-abrasive materials without abrasion, such as coal, cement, stones, sand, clay, ores, etc. Since the traction mechanism of our Bucket Elevator is a circular chain, it allows the transportation of materials with higher temperatures (with the material temperature not exceeding 250℃), and the maximum conveying height can reach 40 meters to 80 meters.

 

 

In the grain industry, depending on the different traction components, the common models mainly include:

• TD/TDG series (band type): Uses rubber belts as the traction component. It is characterized by smooth operation, low noise, and large conveying capacity. It is one of the most commonly used models in the grain and feed industries. The TDG series is developed based on the TD type, specifically for grain transportation characteristics. It usually adopts integral stretched buckets and strong-type traction belts.
• TH series (chain type): Uses circular chains as the traction component. It is suitable for occasions with a large lifting height and materials with certain abrasiveness. It has high structural strength and a long service life.
• NE series (plate chain type): Uses high-strength plate chains. It belongs to heavy-duty elevators and is suitable for occasions with a large conveying capacity, slightly higher material temperature (up to 250°C), or certain abrasiveness.

 

 

Our vertical bucket conveyor consists of a running section (bucket and traction belt), an upper section with drive rollers, a lower section with tension rollers, a middle casing, a drive unit, and a backstop brake.

Its principle is that the bucket scoops up material from the lower storage, lifts it to the top with the conveyor belt or chain, passes it over the top pulley, flips it downwards, and then pours the material into the receiving trough.

Belt-driven Belt Bucket Elevators typically use rubber belts, mounted on the lower or upper drive rollers and the upper and lower idler rollers. Chain-driven Chain Bucket Elevators generally have two parallel drive chains, with a pair of drive sprockets at the top or bottom and a pair of idler sprockets at the bottom or top.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Series / Model	Traction Component	Key Features & Suitable Scenarios	Typical Application Industries
TD / TDG Series	Rubber Belt	Most common. Simple structure, smooth and quiet operation.

The grain bucket elevator is a core conveying equipment in the grain processing and storage industry. Its typical applications include:
Grain Storage: grain warehouses, the harvested grains are lifted from the unloading pit to tall silos or warehouse-style silos for storage.
Grain Processing: In flour mills, rice processing plants, and feed mills, it is used to connect various processes such as cleaning, grinding, screening, mixing, and packaging, achieving vertical material transfer.
Oil And Grain Processing: In oil mills and grain deep processing enterprises, it is used to convey oil-bearing crops, finished meal, etc. materials.
Food And Auxiliary Materials: It is used to convey food raw materials or auxiliary materials such as sugar, salt, starch, additives, etc.
