1. The bucket elevator must be firmly installed on a solid concrete foundation. The surface of the concrete foundation should be flat and horizontal to ensure that the bucket elevator meets the vertical requirements after installation.
The high-height bucket elevator should be connected to the adjacent buildings (such as silos, workshops, etc.) in the appropriate positions of the middle and upper casings to increase its stability. When installing, install the lower parts first, fix the anchor bolts, then install the middle casing, and then install the upper casing. The cabinet is installed successfully, and the verticality is corrected. Measure with a lead straight line up and down the full height, the error should be less than 10mm. The upper and lower shafts should be parallel, and their axis should be in the same plane.
When installing a bucket elevator with a lower height, the upper, middle, and lower casings can be connected and aligned on the ground level, and then the whole can be hoisted and fixed on the concrete foundation.
2. After the cabinet is installed, install the chain and hopper. The U-shaped screw used for the hopper link is both a chain joint and a fixed part of the hopper. The nut of the U-shaped screw must be tightened and reliably prevented from loosening.
3. After the chain and hopper are installed, properly tighten them.
4. Add appropriate amounts of engine oil and grease to the reducer and the bearing seat respectively. The reducer is lubricated with industrial gear oil. Calcium-based or sodium-based butter can be used in the bearing housing.
5. Trial run. After the installation is completed, an empty test run should be carried out. Attention should be paid to dry running: no reverse rotation and no bumps. The idling operation is not less than 2 hours, there should be no overheating, the temperature rise of the bearing does not exceed 250C, and the temperature rise of the reducer does not exceed 300C. After 2 hours of dry operation, the load test can be carried out if everything is normal. Feeding should be even during the test run with load to prevent too much feed and block the lower part and cause "stuffy car".
