Bucket Conveyor and its benefits

Bucket elevator

Benefits of bucket elevator

In today’s world, the latest technologies are applied in all walks of life, and this goes with the usage of bucket conveyors, also. They are the number of buckets connected with each other onto a belt.

They are chain driven as well as Belt driven.  They are available in different sizes, shapes, and types, as per the material required to be moved, vertically. They are more popular in oil mills, mining industries, construction areas, etc. Its simplicity has made it, really popular, in various industries, specifically in bulk material handling and processing applications.

Advantages of bucket elevator

  • The Bucket elevators are serving effectively,  to move both heavy and light material with ease and accuracy. The Bucket Elevators are successfully elevating, the most free-flowing material, as well as material with poor flow characteristics, flowing bulk solids or powders, etc. The process of raising and lowering of material is done with the help of mechanical and hydraulic power.
  • The buckets conveyor’s benefits to deal with any type of material, strong elevation, durability less power consumption,  easy transportation, lifting even in the highest location,  capacity, smooth and steady functioning, etc. have proved it beneficial.
  • The bucket elevators are trusted machines, which are economical, serve for a long period of time, reduce labor cost, no interruption in transportation, all these have made it popular and beneficial.

Types of bucket elevator

  • Centrifugal discharge bucket elevator – The Centrifugal Discharge elevator uses profound buckets moving at a generally fast, permitting centrifugal power to move the material out of the bucket and into the discharge opening. It is particularly appropriate for tough and grating materials that can withstand scooping out of the boot and throwing out of the discharge.
  • Continuous discharge bucket elevator Z type bucket elevators are designed to handle products without material deterioration,  the product moves undisturbed until it is discharged.

Keeping in mind, Neo Conveyors, are designing, such Bucket Conveyor, by giving proper shape and specific design to it. Buckets are accordingly, attached with the required capacity and the speed is maintained to elevate it.

Economical and safely materials handling by Incline Conveyors

Economical and safe materials handling by Incline Conveyors

Incline Conveyors, like any other conveyor, serves the purpose of the movement of material. They are used as independent units to move material from one level to another, provided used with gravity conveyor, for continuous flow of material from one floor to another.  They are designed for permanent installation by using pre-designed sections.

The material can be moved forward as well as backward, in both directions. The reverse direction requires the help of the center drive. Incline Conveyors requires support at the top and bottom. The maximum recommended incline is 25º.  As they are inclined, a rough Top belt is used at the top.

In Incline Conveyor, the standard sections are combined to make any length required. They are normally equipped with NOSE OVER at the upper end, which enables the conveyed product to level off to a horizontal position before being discharged.  This is highly desirable for cartons carrying breakables. The nose over eliminates a dropping action by the front of the carton when it reaches the top. Generally, the carton should not exceed the overall width of the conveyor, but if it is wider it should have a flat bottom.

Incline belt conveyor

Neo Conveyors, keep in mind certain facts and factors before they go for incline conveyors. They believe in the satisfaction of their customers, along with, the requirement and logical facts, such as :

  • The kind of material to be moved
  • The angle of incline required
  • Belt to be used to give perfect running
  • Whether, it is a short or long load, as short ones are more vulnerable to toppling.
  • The closer the rollers, the smoother is a ride for each load, avoiding bobbling and rocking, with the help of a slider bed.
  • Right guidance and sorting the needs to be fulfilled.
