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.

Energy saving Belt Conveyor

How to make Conveyor energy efficient

The Belt Conveyor is a machine, which can continuously transport material. The transmission principle of friction drives the material through the roller and the tape. The belt conveyors are widely used in metallurgy, coal, hydropower, building material, chemical industries, and various other sectors.
The Belt Conveyors as we know are very convenient, a friendly machine easily operated with the least exertion making transportation of bulk material easier and packed material convenient. The conveyor is a continuous traction transport by the conveyor belt, which works in two ways, as a carrying device that can transport ore, coal, and other bulk materials and also packaged into items. Because of its transport capacity and small transport resistance, low maintenance, stable operation, minimum damage I any, and particularly low consumption of power is making the Belt Conveyor a very popular machine among various sectors. Neo Conveyors are indulged in the same.

Select energy efficient motor

There is probably not as much efficiency loss as you think in running conveyor motors. Conveyors may be equipped with NEMA Design C (high starting torque) motors or NEMA Design B motors that were intentionally oversized as they were selected based upon starting torque and not normal operation criteria. High locked rotor or start-up torque is required to start a fully-loaded conveyor from a stopped condition. Outdoor conveyors might also be iced up. If inadequate starting torque is not available, the motor(s) will stall and trip the overcurrent breakers. The power required under normal operation to transport materials is a function of conveyor loading, Conveyor speed, lift (elevation gain), and friction losses in the conveyor rollers.
 

Select energy efficient gearbox

Comparing efficiencies of different gear types across various reduction ratios will help us to make the right gearbox selection for our applications. Please note that these efficiency values are for general guidelines and refer manufacturer’s catalog for more accurate values.
Gear Efficiency Comparison Table
No Type Normal Ratio Range Efficiency Range
1 Spur 1:1 to 6:1 94-98%
2 Straight Bevel 3:2 to 5:1 93-97%
3 Spiral Bevel 3:2 to 4:1 95-99%
4 Worm 5:1 to 75:1 50-90%
5 Hypoid 10:1 to 200:1 80-95%
6 Helical 3:2 to 10:1 94-98%
7 Cycloid 10:1 to 100:1 75-85%

Regular Maintenance Increase Efficiency

*Avoid misuse of conveyors.

*Monitor belt tracking accurately and closely.

*Lubricate bearings properly.

*Proper installation. Clean and check photo eyes.

*Avoid under-sizing pneumatic controlled devices.

*Avoid water build-up in airlines. Make sure conveyor systems are properly grounded. Regularly check chain and belt tension.

Bucket elevator manufacturers in India

Neo conveyors, bucket elevator manufacturers in India since 2007. we manufacturer two types of bucket elevators that are used for bulk materials handling.

  1. Centrifugal bucket elevator
  2.  Continuous Bucket Elevator

Centrifugal bucket elevator

Centrifugal Bucket Elevator is the most common and efficient way to convey material. It has been serving efficiently and is used to convey free-flowing/powered bulk solids, such as sugar, grains, animal feed, sand, minerals, aggregates, chemicals, and more. Centrifugal Bucket Elevators as the name suggest operating at high speed throwing the materials out of the buckets into the discharge throat by centrifugal force. The industrial bucket elevators operate at slower speeds than standard duty-type elevators. In Centrifugal Bucket Elevators the Style AA buckets are used, which are widely spaced on a chain or belt, which operate at speed up to 305 FPM for handling the heaviest industrial material up to 1213 pounds per cubic foot.
