As a commonly used lifting equipment, the selection of bucket elevator is constrained by many factors, and choosing the wrong type can bring endless trouble to the user. The selection of bucket elevator usually depends on the following factors:
1. The form of the material: whether the material is in powder, particle, or small block form.
2. The physical properties of the material: whether the material has adsorption or viscosity, and whether it contains water.
3. Specific gravity of materials: Usually, the parameters of bucket elevator are planned and calculated for materials with a stacking density of 1.6 or less. For materials with a density that is too large, calculations for traction and transmission, as well as tensile strength, are required.
4. The transportation volume per unit time.
What are the maintenance tips? Now let's cover them all:
1. The bucket elevator should be driven with no load. So before each shutdown, all materials in the hopper should be drained before parking.
2. Cannot be reversed. Reversing may lead to the appearance of chain derailment, and it is very difficult to eliminate the derailment problem.
3. Feed evenly. Stop suddenly increasing the feeding amount. The feeding amount cannot exceed the transport capacity of the hoist. Otherwise, if the material accumulation at the bottom becomes severe, a "stuck car" accident may occur.
4. Timely and appropriately replenish lubricating oil.
5. When the chain and hopper are severely worn or damaged, they should be replaced in a timely manner.
