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 shape 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. The 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, the calculation of traction force and transmission part tensile strength is required.

4. The transportation volume per unit time.

What are some common knowledge about protection? 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 chain derailment, and it is very difficult to clean up the derailment problem.

3. Feed evenly. Stop the sudden increase in feeding volume. 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.
