Computer designed bucket elevators are made from galvanized steel, their capacity range from 25 t/h to 400 t/h. Bucket elevators consist of head, trunk and boot sections which are completely bolt connected. Bolt connected structure expedites the assembly, service and maintenance of the bucket elevators.
Galvanized steel structure is designed to augment elevator’s life-span. Consequently, there is no need for periodic painting work of the elevators. Thus, maintenance cost is decreased.
Head Section :
Consists of three pieces for interior accessibility. Specially designed to minimize wear and improve material discharge flow. Strengthened with bolted structural angle iron frame with vertical stiffeners. Acquires inspection doors.
Polyethylene Covering :
Front section of the head is covered by polyethylene material in order to avoid abrasion during unloading process of the grain.
Inspection and Service Door :
Enables easy access into the head section.
Strengthened Angle Iron Frame :
Used at hood and boot section joints in order to gain extra endurance to the elevator.
Spilling Rim :
Various spilling rims are available due to the grain unloading and system.
Reducer and Reducer Lock :
Heavy duty helical geared reducers are preferred to gain durability and productivity to elevators.
When a malfunction or a power outage occurs reducer lock avoids belt to turn to the opposite direction.
Trunk :
It is strengthened with horizontal trunking flanges. Trunk supports the elevator and preserves belt and buckets.
Completely bolt connected trunk is made of galvanized steel.
In order to prevent any problems about the statical loads with respect to the elevator height and environmental conditions, trunk must have adequate steel thickness. Inspection doors enable easy access into the trunk.
High Density Polyethylene Bucket :
UHMW polyethylene buckets which are compatible with food regulation have more resistance to abrasion. Since high handling capacity buckets are preferred, elevators can be operated at low rpm which leads to decreased maintenance costs and increased life-span.
Belt :
Belt resistance capability should be chosen with respect to the handling capacity and height of the elevator. To do so increases life-span of the elevator and decreases the maintenance costs.
Grain Flow Entrance :
Different types of grain flow entrances are available according to the system. Second entrance is optionally available on elevators which are produced with one entrance in standard.
Boot Section :
Strengthened with angle iron frames for heavy duty conditions. Inspection doors on the boot section enables easy observation of boot interior. When a malfunction occurs and grain accumulates at boot section, drop down clean-out panels enable to discharge the accumulated grain.
Drum :
Balanced with computers in order to get best performance. Drum surface is covered by rubber to avoid belt to glide. Has a bolt connected structure with spindle to simplify maintenance.
