Product Details

Vertical Bucket Elevator Hoist for Bulk Materials

The Bucket Elevator Hoist is a fixed mechanical conveying system engineered for the continuous vertical lifting of bulk materials. In mineral processing plants where floor space is limited, a bucket elevator can lift crushed ore vertically up to 40 meters, taking up a fraction of the footprint required by a long, inclined belt conveyor.

Widely utilized across mining, cement, feed, and chemical industries, this Vertical Conveyor is ideal for transporting powder, granular, and small block materials. Whether you are lifting crushed limestone, coal, dry clay, or fine cement powder, our elevators provide reliable, high-capacity vertical transport.

How a Bucket Elevator Works

The continuous lifting process is simple, efficient, and fully enclosed.

Inflow Feeding: Material flows into the bottom hopper (the boot) where the buckets automatically scoop it up as they round the bottom tail pulley.
Vertical Lifting: A heavy-duty traction mechanism (either a rubber belt or steel chain) pulls the loaded buckets vertically up through a sealed steel casing.
Discharge: As the buckets pass over the top drive pulley (the head), the material is thrown out into the receiving discharge chute via centrifugal force or gravity.

Traction Systems: Belt vs. Chain

We offer three distinct traction mechanisms depending on the abrasiveness and temperature of your material:

Traction Type	Max Temperature	Characteristics & Best Use
Rubber Adhesive Tape (Belt)	≤ 60°C (Standard) / ≤ 120°C (Heat-Resistant)	Simple structure, fast running speed. Best for powders and low-abrasion materials. (Steel cord reinforced belts available for heavy loads up to 80°C).
Ring Chain	≤ 250°C	Forged steel rings offer a simple, firm connection that is highly wear-resistant. Ideal for hot, highly abrasive ores.
Plate Chain	≤ 250°C	Extremely strong structure with massive lifting capacity. Best for high-tonnage mining applications, though articulated joints require regular lubrication.

Discharge Methods & Core Advantages

Customized Unloading:

Centrifugal Discharge: Operates at a faster bucket speed. Best for fine powders and granular materials that easily fly out of the bucket.
Gravity Discharge: Operates at a slower speed. Best for heavy, fragile, or abrasive lumps (like clinker or raw ore) that need to slide out smoothly without smashing.
Mixed Discharge: A hybrid approach utilizing both centrifugal throw and gravity drop for damp or sticky materials.

Equipment Advantages:

Dust-Free Environmental Protection: The entire lifting process happens inside a fully sealed steel casing, eliminating airborne dust and keeping the plant environment clean.
High Efficiency & Energy Saving: The dense arrangement of buckets and "inflow feeding" mechanism (where material flows directly into the bucket rather than the bucket digging into the material) minimizes ineffective power consumption and reduces wear.
Long Service Life: Advanced design and rigorous manufacturing processes ensure a trouble-free continuous operation time of more than 20,000 hours.
