vertical bucket conveyor

The vertical bucket conveyor, also known as bucket elevator, is a core vertical conveying equipment specially customized for dry mortar production lines. It is mainly applied to continuous vertical lifting of powdery and granular materials such as raw sand, cement, fly ash, dry mortar finished powder, putty powder and thermal insulation mortar materials. Different from traditional horizontal screw conveyors, it adopts closed bucket circulating lifting structure, realizing low-loss vertical material transportation from ground feeding to silo top feeding, mixer feeding and packaging station feeding. Featuring fully enclosed operation, stable conveying and no material spilling, it effectively solves the problems of large dust emission, low lifting efficiency and serious material waste in traditional mortar material conveying processes. The equipment can be seamlessly matched with batching systems, mixing systems and automatic packaging lines to form a fully automated dry mortar production conveying system, supporting 24-hour continuous and stable operation of the entire production line and improving the overall production efficiency of mortar factories.

• Fully Enclosed Conveying, Zero Dust Pollution: Adopts fully sealed shell and closed circulating bucket conveying structure. There is no material leakage or dust overflow during the whole lifting process, which effectively controls dust pollution in high-dust mortar workshops. It complies with industrial environmental protection standards and improves the on-site production environment fundamentally.
• High-efficiency & Low-loss Vertical Lifting: Optimized bucket structure and reasonable spacing design maximize material filling rate and discharging efficiency. The centrifugal smooth discharging mode ensures thorough material unloading without residual accumulation. It achieves stable high-capacity conveying with extremely low material breakage and spilling loss, greatly reducing raw material waste.
• Stable Operation & Strong Continuous Working Capacity: Equipped with high-power matched drive motor and reinforced transmission system, the equipment runs smoothly with low vibration and low noise. It supports long-term 24-hour continuous heavy-load operation, perfectly adapting to the high-frequency and continuous production demands of large and medium-sized dry mortar production lines.
• Intelligent Linkage & Automatic Control: Compatible with PLC intelligent control system of the whole production line. It can realize automatic start-stop linkage according to the material level of silos and mixers, with real-time monitoring of operating status. It supports one-click parameter adjustment and fault early warning, reducing manual intervention and realizing unmanned conveying operation.
• Wide Compatibility & Flexible Customization: Adaptable to various mortar raw materials and finished powder materials with different particle sizes and bulk densities. The conveying height, speed and capacity can be customized according to on-site workshop layout and production capacity requirements, suitable for various standard and non-standard dry mortar production line configurations.
• Durable Structure & Low Operation Cost: Adopts heavy-duty carbon steel frame and wear-resistant engineering plastic/steel buckets, with anti-rust and wear-resistant treatment on key components. The equipment has few vulnerable parts, low failure rate and long service life. Daily maintenance is simple, effectively reducing long-term operation and maintenance costs for enterprises.

• Inspect the transmission belt/chain, buckets, fasteners and sealing shell before daily startup to ensure no looseness, wear, deformation or material blockage, and check the normal operation of the tensioning device.
• Start the equipment in no-load state first, and feed materials only after stable operation. It is strictly prohibited to start with load to avoid motor overload and equipment jamming failure.
• Control the uniform feeding speed and feeding volume to prevent excessive feeding from causing material accumulation, bucket overflow and blockage of the conveying channel.
• Prohibit hard foreign matters such as iron blocks and stones from mixing into materials to prevent bucket damage, transmission failure and equipment jamming during lifting operation.
• Regularly clean the residual materials and dust inside the equipment shell, especially the discharging port and circulating buckets, to avoid long-term material accumulation affecting conveying efficiency and causing mildew or agglomeration.
• Regularly lubricate transmission bearings, gears and other moving parts, and check the tightness of belt/chain and the wear degree of buckets to replace worn parts in time.
• Cut off the total power supply completely during equipment maintenance, debugging and cleaning. It is forbidden to open the sealing cover and touch operating parts during equipment operation.
• Keep the equipment operating environment dry and clean, avoid long-term humid and corrosive environment, and regularly check the electrical circuit and sensors to ensure sensitive and stable signal response.
