Bucket Conveyor System

A centrifugal discharge elevator may be vertical at 90 Degree or inclined at 75 to 85 degree. Vertical elevators depend entirely on the action of centrifugal force to get the material into the discharge chute and must be run at speeds relatively high generally 30:1. Inclined elevators with buckets spaced apart or set close together may have the discharge chute set partly under the head pulley. Since they don't depend entirely on the centrifugal force to put the material into the chute, The bucket elevator is the enabling technology that permitted the construction of grain / Rice Elevators. A diverter at the top of the elevator allows the grain to be sent to the chosen bin.Bucket elevator can elevate a variety of bulk materials from light to heavy and from fine to large lumps.
