The feed bucket elevator is a commonly used vertical conveying equipment in feed processing production lines. It is mainly used to continuously and stably lift powdered, granular, or small lump feed materials and raw materials (such as corn, soybean meal, and finished feed pellets) from a lower position to a designated height. It is widely applied in feed mills, grain processing plants, oil mills, and related industries.
Working Principle
The feed bucket elevator is driven by an electric motor and gearbox, which drive the traction components (rubber belt or chain) to run in a continuous cycle. The buckets evenly fixed on the traction element are filled with material at the bottom inlet section. As the traction system moves upward to the head section, the material is discharged from the outlet under the action of centrifugal force or gravity, realizing continuous vertical conveying.
Main Structure
The feed bucket elevator mainly consists of the following parts:
Head section: including driving motor, gearbox, head pulley (or sprocket), and discharge outlet
Middle casing: made of high-quality steel plates with good sealing performance; can be flexibly assembled according to the required lifting height
Boot section: equipped with a tensioning device and material inlet to ensure stable operation
Traction system: rubber elevator belt or chain matched with high-strength buckets
