What do Bucket Elevators do?
Just like how commercial elevators are used for hauling men, bucket elevators are used for hauling materials of industrial nature. Bucket elevators or grain legs are convex vessels that are used for carrying materials. They are used primarily for hauling materials which mostly consist of free-flowing or semi-flowing bulky industrial materials. They can withstand larger capacities depending on the requirements. A typical bucket elevator consists of a bucket, conveyor belt, motors that drive the belt. They function using buckets situated in the housing, that are used to contain materials. These bucket elevators are used in varied industries such as mining, pharmaceutical industries, manufacturing (from the first stage to the final stage of production), construction, waste management, fertilizer, and more. Depending on the application they are available in different material builds such as stainless steel, polypropylene, polycarbonate, and metalized polypropylene. They come with a varied set of configurations that allow them to index units from single to multiple discharge units.
Bucket Elevators are used for varied applications in the industry such as:
- Hauling of bulky free and semi- flowing materials both vertically and horizontally.
- They can haul different kinds of materials such as cement, chemicals, minerals, animal feeds, Lime, Wood chips, Aggregates, coal, grains, and more.
- Heavy-duty bucket elevators are used for pre-grinding operations such as in the construction industry.
- For elevating materials that are usually hot, abrasive, and granular in nature.
- They are used for making the process efficient by conveying more materials at a time through their high capacities.
