Types of lifting buckets for plate chain elevators

The types of lifting buckets for plate chain elevators can be divided into three main types based on universal design: deep buckets, shallow buckets, and triangular buckets, which are suitable for different material characteristics and conveying needs. The following are specific classifications and applicable scenarios:

1、 Classify by hopper shape

Deep Fight

Features: The hopper has a large depth and a small front wall slope, making it suitable for conveying loose and flowable powder or granular materials.

Advantage: With a large loading capacity, the material naturally slides down by gravity during unloading, reducing residue.

Application scenarios: Vertical transportation of powdered materials in industries such as building materials, chemicals, and electricity.

Shallow Dou

Features: The hopper has a shallow depth and a steep front wall, making it suitable for conveying block or abrasive materials.

Advantage: During unloading, the material relies on the combined action of gravity and front wall friction to prevent blockage.

Application scenarios: Transporting block materials in mining, metallurgy, mining and other fields.

Triangle Dou

Features: The hopper is triangular in shape with a narrow bottom, suitable for conveying materials with poor fluidity or easy adhesion.

Advantage: Reduce the accumulation of materials in dead corners of the hopper and improve unloading efficiency.

Application scenarios: Processing high humidity or viscous materials in industries such as grain processing and environmental protection.
