Industrial bucket elevators are suitable for lifting from low to high. After the material is supplied into the hopper through the vibrating table, the machine automatically continuously transports and transports it upwards. The following will take you to understand some common faults and how to deal with them.

Common faults and solutions of industrial bucket elevators:
1. Slip the hopper belt.
The main reason for the slippage of the hopper belt is the insufficient tension of the return hopper belt. Solution: Immediately stop and tighten the hopper belt. If the hopper belt cannot be fully tightened, the tensioner travel is too short and needs to be adjusted.
2. The hopper belt deviates.
The deviation of the hopper belt can easily lead to the deviation of the hopper and the cylinder, and the deviation of the hopper belt can easily lead to the tearing of the hopper belt. If this happens, stop the machine immediately and adjust the drive shafts of the head and lower wheels on the same vertical level. And keep it in a horizontal position! The vertical deviation should preferably not exceed 2mm, and the cumulative deviation should not exceed 8mm.
3. Drive motor failure.
If the elevator temperature is too high, the motor will burn out. Some parts of the elevator are easy to get stuffy. The manufacturer of industrial bucket elevators tells you that if the car is stuffy, you need to cut off the power immediately, find out the cause, adjust it in time, and start it after clearing the fault.
4. The material falls off.
In the production process, if the feed is too much, the feed position is too low, or the material of the hopper itself is a problem, it will cause the hopper to fall off. We need to check ourselves. If the feed is too much, we need to reduce the amount of feed and strive for uniformity. If the position of the feed port is too low, the position of the feed port should be adjusted above the low wheel line! If the hopper material is not good, the hopper needs to be replaced. Hoppers are usually welded or stamped from steel or gold-plated sheets.
4. Drive motor failure.
If the elevator temperature is too high, the motor will burn. Some parts of the elevator are easy to get stuffy. The manufacturer of industrial bucket elevators tells you that if the car is stuffy, you need to cut off the power immediately, find out the reason, adjust it in time, and start it after clearing the fault!
5. The reducer is damaged.
Reducer damage is one of the most common faults in elevators, usually a high-speed shaft tear, a high-speed gear failure, or a damaged reducer bearing or insufficient lubrication. In case of damage, a hydrodynamic coupling between the motor and the reducer is required. In addition, the reducer can be inspected frequently and maintained in time to reduce the possibility of reducer failure.
Industrial bucket elevators have the characteristics of low operating power, wide application range, long service life, simple operation and stable operation. The production technology is mature and the equipment quality is reliable.

Batching plant bulk material transfer scheme
In batching plant systems, assembled steel silos are often required as intermediate storage containers for ingredients. Bulk materials are transported to these assembled steel silos by bulk trucks, belts, etc., and then conveyed to the weighing scales via screw conveyors, belt conveyors, etc., for mixing.
Factory Bulk Material Storage and Conveying Solutions
Factory bulk material storage and conveying solution: Raw materials arrive at the factory by bulk trucks or other means, and are conveyed to the raw material storage silo via dump-lift or compressed air. They are then transported to the metering equipment via belt conveyor or screw conveyor. After precise metering, they are mixed or bagged, and sent to the finished product storage silo via discharge equipment, or bagged for sale after packaging by an automatic packaging and palletizing machine.
Hydropower project bulk material transfer scheme
New hydropower projects are usually built in relatively remote areas, making it difficult to transport raw materials such as cement, fly ash, and sand and gravel. Large-capacity prefabricated steel plate silos are usually needed for centralized transportation, allowing for a single delivery to cover a longer period. The materials are then directly transported to the point of use via inclined belts, pneumatic conveying, and other methods.
Train Bulk Material Transfer Scheme Diagram
Bulk materials are delivered to the site by train, and then transported via pneumatic conveying/belt conveying/screw conveyors and elevators, etc., to assembled steel silos for storage. From there, they are distributed to various locations in the region by tanker trucks, or connected to a bagging machine for sale as bagged materials, or transported by truck to the point of use.
Port Bulk Material Transfer Station Solution
Bulk materials arrive at the terminal by water, and are then transported to assembled steel plate silos for storage via pneumatic conveying, belt conveying, ship unloaders, bulk truck transfer, chutes, elevators, etc. Afterwards, they are distributed throughout the region by cement tankers or connected to packaging machines for sale as bagged materials.
Mine Bulk Material Storage and Transportation Solution
Ore raw materials are transported through mining to raw material storage silos or stockyards, then transported via conveyor belts to crushing machinery (coarse crushing, fine crushing), and then transported by belt conveyors/hoists or other means to finished product storage silos or processing equipment, finally transported by truck or packaged for sale. If necessary, the crushed granular material is then ground into powder by a pulverizer and transported to the finished product warehouse, then sold via bulk trucks or after packaging.
