Vertical bucket conveyor, as a very widely used vertical conveying equipment, has been widely used in grain, feed and seed processing industries. But some problems also appeared in use, in order to enhance its working performance and reliability, it has been improved.

(1) An anti-reverse device is installed on the head of the Vertical bucket conveyor.
When the power is suddenly interrupted during the operation of the bucket conveyor, reverse rotation is very dangerous for the bucket conveyor. During the lifting process of the bucket elevator, one side is an ascending bucket filled with materials, and the other side is a descending empty bucket that has unloaded materials. After the power is interrupted, the bucket elevator must reverse due to gravity. With the reversal of the bucket, the material is unloaded to the bottom of the bucket conveyor until the bucket is jammed when it is full. Since reversing is an accelerated motion and then gets stuck suddenly, it is easy to tear off the bucket and damage or even break the belt. In addition, the bottom of the bucket elevator is full of materials, which also makes the bucket conveyor unable to start. Anti-reversal can adopt ratchet mechanism.
(2) Suction pipes and vents should be provided at the head and bottom of the Vertical bucket conveyor to ensure that the bucket conveyor will not form negative pressure and dust overflow during the unloading and feeding process.
A well-made conveying equipment must have a reliable seal. However, a good seal will inevitably produce a pressure difference during the material unloading and feeding process, resulting in difficulty in feeding and unloading. The vents make the internal pressure of the Vertical bucket conveyor basically equal to the external pressure. Proper suction prevents dust from overflowing from the ventilation, avoids waste and cleans the environment.
