Z-type bucket elevator is an efficient and flexible material conveying equipment widely used in industries such as grain, food granules, candy, etc. Its unique Z-shaped structural design enables vertical and horizontal material transportation within a limited space, meeting various production needs. This article will provide a detailed introduction to the working principle, advantages, application areas, and how to choose the appropriate equipment for the Z-type bucket elevator.

1、 What is Z-type bucket elevator?

Z-type bucket elevator is a conveying equipment driven by a chain or belt, which uses a hopper to lift materials from low to high, and achieves horizontal and vertical direction conversion during the conveying process. Its name comes from its unique Z-shaped conveying path.

2、 Working principle of Z-type bucket elevator

Material loading

The material enters the hopper from the bottom feeding port, and the hopper is driven upward by a chain or belt.

Vertical lift

The hopper lifts the material to the required height in the vertical section.

Horizontal conveying

At the top, the hopper transports materials to the designated location through horizontal sections.

Material unloading

The material is discharged from the hopper at the top by gravity or centrifugal force, completing the conveying process.
