The Z-type bucket elevator for granular and bulk materials is a mechanical equipment specifically designed for conveying granular and bulk materials. Here is a detailed introduction from Jiangsu Jiangteng:

1、 Appearance and Structure

The appearance of the Z-type bucket elevator is a "Z" shape, abbreviated as Z-type elevator or Z-type bucket elevator. Its structure mainly consists of a shell, a traction component (conveyor chain), a hopper, a driving wheel (head wheel), a reversing wheel (tail wheel), a tensioning device, a guiding device, a feeding port (inlet), and a discharging port (outlet). The hopper scoops up the material from the storage below, lifts it to the top with the conveyor belt or chain, passes around the top wheel, and flips down to pour the material into the receiving trough.

2、 Working principle

The working principle of Z-type bucket elevator is to use a motor to drive a conveyor belt or chain for continuous circulation. After the material enters the feeding port of the elevator, the conveyor belt or chain belt moves the animal material upward along the Z-shaped track. In this process, the material is transported from low to high position by lifting the inclined position of the lifting belt. During the lifting process, the inclination angle and conveying speed of the material can be adjusted to meet the lifting needs of different types of materials.

3、 Characteristics and advantages

Diverse combination forms: Z-type bucket elevator can horizontally vertically horizontally transport materials, with diverse and flexible combination forms.

Zero damage: The entire process of feeding, conveying, and unloading ensures no damage to the material, making it suitable for transporting fragile items.

Multi point unloading: It can achieve single or multi-point automatic unloading, suitable for feeding multiple silos in a row.

Anti overflow material: It can be paired with a vibrating feeder for uniform feeding, overcoming the problem of overflow in the full bucket.

Good sealing: The entire machine shell is sealed, with no leakage or dust flying during operation, reducing pollution.

Strong adaptability: Suitable for various bulk materials such as granules, powders, etc., especially suitable for fields such as food, chemical, mining, etc.

4、 Application scenarios

Food industry: Packaging machines or processing equipment used to transport powdered and granular foods from low to high places.

Chemical industry: A reactor or mixing equipment used to transport powdered or granular chemical raw materials from the ground to high places.

Building materials industry: storage bins or mixing equipment used to transport materials such as limestone, gypsum, cement, etc. from the ground to high altitude.

5、 Usage and maintenance

Preparation before startup: The Z-type bucket elevator should be started with no load, so all materials in the hopper should be drained before stopping each time.

Operation precautions: Do not reverse, reverse may cause chain derailment; The feeding should be evenly distributed, and sudden increase in feeding amount is prohibited. The feeding amount should not exceed the conveying capacity of the elevator.

Maintenance: Timely and appropriately replenish lubricating oil; When the chain and hopper are severely worn or damaged, they should be replaced in a timely manner.

In summary, the Z-type bucket elevator for granular materials is an efficient, flexible, and adaptable material conveying equipment widely used in various fields such as food, chemical, and mining. During use, it is necessary to pay attention to its operating standards and maintenance work to ensure its long-term stable operation.
