Bucket attachment

for center discharge and positive discharge snubbed bucket elevators

For many vertical conveying applications the chain bucket elevator is the preferred system in many industries. Chain bucket elevators are used for example in the cement industry, lime and gypsum plants, sugar industry, coal industry, fertilizer industry, in food processing industry and many other fields. Chain bucket elevators have several obvious advantages compared with belt elevators when handling high temperature, abrasive, sticky or sharp bulk materials.

Application:

• In bucket elevators with gravity discharge for example centre discharge- and positive discharge snubbed bucket elevators.

Typical application:

• For slow-running bucket elevators Vmax = 0,8 m/s.
• Higher speed on request.

Advantages:

• Endless chain strands can beused.
• Simply installation on the chain.
• Two-link attachment and smooth running over the wheels.

Scope of supply:

• 1 bracket and 2 locking nuts according to DIN 980 per bracket.

Installation:

• Pivot bracket into stretchedor slack chain. Observe conveying direction.
• Pivot the bracket back.
• Engage the bracket into itsfinal position.
• Installed position. Readyfor mounting bucket.

When mounting the fastening on the back of the bucket, the factors influencing the tight eningtorques must be taken into account asstated in VDI 2230. After two weeks’ operationretighten the nuts and ensure that they aretightly seated.
