Bucket elevators can be divided into three types according to the transmission mode: TD belt bucket elevators, NE plate chain bucket elevators, and TH ring chain bucket elevators. They have the advantages of large lifting height, stable lifting, small footprint, good tightness, etc.. It is suitable for lifting from a low place to a high place. After the supplied material is put into the hopper through the vibrating table, the machine will automatically run continuously and transport it upwards. It is suitable for handling powdery and small lump materials. According to the speed of the hopper, the bucket elevator can be divided into three types: centrifugal discharge, gravity discharge and mixed discharge. The bucket speed of centrifugal unloading is fast, which is suitable for conveying powdery, granular, small block and other materials with small abrasiveness; the bucket speed of gravity unloading is slow, and it is suitable for conveying bulky, heavy and high-abrasive materials, such as limestone, clinker, etc.
