Figure 1 illustrates an elevator assembly. Bucket Elevator - The elevator assembly (Fig. 1) is the main assembly in the elevating system. It consists of the head (1), boot (14), casing (11), service door (12), and belt/chain and buckets. Head - The head (Item 1, Fig. 1) is the topmost component in the elevator leg. It consists of a steel housing

There are several kinds of bucket elevators discussed in this manual. 1. The Double Trunk High Capacity Bucket Elevator. 2. Large engineered Double-Trunk Elevators with pulleys 48″ diameter and larger, some with bent knee pulleys designed for high speed. 3. The Industrial Type Single Casing Elevators which may be furnished

Figure 2-9, Belt & Bucket Installation 17 Figure 2-10, Belt Splicing Methods 18 2.3.3.1 Belt/Bucket Installation The choice of methods used to install the belt and buckets is determined by: 1) length and weight of belt, 2) number, size, and weight of buckets, 3) open area available around the base of the elevator, and 4) available equipment

The Model VA is the newest belt alignment control specifically designed for use with bucket elevators. The unit is typically used in pairs to provide protection to both sides of the elevator leg, and indicates when the vertical belt strays or drifts beyond acceptable limits

Bucket Elevators 4 Bucket Elevator Standards • Elevator finish can be galvanized or stainless steel. • Shaft made of #1045, turned, ground and polished steel. Boot shafts are drilled and tapped for optional motion monitor. • Main head assembly has a 1/2-inch (12.7-mm) lip above the frame to provide a dust-tight and weatherproof seal. Split

Feb 08, 2018 Problem #2: Equipment jamming. Continuous bucket elevators can jam for a variety of reasons. Some of these include: Moving product that can interlock or catch on equipment frame members. Material blockages or foreign bodies become entrapped within the elevator shell or housing. Worn buckets that fail to overlap or interlock as designed

The WDA sensor can be used on bucket elevators to measure speed and alignment by sensing either the metal elevator buckets, or the ferrous bolts attached to plastic buckets. A more specialized use for the WDA switch is as a broken/slack chain detector on drag chain conveyors, or as a non-contact speed switch for screw conveyors

BUCKET ELEVATORS FOUNDATION Because most bucket elevators are self-supporting for vertical loads, the foundation must be designed to take the total weight of the elevator and the material that is to be lifted by the bucket elevator. The foundation must be level to provide the proper support for the elevator and the casing must be braced for wind loads at intervals shown on the drawings
